hahaha.. be careful with that dihydro, Matt. Its only safe between a narrow band of temperatures.

It MAY be possible to get the calcium hypochlorite to work, if the scale problem can be solved. It might be worth some more development work. The stuff sure is easy to carry around with you, and easy to get. Perhaps if followed with a mild acid/water rinse, it can be used successfully ?
Calcium Hypochlorite has the advantage it has no Sodium (salt) and is easier on plants.

They say it can work, if they get it the guys will love it for sure.

Diesle fuel with an ignition source for heat to alter the temperature of the rest of the ingredients. Then (you can get these at select chemical companies) add one part oxygen and two parts hydrogen in equal amounts up to a total of 50 gallons. If you need more base solution to mix up the powder, I would suggest repeating the process.

Be carefull when mixing that stuff up. Use a non-sparking, not-electrical stirring tool. Hydrogen is explosive and oxygen is an accelerant. Then when the stuff is mixed, caution is still needed. Dihydrogen monoxide will dissolve steel!

Doug says they have been able to augment the regular roof cleaning mix with it successfully, before the scale forms. I suggest those who want to make a powdered bleach product commercially might want to look into chlorinated TSP as a possible ingredient.
This is basically calcium hypochlorite, with a TSP overlay. My health has not been very good lately, so I haven't tried it yet.
But the added TSP in theory will make the calcium hypochlorite clean more better, possibly allowing less total concentration for the bleach powder, less chance of scale formation.

You know Ron, here in Florida, SH is plentiful, and we take it for granted. But many don't realize our roof cleaning brothers outside of Florida do not have a SH supply station on every corner. I predict that whoever solves the riddle of the bleach powder will be financially rewarded. That is, until someone copies him, LOL

I haven't used the augment method, but I have talked to guys that have and said it works great. Just seems like an added step to me that is not needed. Thats the other thing I didnt like about the Powder, is all the work it takes to keep it suspended.

Thanks for the info Doug and Russ, We were looking at ordering a bunch of it. Did anyone try mixing it in warm dihydrogen monoxide first?

It still leaves scale Matt, we never use it for roof cleaning in tampa

It's got Calcium in it, therefore your going to the haze, or (scale).
