According to the company’s Public Relations Office, the launch followed the receipt of a health establishment and operation license, an IRC registry code from the Food and Drug Administration, and mandatory standard certification from the National Standards Organization of Iran.

Sodium hypochlorite, a strong oxidizing and disinfecting agent, is widely used across strategic industries. In water and wastewater treatment, it serves as a safe and effective substitute for chlorine, efficiently eliminating microorganisms and disinfecting pipelines and storage tanks.

The compound also plays a vital role in textile industries for bleaching fibers and fabrics, in paper production for pulp whitening, and in the petrochemical sector as an oxidizing agent for refining petroleum products and disinfecting equipment and process lines. Additionally, it helps control algae and shell growth in cooling towers, safeguarding efficiency and preventing production disruptions.

In healthcare, sodium hypochlorite is applied for disinfecting surfaces and medical equipment in hospitals, while in the food industry it sanitizes production lines and processing facilities. Swimming pools also rely on the chemical for water disinfection and odor control.

The company emphasized that supplying sodium hypochlorite via the Mercantile Exchange enhances transparency in distribution and pricing, while guaranteeing downstream industries access to a reliable and standardized source of the chemical.
