At its core, this product relies on (typically around 4.6% concentration), a compound discovered by French chemist Claude Louis Berthollet in 1785. It works through oxidation , a process that physically breaks down the molecular structure of bacteria and viruses to kill 99.9% of germs. The "thick" consistency is achieved by adding anionic surfactants , which allow the liquid to cling to vertical surfaces like toilet bowls for a longer, more effective "contact time". Critical Safety Warnings
: Never mix this product with other cleaning agents, especially acids , as it will release toxic chlorine gas.
Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects (H400, H411) Chemical Reaction Hazard: Contact with acids liberates toxic chlorine gas (EUH206) 3. First Aid Measures Exposure Type Action to Take Inhalation
