General description

Efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution as endodontic irrigant has been tested.[1] It has been proposed as tissue solvent. Effect of time and storage conditions on tissue-dissolving capacity of various concentrations of NaOCl have been evaluated.[2] [3]
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product is considered as an environmentally benign oxidant and has been enhanced for "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries". Click here for more information.

Application

Sodium hypochlorite is an oxidant used with catalytic TEMPO for oxidation of alcohols. It is generally used in the synthesis of sodium 3,3′-bis(sulfonato)-4,4′-bis(acetamido)azobenzene.[4]

Questions

1–8 of 8 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/449/386/product-dating-information-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  6. How is available chlorine tested?

    1 answer

    1. To analyze for available chlorine, a sample of sodium hypochlorite is added to a solution of potassium iodide in the presence of acid to liberate iodine.  The liberated iodine is titrated with standardized sodium thiosulfate.

  8. What is the definition of available chlorine?

    1 answer

    1. Available chlorine is a measure of the bleaching power of a substance. Available chlorine is defined as chlorine capable of releasing an equivalent amount of atomic oxygen according to the following reaction equations.Cl2 + 2OH- --> OCl- + Cl- + H2O  (eqn. 1) HOCl --> HCl + ½ O2  (eqn. 2)
