About Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC)

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) is a white crystalline powder or granule that serves as an effective source of chlorine for disinfection and sanitation purposes. It contains available chlorine content typically ranging from 55% to 62%, which facilitates reliable release of hypochlorous acid when dissolved in water. This compound is commonly used in water treatment systems to control microbial contamination. Supplied in 25kg bags, drums, or bulk quantities depending on client requirements, SDIC must be handled with care, maintaining storage conditions in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment to prevent premature degradation. It is incompatible with ammonia and acids, which can release hazardous gases upon contact. Typical dosing for potable water disinfection ranges between 1-3 mg/L of available chlorine, depending on the application and water quality parameters.

Why Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC) Matters

SDIC addresses the critical need for microbiological safety in potable water supplies, swimming pools, and wastewater systems by providing a stable and efficient chlorine source that ensures pathogen control. Its predictable chlorine release maintains consistent disinfection residuals, reducing risks of waterborne diseases. In food processing environments, it contributes to stringent sanitation standards by disinfecting surfaces and equipment, thereby supporting compliance with health regulations. By mitigating microbial contamination effectively, SDIC enhances public health and operational safety in treated water and sanitation processes.
