FAQ’S
What is Sodium percarbonate?
Sodium percarbonate is a white, crystalline powder used as a bleaching agent, stain remover, and disinfectant, formed by combining sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide.
How does Sodium percarbonate works?
Sodium percarbonate, when dissolved in water breaks down into sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. The released hydrogen peroxide acts as a bleaching agent and disinfectant, oxidizing stains and dirt. Finally, Hydrogen peroxide then decomposes into oxygen and water.
What are the uses of Sodium percarbonate?
Sodium percarbonate is excellent for removing stains and brightening colors in laundry, especially when used as a presoak or in conjunction with laundry detergent. It can be used for general cleaning tasks, including cleaning toilets, garbage disposals, and even removing mold and mildew. It serves as a convenient source of anhydrous hydrogen peroxide in organic synthesis, especially in solvents that cannot dissolve the carbonate but can leach the H2O2.
