Widely used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent, this chemical is essential in water treatment to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in drinking water and swimming pools. It is also commonly used in household and industrial cleaning products due to its strong oxidizing properties, effectively removing stains and sanitizing surfaces. In healthcare settings, it serves as a surface disinfectant for equipment and contaminated areas. Additionally, it plays a role in odor control and wastewater treatment by breaking down organic contaminants. Its standardized concentration ensures reliable and consistent performance in analytical applications, such as titrations for determining oxidizing agent content.
