Bleach Hdpe
Not recommended for continuous use.
Bleach hdpe. If you wish to reuse a high density polyethylene bottle it must first be cleaned. B good minor effect slight corrosion or discoloration. Hdpe chemical resistance guide legend. Soap and water is all that is need to clean and reuse the bottles.
Hdpe and ldpe at 20c show some effect after 7 days. Prices range from 300 to 150 000. Ldpe at 50c shows damage and is not recommended. Uv can degrade sodium hypochlorite so special precautions must be taken to reduce this effect.
At 50c immediate damage may occur. Softening loss of strength. However preliminary tests showed that chemical interaction between hdpe and bleach occurring within six month of exposure to the product has a negligible effect on the materialâ s mechanical properties. Sodium hypochlorite storage tanks are manufactured from hdpe xlpe and frp materials at 1 9 specific gravity.
C fair moderate effect not recommended for continuous use. Therefore in this work esc was investigated independently and only the results obtained from fracture tests are reported. Chlorine 10 in water hdpe and ldpe at 20c shows little or no damage after 30 days. Polypropylene is almost as resistant as polyethylene but with a few specific chemicals it offers superior resistance.
Satisfactory to 72 f 22 c 2. I presume you re talking about common household bleach like clorox brand which is a sodium hypochlorite solution as opposed to household oxygen bleaches sometimes dubiously referred to as color safe bleaches or the many commercial bleaches. Sodium hypochlorite bleach is used in a variety of applications particularly in disinfecting drinking water and wastewater.

When storing this chemical three factors must be considered. High density polyethylene abbreviated as hdpe is a type of plastic commonly used to make milk jugs laundry detergent containers soda bottles and floating water tanks. Bleach is best stored out of direct sunlight at temperatures below 60 f filtered and diluted with ph kept above 10. S satisfactory o some attack u unsatisfactory.
Satisfactory to 120 f 48 c ratings chemical effect a excellent. Tank capacities range from 35 to 100 000 gallons. It can also be autoclaved and is better for use. Secondary containment is required.
