What is the strength of the chemicals that Kuehne sells?

Because of our exacting production standards, we can deliver at any strength between 1% trade and 30% trade. Caustic soda can be delivered at various strengths and grades. If your strength is not listed on our specification page, please call our sales department at 1-973-589-0700.
Are liquid chlorine and bleach the same thing?
No. Chlorine is an element and can be in a liquid or a gas form. Bleach is the resultant solution from reacting chlorine with caustic soda solution.
What is meant by 15% bleach?
The concentration of a bleach solution is expressed as a measure of available chlorine, which reflects its bleaching power. There are several ways to express available chlorine. The most common is trade percent. Trade percent is based on a chemical analysis of the solution and is expressed as grams of available chlorine. This is expressed in grams per liter. Therefore 150 grams per liter of available chlorine is equivalent to a 15% trade bleach solution.
