Sodium hypochlorite

Sodium hypochlorite solution, also called hypolye or chlorine bleaching lye, is produced at Donau Chemie by reacting synthetically produced chlorine gas with pure sodium hydroxide solution. The clear solution with a characteristic chlorine odour has a strong oxidising effect and is used for bleaching and disinfecting.

Sodium hypochlorite solution is an essential component of disinfecting and bleaching household cleaners and is also used as a disinfectant in swimming pools or for drinking water treatment.
