Product Description
Sodium Percarbonate is a white, odorless, crystalline, and hygroscopic solid that is highly soluble in water (up to 150 g/L at 20°C). When dissolved, it releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate, providing powerful oxidizing and alkaline cleaning action. It is non-corrosive to most materials in dry form but can be irritating and corrosive to skin and mucous membranes when wet. Sodium percarbonate is stable under dry, cool conditions and is valued for its eco-friendly, chlorine-free bleaching and cleaning properties.

Application Sectors and Industries of Sodium Percarbonate
Household and Industrial Cleaning
Sodium percarbonate is a key ingredient in eco-friendly laundry detergents, all-fabric bleaches, and multi-purpose cleaning powders. It provides effective stain removal, deodorizing, and whitening without the use of chlorine.
Textile Industry
Used as a bleaching agent for cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers, sodium percarbonate ensures bright, residue-free fabrics and is compatible with dyeing processes.
Pulp and Paper Industry
Acts as a bleaching and brightening agent for pulp, recycled paper, and tissue products. Its use results in high whiteness and minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional chlorine-based bleaches.
Water Treatment
Applied for odor control, algae removal, and disinfection in municipal and industrial water systems. It releases active oxygen, breaking down organic contaminants and improving water quality.
Agriculture and Aquaculture
Used for soil remediation, crop protection, and water treatment in aquaculture systems. Its oxygen-releasing properties help control pathogens, break down organic matter, and promote healthy growth environments.
Food Processing
Employed as a cleaning and sanitizing agent for food contact surfaces, equipment, and packaging. Its residue breaks down into safe, environmentally benign byproducts.
Personal Care and Oral Hygiene
Included in denture cleaners, tooth whitening products, and effervescent tablets for its gentle bleaching and deodorizing effects.
Chemical Manufacturing
Used as a laboratory source of hydrogen peroxide and as an oxidizing agent in specialty chemical synthesis, plating, and surface treatment applications.
Carpet and Fabric Cleaning
Provides deep cleaning and stain removal for carpets, upholstery, and curtains, leaving fabrics brighter and odor-free.
Environmental Remediation
Applied in soil and groundwater remediation projects to break down organic pollutants and enhance aerobic biodegradation.
