Sodium percarbonate

Sodium percarbonate releases active oxygen when dissolved in water, which bleaches, removes organic stains and suppresses odour without chlorine. It forms the base of oxygen bleaches for laundry, laundry soaking products and powdered household cleaning products. It only starts acting on contact with water, making it easy to work with in powder and tablet formulations. In water it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate . The peroxide provides bleaching and decomposition of organic soils, the carbonate gives the bath an alkaline pH , which helps release grease and softens water during washing. Both components break down into water, oxygen and soda after use, so after rinsing nothing remains in textiles or on surfaces. What it is suitable for Laundry and bleaching – as an additive to laundry powders for white and colourfast textiles, for yellowed cloths, towels or nappies. Soaking laundry – removes stains from coffee, tea, wine, grass or fruit that a regular detergent leaves in the fibres. Household cleaning products – powder cleaners for grout, drains, cutting boards, thermoses and containers with odour. Washing machine and dishwasher cleaning – an empty cycle with warm water breaks down deposits and odour in the drum and hoses. Powder dishwasher detergent – as a bleaching component in combination with soda and other powder ingredients. Use in formulation Sodium percarbonate is processed exclusively dry . It is added to powder blends as the last ingredient at a temperature of < 40 °C , when all other ingredients are mixed and thoroughly dry. Moisture in th
