Section 10: Stability and Reactivity Data
Stability: The product is stable.
Instability Temperature: Not available.
Conditions of Instability: Incompatible materials. light, air, heat
Incompatibility with various substances: Reactive with reducing agents, combustible materials, organic materials, metals,
acids.
Corrosivity:
Extremely corrosive in presence of aluminum. Corrosive in presence of stainless steel(304), of stainless steel(316). Non-
corrosive in presence of glass.
Special Remarks on Reactivity:
Decomposed by carbon dioxide from air. Slowly decomposes on contact with air. Unstable in air unless mixed with sodium
hydroxide. Incompatible with ammonium acetate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium oxalate, and
ammonium phosphate. Decompostion of sodium hypochlorite takes place within a few seconds with these salts. Also
incompatible with primary amines, phenyl acetonitrile, ethyleneimine, methanol, acidified benzyl cyanide, formic acid,
urea, nitro compounds, methylscellulose, celloluse, aziridine, ether, ammonia. Mixing this product with chemicals (e.g.
ammonia, acids, detergents, etc.) or organic matter (e.g. urine, feces, etc.) will release chlorine gas. Chloramine gas may be
evolved when ammonia and bleach are mixed. Decomposed by hot water. Sensitive to light. Exposure to light accelerates
decompositon.
Special Remarks on Corrosivity:
Sodium Hypochlorite is extremely corrosive to brass, and moderately corrosive to bronze. There is no corrosivity information
for copper.
Polymerization: Will not occur.
