In summary, the conversation is about someone wanting to create a similar product to RMR 86, a cleaning solution that contains UltraPure Sodium Hypochlorite. They are looking for help in figuring out the amounts of powder ingredients needed to mix with water to create the solution. The documents mention several ingredients including Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Silicate, and Lauramine Oxide, while the bottle mentions Sodium Hypochlorite, a surfactant mixture, and inert ingredients. The solution also contains water.

Documents mention...

Hybrid Ultrapure Sodium Hypochlorite 5-10%
Sodium Carbonate 1-3%
Sodium Hydroxide 1%
Sodium Silicate ?
Lauramine Oxide ?

Bottle mentions...

Sodium Hypochlorite 8%
Surfactant Mixture 8%
Inert Ingrediants 10%
Other Ingrediants 75 % Water

Thanks,
Daniel

Why not just buy some bleach cleaning solution? Because that is what the solution is.

What are the main active ingredients in RMR-86?

RMR-86 primarily contains Sodium Hypochlorite and Sodium Hydroxide. Sodium Hypochlorite acts as the main cleaning agent with its strong bleaching and disinfecting properties, while Sodium Hydroxide is used to adjust the pH and enhance the effectiveness of the Sodium Hypochlorite.

Can I replicate RMR-86 at home?

While it is possible to mix Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) and Sodium Hydroxide (lye) to create a similar product, it is strongly advised against doing so without proper chemical knowledge and safety measures. Incorrect proportions and handling can be extremely dangerous.

What safety precautions should I take when handling chemicals similar to those in RMR-86?

When handling chemicals like Sodium Hypochlorite and Sodium Hydroxide, it is crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator. Ensure good ventilation, avoid mixing with other chemicals unless certain of the reaction, and store chemicals securely.

Is there an eco-friendly alternative to RMR-86?

For those seeking a more environmentally friendly option, products containing hydrogen peroxide or citric acid can be effective alternatives. These substances are less harmful to the environment but might not be as immediately effective on tough mold and mildew stains as RMR-86.

How does RMR-86 compare to other mold and mildew removers in terms of effectiveness?

RMR-86 is often favored for its fast-acting formula, capable of removing mold and mildew stains without scrubbing. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on the surface and the extent of the mold growth compared to other products that might require more time or physical effort but are less harsh chemically.
