The role and use of sodium hypochlorite disinfectant

The coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is affecting everyone's attention, and strengthening protection is an important means to avoid the spread of similar infectious diseases. This incident has significantly increased people’s awareness of health protection, including people consciously quarantining at home during the Spring Festival to reduce the risk of transmission. It is precisely because of the participation of the whole people that there is a shortage of epidemic prevention materials. It is not just a shortage of masks. Years ago, the 75% alcohol and sodium hypochlorite disinfectant in major pharmacies and supermarkets were also sold out, and a bottle was hard to find.

Overview of sodium hypochlorite solution Sodium hypochlorite solution is an inorganic chlorine-containing disinfectant. The application of sodium hypochlorite aqueous solution in disinfection has a history of more than 100 years. At present, it has been widely used in disinfection in various industries such as medical treatment, hygiene and epidemic prevention, industry and agriculture.

In recent years, in order to solve the instability and storage and transportation problems, disinfectants have conducted a lot of research. A large number of new compound products have come out. These formulas overcome some of the shortcomings of sodium hypochlorite and enhance practicality. Various types of sodium hypochlorite generators have been developed in production, which can be produced and used on-site.

The role and use of sodium hypochlorite disinfectant

(1) Sterilization

Sodium hypochlorite disinfectant is an efficient, fast, and broad-spectrum disinfectant, which can effectively kill various microorganisms. Its sterilization speed is tens to hundreds of times faster than that of chloramine.

(2) Purpose

Some sodium hypochlorite disinfectants can be used to disinfect human body surfaces, fruits and vegetables, daily necessities, and living environments.

Precautions for using sodium hypochlorite disinfectant

1. When using sodium hypochlorite disinfectant, choose an appropriate sterilization concentration, and be careful not to fall into the misunderstanding of "the higher the concentration, the better the effect", because high temperature and high concentration can make it rapidly attenuate and affect the disinfection effect.

2. Sodium hypochlorite disinfectant should not be stored for a long time. Affected by factors such as light and temperature, available chlorine is easy to volatilize.

3. The use of sodium hypochlorite disinfectant is affected by the pH of the water. The higher the pH of the water, the worse the disinfection effect.

4. When using sodium hypochlorite disinfectant, it is necessary to remove the organic matter on the surface of the object, because the organic matter may consume effective chlorine and reduce the disinfection effect.

Safety Tips: During the epidemic, do good ventilation. You can open the range hood and windows in the kitchen to keep the room clean and tidy, and protect yourself. Choose a good sodium hypochlorite generator to make a home-made disinfectant, which can not only be used for household disinfection, There is no need to go to pharmacies and supermarkets to grab the goods, which can reduce the risk of cross infection.
