High Test Hypochlorite (HTH)


Explanation:
Je ne vois rien d'explosif dans ce produit pour cheveux et un gel de graduation 7. Serais-je complètement "à côté de la plaque" ?

HTH (high test hypochlorite)- hypochlorite de calcium


Explanation:
"they use HTH to chlorinate their wells. It is common for these wells to have a layer of oil on top of the water. Mixing chlorine and oil can have explosive repercussions, so if a granulated or pellet form of chlorine is used for chlorination, mix it with a suitable amount of water before pouring into the well.
"

"Puisqu’il n’y avait pas de sources d’inflammation communes, l’enquête initiale a relevé la probabilité d’une combustion spontanée provoquée par une réaction chimique. Cette hypothèse était renforcée par le fait que le SPEOI utilise de l’hypochlorite de calcium, un agent oxydant très puissant qui présente un risque d’incendie et d’explosion sérieux, "

Pour 'score 7' je vois plusieurs possibilités mais rien de concluant : soit classe7 qui veut dire radio-actif soit ceci :
"7 ....Component base contains an inorganic explosive or inorganic
thermic salt"

Je suppose que 'hair gel' est simplement une description visuelle pour 'gel' ?
