What is Explosive Salt? The difference between bleaching powder and Explosive Salt

Explosive salt: The main active ingredient is sodium percarbonate, commonly known as solid hydrogen peroxide, also known as sodium peroxycarbonate, which is an inorganic salt. Color bleaching powder: It is a compound product of peroxide oxidant, known as solid hydrogen peroxide. Color bleaching powder is gentle on fabric bleaching and generally does not damage fabrics. It can make white or colored fabrics brighter after bleaching. So what are the specific uses of explosive salt? The following is a detailed sharing for you.

What is explosive salt?

Explosive salt, the main active ingredient is sodium percarbonate, commonly known as solid hydrogen peroxide, which is an inorganic salt. It is in the form of white granular powder, and its aqueous solution is alkaline and can be decomposed into sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. It is usually used as an auxiliary agent for laundry detergent and has the effect of aerobic bleaching. Explosive salt can remove stubborn stains: tea stains, coffee stains, fruit stains, urine stains, cola stains, red wine stains, chocolate stains.

The difference between color bleaching powder and explosive salt

The difference between color bleaching powder and explosive salt is the different ingredients. Explosive salt: The main active ingredient is sodium percarbonate, chemical formula 2Na2CO3·3H2O2, commonly known as solid hydrogen peroxide, also known as sodium peroxycarbonate, is an inorganic salt. Color bleaching powder: It is a compound product of peroxide oxidant, known as solid hydrogen peroxide. The main ingredients are sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate, sodium silicate and other added ingredients.

Color bleaching powder is also known as oxygen bleaching agent. Oxygen bleaching powder is gentle on fabric bleaching and generally does not damage fabrics. It can make white or colored fabrics brighter after bleaching. Commonly used oxygen-containing bleaches are mainly hydrogen peroxide and color bleaching powder, which have good bleaching and sterilization effects. Oxygen bleaching produces bleaching effects by releasing active oxygen through perhydroxyl ions in aqueous solution. At room temperature, its bleaching speed is relatively slow. In order to increase the washing rate, bleaching is generally carried out under high temperature conditions, which not only increases the bleaching speed, but also increases the detergency and whiteness of the fabric.

How to use explosive salt

1. Take two bags of explosive salt and dissolve them completely in hot water at 80 to 100 degrees.

2. If the water temperature is too high, add a little cold water, just enough to cover the clothes.

3. It is best to soak one piece of clothing at a time to prevent the clothes from fading or getting stained.

4. If multiple pieces of clothing are soaked together, they are prone to wrinkles. The clothing cannot be fully stretched and soaked in the solution, which reduces the soaking effect.

5. After the local stains disappear, wash as usual. For stubborn stains, you can increase the amount of detergent and soak for a longer time. Or add detergent and scrub.

6. Explosive salt is not suitable for cleaning clothes with color, dyeing, ink, pen stains, colored pens, rust stains, motor oil, etc. It is not suitable for leather, silk, pure wool, genuine leather, suede and other clothes.
