Title: Hypo strength
Post by: Mike Halliday on April 19, 2015, 07:11:36 am: Just bought some more hypo and this time I got 15% rather than the 10% I normally get, which for the extra £7 it cost for 20lts I think was good value as theretically it is 50% stronger.

But anyone know if you can get stronger? It's seems a waste of space to be carrying containers of 15% if I can get stronger.

This is maximum saturation of mixing (of) caustic soda, liquid chlorine, and water.

Dairy farms use it a lot for sterilising equipment ect at 0.5%
Military use it at 50% for blister and nerve agent contamination on PPE
As Chris mentioned for what we use it for 15% is more than adequate.
Hypo will react slower in the winter months than the summer
