About Calcium Hypochlorite 65% Chlorine

Calcium Hypochlorite 65% Chlorine is a granular or tablet form chemical that serves as a strong oxidizing agent and disinfectant. It releases chlorine when dissolved in water, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and algae, making it ideal for water treatment purposes. This chemical is commonly supplied in 25 kg buckets that help preserve its stability and ease of handling. Its primary use is in water purification for municipal, industrial, and swimming pool applications, where it maintains water hygiene and prevents microbial growth. The compound is also employed in bleaching textiles and paper products, as well as in sanitation processes across various industries. Handling calcium hypochlorite requires strict adherence to storage guidelines: it must be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from combustible materials due to its oxidizing property. It is incompatible with acids, ammonium compounds, and organic materials which can lead to hazardous reactions. Supplying customers across East Africa, Finstar Chemicals ensures compliance documentation such as Certificates of Analysis are available to affirm quality and safety.
