Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) at 12% available chlorine — exported from Gujarat to Africa, the GCC and Asia for water disinfection, sanitation, textile bleaching and effluent treatment. Vented UN-approved packaging, IMDG Class 8, third-party COA on every shipment.
Sodium Hypochlorite is a pale greenish-yellow liquid (liquid chlorine bleach) supplied at 12% available chlorine. It is the workhorse disinfectant and bleaching agent for municipal water, sanitation, textiles and effluent treatment. Because available chlorine fades over time, we ship fresh stock with a third-party COA, GHS SDS and full IMDG documentation.

Sodium Hypochlorite is UN 1791, IMDG Class 8 (Corrosive), Packing Group II. Vented packaging and prompt, cool shipping preserve strength.
Hypochlorite slowly releases gas and loses available chlorine over time, so it ships in vented UN-approved HDPE drums or IBCs and is dispatched fresh. Each consignment carries the IMDG DG declaration, UN-marked packing certificate, GHS SDS and third-party COA, with Class 8 labelling. Keep cool, shaded and away from acids (which release chlorine gas), ammonia and metals; stow upright and avoid prolonged warm transit.

Sodium Hypochlorite is corrosive and releases chlorine gas if mixed with acid — handle with PPE and strict segregation.
SNJ Exim ships fresh Sodium Hypochlorite 12% in full-container loads from Ankleshwar, Gujarat to water, sanitation, textile and effluent buyers across three regions.
We regularly export Sodium Hypochlorite (12% available chlorine) to municipal water authorities, sanitation and hospital buyers, textile and laundry units, and effluent-treatment plants in Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Ethiopia and South Africa (Africa); the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman (GCC); and Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Vietnam (South & Southeast Asia), alongside Egypt. Stock is dispatched fresh with available chlorine certified at loading. Every container leaves Gujarat with a complete export document set — Bill of Lading, third-party COA, Certificate of Origin, GHS SDS and the IMDG dangerous-goods declaration.
