Hypo strength
« on: April 19, 2015, 07:11:36 am »
Just bought some more hypo and this time I got 15%  rather than the 10% I normally get, which for the extra £7 it cost for 20lts I think was good value as theretically it is 50% stronger.

But anyone know if you can get stronger?  It's seems a waste of space to be carrying containers of 15% if I can get stronger.

15 /16 % is as strong as it gets.
This is maximum saturation  of  mixing  (of) caustic soda, liquid chlorine, and water.

Hypo , can come in different % depending on what you are applying it for .
Dairy farms use it a lot for sterilising equipment ect at 0.5%
Military use it at 50% for blister and nerve agent contamination on PPE
As Chris mentioned for what we use it for 15% is more than adequate.
Hypo will react slower in the winter months than the summer

It bleaches out lichen ( black spots) that powerwashing doesn't remove

We have ruined all our embroidered work wear with this stuff, keep forgetting to change when doing the hypo !     Even when you use waterproofs, and take them off, it has a way of finding its way onto your clothes !

I know what you mean about work wear. Ive gone through loads of them. You need 100% polyester.

Me too, every navy pair of trousers I have are contaminated with white spots all over.
