Calcium hypochlorite 70% granules

Calcium hypochlorite 70% granule is a chemical used primarily as a disinfectant and bleaching agent in a variety of applications, including drinking water treatment, swimming pool treatment, pulp bleaching and other industrial uses. The chemical formula of calcium hypochlorite is, which means that a calcium hypochlorite molecule contains one calcium atom (Ca), two chlorine atoms (Cl) and two oxygen atoms (O).

Calcium hypochlorite is a white or slightly yellowish solid, and is generally sold in granular or powder form. The concentration of 70% indicates the proportion of the active ingredient (calcium hypochlorite) in the product, with the remainder usually made up of excipients or stabilizers to ensure its chemical stability.

Uses :

• Water disinfection: Calcium hypochlorite is used to disinfect drinking water, swimming pools, spas and other water sources. It kills bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic micro-organisms, making it an effective disinfectant.
• Industrial water treatment: It is used in a variety of industries, including the food and chemical industries, to treat water used in manufacturing processes.
• Bleaching: Calcium hypochlorite is used as a bleaching agent in the paper and printing industries.
• Bleaching : Calcium hypochlorite is used as a bleaching agent in the paper and pulp industry, as well as in textile and fiber processing to remove unwanted dyes.
• Surface disinfection: Used to disinfect surfaces in hospitals, schools and other environments where regular disinfection is required.
• Sanitizing sewage systems: Used to disinfect sewage systems and wastewater treatment plants.

Properties :

• Disinfectant : Calcium hypochlorite is a powerful disinfectant capable of killing a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms.
• Bleaching agent: Effective in removing dyes and stains from various surfaces.
• Reaction with water: When dissolved in water, calcium hypochlorite breaks down into hypochlorite ions (ClO-) and calcium ions (Ca²⁺), releasing active chlorine which is responsible for its disinfectant activity.
• Stability: It is relatively stable when properly stored under appropriate conditions, but can degrade over time, especially when exposed to heat and light.
