Calcium Hypochlorite (65% Grade)

Calcium Hypochlorite (65% grade) is a powerful chlorine-based oxidizer commonly utilized in municipal and industrial water treatment for effective disinfection. It serves to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and algae in drinking water, swimming pools, and wastewater systems. In addition to sanitization, it is applied in pulp and paper bleaching and some textile processes. Handling requires care due to its oxidative nature; storage in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area separate from organic and combustible materials is essential to prevent decomposition or fire risks. The product is supplied primarily in 25kg plastic pails suited for safe transport and storage. Procurement teams benefit from its consistent chlorine release rate ensuring predictable dosing for process control. In the East African region including Kenya, Finstar Chemicals offers reliable shipments and technical support to optimize chemical usage and maintain regulatory safety compliance. The chemical’s fast dissolution rate supports rapid chlorination procedures. Water treatment plants requiring residual chlorine control often dose between 1-5 mg/L, adjusting according to source water conditions and local regulations. Procurement should note that improper storage or mixing with incompatible chemicals can reduce effectiveness or cause hazardous reactions. Finstar Chemicals guides buyers on best practices for inventory management, minimizing losses from moisture absorption or caking in tropical climates typical of Kenya’s industrial zones.
