Do not mix butyl based products with sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or other

oxidizers. Bleach is an oxidizer and butyl is a solvent. Mixing solvents with

oxidizers has to potential to generate heat and possible polymerization.

2-Butoxyethanol (Butyl Cellusolve), Butyl Acetate (Ethylene glycol, Glycol ether

EB), d-limonene (citric acid) are the most common. All are solvents and most are

flammable, combustible and toxic. Solvents are chemicals that break down other

chemicals which make them good for degreasers, paint thinners, inks, etc.

Sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, sodium percarbonate, etc are oxidizers.

Oxidizers change compounds from one thing to another, not dissolve it all

together. Bleach doesn't dissolve mildew, it rearranges its molecules essentially

killing it.

So when you mix butyl and bleach and apply it to a substrate, you then have one

chemical (butyl) trying to dissolve the dirt and everything else it comes into

contact with including the other chemical while the bleach is trying to do the

opposite, you set up the possibility for a chemical reaction. It's not likely anything

will happen other than maybe generate some heat and eventually may gel making

it unusable, except with acetate which could combust.

Mixing sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite is OK because they are both

oxidizers and both alkaline which means they are both trying to achieve the same

result.
