How RXSOL 3935 Works
RXSOL 3935 uses sodium hypochlorite chemistry to provide available chlorine in aqueous systems.
Depending on pH, available chlorine exists primarily as hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion. Hypochlorous acid is an effective antimicrobial species that can oxidize and disrupt essential cellular components of microorganisms.
This oxidation mechanism helps control microorganisms in properly managed industrial water-treatment systems.

Practical alternative to gaseous chlorine in appropriate applications
RXSOL 3935 for Cooling Towers
Cooling towers and recirculating cooling-water systems can provide favorable conditions for microbiological growth.
If uncontrolled, microorganisms may contribute to biofilm, slime, biological deposits, fouling, and under-deposit corrosion.
RXSOL 3935 can be used as part of an integrated cooling-water treatment program designed around system conditions, microbiological monitoring, water chemistry, and the required oxidant residual.
RXSOL 3935 for RO Pretreatment
RO membrane systems require effective pretreatment to minimize fouling and maintain membrane performance.
Where sodium hypochlorite is used for microbiological control before RO, the residual free chlorine must be controlled because polyamide RO membranes can be damaged by oxidizing agents.
A suitable dechlorination stage should be incorporated where required, and residual chlorine should be monitored before the water enters the RO membranes.
