Types of Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium Hypochlorite Benefits
- High Active Chlorine (65% & 70%): High available chlorine means lower dosage requirements and significantly reduced treatment costs per unit compared to bleaching powder.
- Superior Stability (Sodium Process): Manufactured via the advanced Sodium Process for uniform quality and minimal degradation.
- Multi-Industry Versatility: A powerful disinfectant for swimming pools, water purification, and aquaculture. It also serves as a vital leaching agent in gold mining and a biocide for industrial cooling towers.
- Rapid Solubility & Low Residue: Engineered for fast dissolution with minimal sediment.
What is Calcium Hypochlorite Used for
- For water disinfection: Widely used for disinfecting drinking water and killing harmful bacteria.
- In swimming pools: It is a commonly used and effective bleaching agent for disinfecting swimming pool water.
- For wastewater treatment: It helps disinfect industrial and municipal wastewater before safe discharge.
- In sanitation: It is used to disinfect surfaces and equipment in hospitals, food processing plants, and public places.
- As a bleaching agent: It is used as a powerful bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries.
FAQ of Calcium Hypochlorite
While both provide chlorine for disinfection, they differ in form and strength:
Household Bleach: Is Sodium Hypochlorite, a liquid usually containing 5% to 10% available chlorine.
Calcium Hypochlorite: Is a solid (granular, tablet or powder) containing much higher concentrations, typically 65% to 70% available chlorine.
The Advantage: Because it is a solid, it has a longer shelf life and is much more cost-effective to ship internationally compared to heavy liquid bleach.
Yes, it is hazardous. It is corrosive and can cause severe skin burns or eye damage.
Yes, it is the most popular “shock” treatment on the market. Because of its high chlorine content (70%), it rapidly raises the “Free Chlorine” levels in a pool to kill off organic contaminants and algae blooms quickly.
Our Calcium Hypochlorite is typically supplied in 20kg, 40kg, 45kg, and 50kg drums, available in both Euro-style and U.S.-style configurations to meet regional requirements.
For safe storage, keep Calcium Hypochlorite in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from organic materials, acids, heat sources, and direct sunlight.
