It was originally made near the French town of Javelle (now part of Paris) and was the first chemical bleach, a use first demonstrated by C. L. Berthollet in 1785. It was produced by passing chlorine gas through a water solution of potash (potassium carbonatepotassium carbonate,chemical compound, K2CO3, white, crystalline, deliquescent substance that forms a strongly alkaline water solution.

Javelle water has a bleaching effect. The name “Javelle water” was originally applied in 1789 to the bleaching fluid made in a chemical works in the Paris suburb of Javelle; it was made by passing chlorine into a cold solution of potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate: 2KOH + CI2 = 2KCIO + H2O or K2CO3 + CI2 = KCIO + KCI + CO2 In 1822 the French pharmacist A. J. Labarraque (1777–1850), by treating a sodium carbonate solution (Na2CO3) with chlorine, prepared a bleaching fluid (Labarraque’s solution) that completely replaced Javelle water and was less costly to prepare. In the course of time, the name “Javelle water” was transferred to Labarraque’s solution, which, along with chlorinated lime, is used extensively for bleaching in the paper and textile industries.
