Dissociation of chlorine in water

The effectiveness of the Hypochlorous acid as a disinfection agent is affected by the pH level of the water in the end users system. Alongside is a graph showing the pH levels where the HOCL (Hypochlorous Acid) is at its highest concentration and therefore most effective. In most applications a pH level of around 7-7.5 is most desirable.

Corrosion report

Introduction

The corrosivity of a diluted NEUTHOX solution (1:500) has been compared to normal Danish drinking water by means of an electrochemical corrosion analysis. The test is performed on the following six metals: Carbon steel (St37), stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316, brass, copper and zinc.

Results

The estimated corrosion rate (in μm/year) for each of the six metals is shown alongside. It is clear, that addition of NEUTHOX in small amounts (1:500) will not contribute to an increase in the corrosivity of drinking water.

The final conclusion is therefore that NEUTHOX in small concentrations is not corrosive to any of the examined metals.
