Here at Comal Chemical, we specialize in supplying bulk chemicals for the commercial and industrial spaces that rely on them. One of the chemicals we stock and deliver is sodium hypochlorite, or as it is more commonly known, bleach. In an industrial setting, the concentration typically used is sodium hypochlorite 12.5%. Many different industries rely on this bleach solution for a variety of purposes. Here are three industries that utilize bleach in bulk.
- Obviously, the healthcare industry relies on getting rid of germs and bacteria on surfaces to help reduce the chance of people getting sick or worsening their conditions. Bleach has disinfection properties that make it ideal for this very purpose. In a surgical setting, medical instruments are often sterilized with an industrial-strength bleach solution.
- Industrial cleaning. Commercial and industrial cleaning agents operate very similarly to household cleaning agents, and the industries that rely on bleach as a cleaning agent often buy an industrial-strength solution. Maintaining a clean environment is necessary not only for the health and safety of employees and customers in a commercial setting but may also be necessary for production and manufacturing processes.
- Water treatment. Water, whether it’s being used for drinking or swimming, often needs to be treated to keep people safe. Water treatment plants use bleach solutions to get rid of microorganisms that aren’t safe if ingested. Bleach is also used in swimming pools to eliminate bacteria that thrive in this setting and whose presence can make people sick.
