Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition Software

The Powell Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition Program generates graphs and tables illustrating the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite based on the user's selected temperature, starting weight, and bleach quality.

The user can automatically generate tables and graphs depicting the decomposition of sodium hypochlorite over time (between 1 and 360 days) for up to four various scenarios based on the selected temperatures, starting weights, and quality of bleach (filtered or non-filtered).

The Powell Sodium Hypochlorite Decomposition Program is available for free.
