Sodium Hypochlorite

Recently purchased 500 gallons of 12% Sodium Hypochlorite from a local vendor. Now, I'm no scientist, but shouldn't it smell like bleach and act like bleach?????

There's almost no 'bleach' smell and 5 minutes after dipping a blue towel into it, the towel is still blue! Thought maybe it was dyed with one of those colorfast dyes, so I used regular Clorox concentrate and less than a minute later it was white.

So, I'm thinking I didn't get what I paid for. Now, the MSDS states that its Sodium Hypochlorite 9-13%, but shouldn't it still bleach out the towel?!?!?!

Seems suspicious so I understand your concern. Have you contacted the vendor yet? If it is SH it may be very old. Do you have a pool by chance? You could use a pool testing kit to at least determine if there's a chlorine reading when the SH is mixed in water. This won't give you SH concentration levels but will at least let you know if there's anything active in the barrel. I believe Taylor makes a kit which will test SH concentrations for bulk batches.
