Safely Storing Sodium Hypochlorite

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation not only destroys light sensitive chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) it also has the potential to significantly degrade the structural integrity of the storage tank containing the light sensitive chemical.

In the past, most polyethylene tank manufacturers have promoted either black pigment or natural translucent polyethylene for sodium hypochlorite applications. While a black tank can block UV rays it also absorbs sunlight which can heat the tank to a level that harms both the tank and the chemicals it contains.

Solving Bleach Transfer Problems

A highly corrosive and toxic chemical with strong disinfecting properties, Sodium Hypochlorite plays an ever increasing role in many industries. However, its corrosive nature and tendency to release tiny gas bubbles that can permeate non-metallic pumps poses a major challenge to conventional pumping techniques. Iwaki has over 50 years of experience successfully pumping Sodium Hypochlorite and many other aggressive chemicals.

Simplified Level Measurement Solution

Machined tools are essential to almost every industry including manufacturing, defense, mining, and oil drilling. The process of machining tools has increased in efficiency and output through advances in technology. However, as tools become faster they generate heat from friction between the tool and the raw material or scrap.
