About Calcium Hypochlorite 65% Available Chlorine

Calcium Hypochlorite is a powerful oxidizing agent predominantly used for water treatment, sanitation, and industrial bleaching applications. It disinfects water by releasing chlorine slowly, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, and algae in municipal and industrial water systems. In industrial bleaching, it acts on organic materials to provide whiteness and cleanliness in textiles and paper production. Finstar Chemicals supplies Calcium Hypochlorite in 25 kg buckets, facilitating ease of handling and dosage control for industrial and municipal buyers. This product is stable under cool, dry storage conditions but requires careful protection from moisture and incompatible substances to ensure efficacy and avoid premature degradation. The chemical's application is critical in maintaining clean water supplies and safe industrial processes in Kenya and the broader East African region. Buyers benefit from reliable sourcing and compliance with industrial standards to meet procurement requirements. Handling should always follow safety guidelines given its strong oxidative nature and potential corrosiveness. Finstar Chemicals supports industrial customers with documentation and technical assistance to optimize the use of Calcium Hypochlorite in their operations.
