About Calcium Hypochlorite 70%
Calcium Hypochlorite 70% is a granular chemical primarily utilized as a disinfecting agent to eliminate harmful microorganisms in water. It appears as a white to off-white powder with an available chlorine content of approximately 70%. This compound dissolves readily in water, resulting in a solution with a pH typically ranging between 11 and 13, which aids its sanitizing effectiveness. When handling or storing, it is important to avoid moisture exposure to maintain its stability and prolong shelf life, which is generally between 1 to 2 years if kept in proper conditions. Typical dosage rates for municipal water disinfection range from 1 to 5 mg/L free chlorine depending on water quality and treatment goals. Supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk quantities, this grade of Calcium Hypochlorite is designed for water purification, pool sanitation, and industrial bleaching applications. Buyers should ensure it is stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances such as acids or organic materials to minimize degradation and risks during use.
Why Calcium Hypochlorite 70% Matters
Effective water disinfection is essential to control waterborne pathogens and ensure public health safety. Calcium Hypochlorite 70% provides a reliable source of available chlorine that rapidly inactivates bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, making it indispensable for maintaining microbiological water quality. Its high chlorine content allows for precise dosing, minimizing chemical usage while achieving stringent sanitation standards. In industrial processes like pulp bleaching and surface sanitization, this compound offers strong oxidizing power to remove unwanted color and biological contaminants. Proper dosing and handling ensure operational efficiency and protect infrastructure from corrosion or fouling.
