Calcium Hypochlorite, Purity : 99 for algae etc

Calcium hypochlorite is widely used for water treatment and as a bleaching agent.

Our HTH finds use in the processes below:

1. Disinfectant of drinking water and swimming pool water – it is a sanitizer highly effective in preventing growth of bacteria, algae and other micro-organisms. Municipalities use HTH in place of chlorine gas to purify their water.
2. Ingredient in bleaching powder for bleaching linen
3. Used to make household cleaners, killers, disinfectant sprays.
4. Can be used to treat waste-water effluents for paper mills, tanneries and textile mills

Chlorine is a biocide that kills microorganisms, algae etc. HTH is one source of chlorine. Hypochlorite solutions release chlorine into solution which somehow deactivates micro-organism functions in water bodies.

Dosage rates are dependent on the amount of micro organisms in the water body as well as the level of bleaching that needs to be attained.
