Calcium Hypochlorite Hydrating Granular

Calcium Hypochlorite Hydrating Granular is a white granular chemical supplied primarily as Aquafit® by TGV Chemicals. It functions as a powerful chlorine-releasing agent, commonly utilized for disinfection and sanitation, particularly in water treatment processes. The chemical formula Ca(ClO)₂ reflects its composition as a chlorinated compound capable of delivering active chlorine efficiently. Typically supplied in 25 kg sealed plastic pails, the product maintains stability when stored under cool, dry, and well-ventilated conditions, away from heat and moisture. Buyers should note its alkaline pH range of 11-12 in saturated solutions and its moderate to high solubility in water, allowing for effective dosing typically between 1 to 4 mg/L of active chlorine in water treatment applications. Handling precautions include avoiding contact with combustible materials and incompatible substances such as acids or ammonium compounds to prevent hazardous reactions.

In water disinfection, microbial contamination presents a persistent risk to public health and industrial processes. Calcium Hypochlorite Hydrating Granular addresses this by releasing active chlorine to inactivate pathogens including bacteria and viruses, ensuring water safety. Its granular form enables controlled dissolution rates, facilitating efficient dosing and sustained disinfection. The compound's stability and high chlorine content allow facilities to meet stringent hygiene standards and regulatory requirements reliably. By inhibiting biofilm formation and microbial growth, it helps prevent equipment corrosion and operational downtime in industrial water systems, protecting both infrastructure and output quality.
