Hypochlorous acid, sodium salt, pentahydrate (CAT: M123121) is a hydrated form of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), widely used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and oxidizer. In its pentahydrate form, it contains five water molecules for every sodium hypochlorite unit. It is highly effective in killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it useful in water treatment, surface disinfection, and household cleaning products. Sodium hypochlorite also plays a role in industrial bleaching processes, particularly in paper and textile production. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, it must be handled with care, as it can cause irritation and react with other chemicals.
