How Much Vanish is Needed to Achieve Bacteriostatic and Fungicidal Effects?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the necessary amount of Vanish, which contains 30% sodium percarbonate, to achieve a bacteriostatic and fungicidal effect equivalent to a 0.88 mol/l concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The user seeks clarity on the conversion from sodium percarbonate to the desired concentration for effective microbial control. A referenced PDF provides insights into sodium percarbonate's properties and its application in achieving the required concentration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical concentrations and molarity
  • Familiarity with sodium percarbonate and its properties
  • Knowledge of bacteriostatic and fungicidal agents
  • Basic chemistry skills for calculations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the molarity calculations for sodium percarbonate solutions
  • Explore the bacteriostatic and fungicidal properties of hydrogen peroxide
  • Review the referenced PDF on sodium percarbonate for detailed insights
  • Investigate alternative cleaning agents with similar properties
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, microbiologists, cleaning product formulators, and anyone involved in microbial control and disinfection strategies.

I understand hydrogen peroxide has bacteriostatic and fungacidal properties at a concentration of 0.88 mol/l however I am struggling to establish how much something like vanish containing 30% sodium percarbonate (30g per 100g of product?), would be needed to provide that concentration and therefore provide the desired impact on bacteria and fungi. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This PDF is a good read. The part discussing sodium percarbonate is probably all you need to stimulate your thoughts about how much percarbonate you will need.
