POWERSOFT UP 70 LV, NaOCl, is an air-unstable,pale green crystalline solid that is soluble in cold water, decomposes in hot water, and has a sweet aroma.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV generally is available in one of two strengths.
The household liquid bleach contains about 5.25 wt% NaCIO.
The commercial product(sometimes called 15% bleach) contains 150g/L available chlorine.
This is equivalent to about 13 wt% sodium hypochlorite.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is used as a bleaching agent for paper pulp and textiles, as an oxidizing reagent, as a disinfectant, as a chemical intermediate,and in medicines.
The hypochlorite ion (OCI-) is similar to wet chlorine gas in its effects on materials. Not many metals exhibit good resistance even at low temperatures and concentrations.
Because hypochlorite solutions are unstable at neutral and lower pHs,they normally contain excess alkali,which modifies the aggressiveness somewhat.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is a nonionic micro emulsion concentrate of a reactive modified aminofunctional polydimethylsiloxane for use in non-yellowing and hydrophilic textile finishing.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV works by reducing surface and interfacial tension, which improves the wetting of solid surfaces and the dispersion of insoluble materials in water based systems.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV helps oils, soils, or particulate matter become uniformly distributed within a formulation or removed from surfaces during cleaning.
This mechanism makes it effective in formulations requiring rapid wetting and consistent performance at low use levels.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is often selected for applications where low viscosity and good flow properties are important.
It performs well in automated dosing systems and continuous processing environments.
This characteristic supports reliable and reproducible manufacturing operations.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV shows good compatibility with a wide range of other surfactants, builders, solvents, and functional additives.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV can be blended into complex formulations without causing instability or phase separation.
This flexibility allows formulators to tailor performance according to specific cleaning or processing requirements.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is particularly suitable in softener formulations for the impregnation of fibers and textiles.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV imparts a soft, drapable and elastic touch to woven and knitted fabrics.
In comparison to usual silicone-based, medium hydrophilic softeners POWERSOFT UP 70 LV shows excellent stability in the presence of salt and resins, even under high shearing conditions.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is readily dilutable with cold water to any desired concentration. Dilutions of the product are resistant to alkaline conditions up to pH 10.
Furthermore POWERSOFT UP 70 LV can be used in direct combination with many optical brighteners due to its good compatibility with such compounds.
However, the compatibility should be tested on a case-by-case basis.
In contrast to many conventional silicone softeners, POWERSOFT UP 70 LV does not turn cotton and other hydrophilic substrates hydrophobic.
Cotton treated with POWERSOFT UP 70 LV shows good hydrophilicity which offers advantages if overdyeing of the fabric is required.
When applied under normal conditions as part of a softener formulation, POWERSOFT UP 70 LV has no effect on the whiteness degree.

POWERSOFT UP 70 LV anhydrous sodium hypochlorite explodes; the pentahydrate is a pale-green crystalline solid; orthorhombic structure; density 1.6 g/cm3; melts at 18°C; decomposed by CO2 in the air; soluble in water, 29.3 g/100 mL at 0°C; the aqueous solution is highly stable.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV exists as an aqueous solution from 5 15% NaOCl and is commonly called bleach. Household bleach is typically a 5.25% solution, and industrial bleach is sold as a 12% solution.
When sodium hypochlorite is used in this entry, it is assumed to be the aqueous solution, which is clear, slightly yellow, corrosive, and has a distinctive chlorine smell.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV gas was discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742 1786) in 1774 and known initially as depholgisticated salt spirit.
In 1787, the French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet (1749 1822) experimented with aqueous solution of chlorine gas as bleaching agents.
Based on Berthollet's work, the Javel Company located on the outskirts of Paris began to produce bleaches in 1788.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV gas was dissolved in a solution of soda potash (potassium carbonate) to obtain a product called liqueur de Javel, which was potassium hypochlorite.
Potash treated with chlorine gas was also used to produce bleaching powders.
In 1820, Antoine Germaine Labarraque (1777 1850), an apothecary, substituted cheaper soda ash (sodium carbonate) for potash to produce Eau de Labarraque or Labarraque solution, which was sodium hypochlorite.
Eau de Labarraque was used as a disinfectant and to bleach paper.
Bleaching powders, borax, lye, and blueing were used as bleaches throughout the 19th century.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is the primary hypochlorite used as a bleach and disinfectant, accounting for 83% of world hypochlorite use, with calcium hypochlorite accounting for the remaining 17%.
Approximately 1 million tons of sodium hypochlorite was used globally in 2005, with about half this amount used in households for laundry bleaching and disinfection.
The other half was used primarily for wastewater and drinking water treatment; other uses include pool sanitation, bleaching of pulp, paper, and textiles, and as an industrial chemical.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV solution is obtained by passing chlorine into sodium hydroxide solution.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV, commonly known as bleach, may be used as a disinfectant solution.
POWERSOFT UP 70 LV is a strong irritant; however, isolated reports of CoU to sodium hypochlorite exist.
The mechanism for the Cou is uncertain.
Hostynek et al. describe a 36-year-old woman who developed an intensely pruritic maculopapular rash to a hypochlorite-containing cleaning product that she spilled on her leg.
The rash progressed to involve her trunk and extremities and was associated with teary eyes, dyspnea, and facial edema.
There was a history of a previous sensitizing event, and open testing to 1% sodium hypochlorite produced an immediate urticarial reaction.
The authors suggest that this could be due to an immunological mechanism given the generalized symptoms; however, no confirmatory testing was performed and the potential of sodium hypochlorite to cause nonimmunologic Cou was evident with four of 10 controls experiencing a wheal-and-flare reaction to open application of 6% sodium hypochlorite.
Caliskan et al. described a 32-year-old female who developed severe lip edema and breathing difficulty after using a sodium hypochlorite irrigation during endodontic treatment.
A scratch test to sodium hypochlorite resulted in immediate erythema and edema that began to extend up the patient’s arm.
She also had a history of breathing difficulties and had developed dermatitis from her hands to elbows with the use of household cleaning agents.
Neering reported on a patient who had experienced intermittent Cou to chlorinated pools and contact with a cleansing agent containing sodium hypochlorite.
A scratch test to chlorinated water was strongly positive in this patient, but negative in five controls, and closed patch testing to sodium hypochlorite was strongly positive at three hours.
