General Description
Calcium Hypochlorite is a high strength inorganic chlorine compound widely used for disinfection, bleaching, and oxidation applications. Supplied as a free flowing white to off white granular or powder material, it provides a stable and concentrated source of available chlorine, making it suitable for both municipal and industrial treatment systems.
Known for its strong oxidizing capability and long shelf life, Calcium Hypochlorite is preferred in water treatment, sanitation, and process hygiene applications where reliability, fast action, and controlled chlorine release are essential. It is commonly used as a solid alternative to liquid chlorine in applications requiring safer handling and easier transportation.
