USES OF SODIUM PERCARBONATE

As an oxidizing agent, sodium percarbonate is an ingredient in a number of home and laundry cleaning products, including non-chlorine bleach products such as Oxyper, OxiClean, Tide laundry detergent, and Vanish.

Many commercial products mix a percentage of sodium percarbonate with sodium carbonate. 

The average “Oxy” product in the supermarket contains 35–40% sodium percarbonate with about 5% active oxygen when titrated.

Sodium percarbonate is also used as a cleaning agent in homebrewing.

Sodium percarbonate can be used in organic synthesis as a convenient source of anhydrous H2O2, in particular in solvents that cannot dissolve the carbonate but can leach the H2O2 out of it.

A method for generating trifluoroperacetic acid in situ for use in Baeyer–Villiger oxidations from sodium percarbonate and trifluoroacetic anhydride has been reported; it provides a convenient and cheap approach to this reagent without the need to obtain highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide.

The use of sodium percarbonate as a detergent bleaching active will not have any significant impact on the aquatic organisms.

Perborate as a bleach component in heavy-duty laundry detergents is being increasingly substituted by percarbonate. 

In the wash process, sodium percarbonate does form hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate. 

Sodium carbonate is a water-soluble mineral and is ubiquitously present in the aqueous environment as there is an equilibrium with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and with other dissolved mineral carbonates. 

While Na-percarbonate expectedly displays some aquatic toxicity due to the formation of unstable hydrogen peroxide

(fish-LC50 = 71 mg/l, daphnia-EC50 = 4.9 mg/l), sodium carbonate has very low aquatic toxicity (see Section 3.2.6). Thus, the use of sodium percarbonate as a detergent bleaching active will not have any significant impact on the aquatic organisms.

Sodium percarbonate is a highly crystalline powder used for cleaning purposes. 

It is a colorless, hygroscopic, water-soluble solid which is an additional product of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Sodium percarbonate is mainly available in coated and uncoated forms, whereas it is widely being available in tablet form, especially in water treatment applications. 

It is mainly used as a detergent agent, cleaning agent, and bleaching agent in most cleaning applications. 

The use of tablet type of sodium percarbonate is growing at a moderate pace as it is comparatively easy to use in end-use applications than powder form.

As per the analysis, the global sodium percarbonate market is anticipated to witness significant growth in the coming years and reach USD 1,950 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 8.24%. Household cleaning applications holds major demand for sodium percarbonate over the years and driving global growth. 

Factors including increasing per capita income, consistently growing population, and favorable government regulations encouraging global demand. 

Furthermore, the textile industry extensively uses sodium percarbonate for bleaching purposes which is emerged as an important growth driver. 

Growing purchasing power linked with the demand for customized clothing has played a crucial role. 

On the other hand, coated type of sodium percarbonate dominated the global market and accounted for 68% global share growing at 8.27% followed by uncoated sodium percarbonate. Coated type is highly favorable among end-use industries including household cleaning, textile, and papermaking. 

Based on applications, detergent agents occupied the majority of the market and accounted for 48% global share. 

Household and industrial cleaning applications have led to the domination of this segment in 2016. 

On the basis of end-use industries household cleaning single-handedly drives global growth followed by commercial laundry. 

The household industry covered almost more than half of the market growing at a CAGR of 8.24%. 

Additionally, laundry (commercial) growing at the highest CAGR of 8.24% which is expected to progress in global shares in the coming years due to growing economic development across the major economies.
