7. TCCA can also be used for cleaning and bleaching textiles, anti-shrink treatment of wool, insect resistance in paper, and chlorination of rubber.

Dosage Forms and Specifications:

TCCA is available in the following forms:

  • Forms: White powder, granular, or flake.
  • Effective Chlorine: ≥90%.
  • pH (1% Solution): 2.7–3.3.
  • Granular Sizes: 8–30 mesh, 20–60 mesh, or customized per customer requirements.
  • Sheet Sizes: 1 g, 2 g, 20 g, 200 g per slice, or as specified by the customer.
  • Packaging: Available in plastic drums (25 kg, 50 kg), cardboard drums (25 kg, 50 kg), or customized packaging as per customer needs.

Usage Guidelines

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) is a powerful, safe, and versatile disinfectant widely applied across industries for its exceptional antimicrobial properties. Its high chlorine content, stability, and availability in multiple forms make it an ideal solution for water treatment, food safety, agricultural disinfection, and industrial sanitation, ensuring effective microbial control and operational efficiency.

Application Dosage Method Response Time
Drinking Water (Well, River, Pond) 2-5 mg/L (effective chlorine) Dissolve powder/granules in water, continuous chlorination 30 minutes
Domestic Animal Drinking Water (Well, River, Pond) 5-10 mg/L (effective chlorine) Dissolve granules or tablets, continuous chlorination 20 minutes
Swimming Pool Water 1-3 mg/L (effective chlorine), 3-5g/m³ water daily Add tablets (20g or 200g) via floater or dissolve directly 5-10 minutes
Fruits, Melons, and Vegetables Cleaning 1:1000-1:2000 (dilution) Soak or spray wash 5-10 minutes
Sanitation and Epidemic Prevention (Surface/Environment)

Additional Notes:

  • 1.Calculation Example: For a 1000 m³ swimming pool requiring 2 mg/L effective chlorine, approximately 2.2 kg of TCCA (90% purity) is needed. Using tablet form allows for slow release, reducing the need for frequent additions.
  • 2.Safety and Storage: TCCA decomposes slowly in water; avoid mixing with ammonia or acids (which may release chlorine gas). Store in a cool, dry place with a shelf life of 2 years. Residual chlorine should not exceed 0.4 mg/L to comply with drinking water standards (WHO/EPA).
