Chlorine breakdown

[KurtV]

Larry, To my mean understanding, chlorine breakdown is a function of the initial level of chlorates in the sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) (among other things) and that chlorate level is higher in the higher strength NaOCl solutions.

The other thing that impacts it is trace metals. There are always trace metals from the manufacturing process and they catylize the breakdown and have a greater impact as concentraction of the bleach increases.
