Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA 90)

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA 90) is a chlorinated chemical compound supplied in a granular or tablet form containing approximately 90% available chlorine. It functions as a solid source of chlorine, releasing disinfectant upon dissolution in water, making it effective for sanitizing and controlling microbial growth. Industrial users typically employ dosages ranging from 1 to 5 mg/L available chlorine depending on the application and system requirements. TCCA 90 exhibits moderate solubility and produces acidic aqueous solutions with a pH between 2.8 and 3.5. It must be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, separated from organic materials and strong acids to prevent decomposition and hazards. Supplied primarily in drums with options for bulk volumes, this chemical requires careful handling due to its oxidizing properties and potential to decompose if exposed to moisture or heat for extended periods. Buyers should confirm storage and safety measures before procurement.

In water treatment applications, TCCA 90 provides a stable and concentrated source of chlorine that ensures effective microbial control, reducing risks of contamination and corrosion in water systems. Its high chlorine content allows for efficient dosing, preserving water quality in settings such as cooling towers and food processing plants. Failure to maintain adequate disinfection can lead to biofilm buildup, operational inefficiencies, and regulatory non-compliance. The chemical's stability and solid form facilitate safer handling and longer shelf-life compared to liquid chlorine alternatives, enabling streamlined inventory management for industrial users. Using TCCA 90 supports maintaining hygienic conditions and operational reliability where consistent chlorination is critical.
