What properties does sodium percarbonate have?

The particular significance of sodium percarbonate lies in its ability to release active oxygen.

As a result, the compound offers several advantages:

• strong oxidizing effect
• effective stain removal
• bleaching properties
• versatile industrial applications
• chlorine-free alternative for numerous processes

These properties make sodium percarbonate a sought-after raw material in many production areas.

Sodium percarbonate in cleaning agents

One of the best-known areas of application is the production of cleaning agents.

As an oxygen source, sodium percarbonate supports the removal of:

• organic soiling
• Stains
• Odors
• Deposits

Therefore, it is often used in powdered laundry detergents and cleaning agents.

The compound is especially valued where powerful cleaning is to be combined with modern, chlorine-free formulations.

Application in the textile industry

In the textile industry, sodium percarbonate is used as a bleaching agent.

By releasing oxygen, discoloration and stains can be removed without the need for aggressive chlorine-containing bleaches.

Typical areas of application are:

• Pretreatment of textiles
• industrial washing processes
• Stain removal
• Whitening of fabrics

The original quality of the materials is largely preserved.

Use in the paper industry

Sodium percarbonate is also used in paper production.

Here, the oxidizing effect supports various bleaching processes in the production of bright pulp masses.

Compared to some traditional methods, sodium percarbonate can represent an interesting alternative, as no elemental chlorine is used.

As a result, the compound is valued as a modern solution in certain industrial applications.

Use in agriculture 

In agriculture, sodium percarbonate is used, among other things, in the area of plant protection.

The compound is used, for example:

• to support hygiene measures
• in certain disinfection applications
• in professional plant protection concepts

The release of active oxygen makes sodium percarbonate interesting for various agricultural applications.

Other industrial applications

In addition to the areas already mentioned, sodium percarbonate is used in other industries.

Cosmetics industry

In the cosmetics industry, the compound is used, among other things, in the production of certain dental care products.

Pharmaceutical industry

In pharmaceutical production processes, sodium percarbonate is sometimes used as an auxiliary substance or disinfection component.

Chemical industry
