PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hypochlorous acid composition that has neither generation of chlorine gas nor reduction in disinfecting power in a weakly acidic to weakly alkaline range of easy handling and is storable for a long period of time and a method for producing the same.SOLUTION: The hypochlorous acid composition that is storable while maintaining an effective chlorine concentration in a weakly acidic to weakly alkaline region is obtained by adding a chlorate and a chloride to an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】取り扱いが容易な弱酸性~弱アルカリ性領域で、塩素ガスの発生や殺菌力の低下がなく、長期保存が可能な次亜塩素酸組成物及びその製造方法の提供。【解決手段】次亜塩素酸塩水溶液に塩素酸塩及び塩化物を添加することにより、弱酸性~弱アルカリ性領域で有効塩素濃度を維持したまま保存が可能な次亜塩素酸組成物。【選択図】図1
