Calcium hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite (chemical formula: Ca(ClO)₂) is the primary component of bleaching powder and high-strength bleaching powder; it typically appears as a white or pale yellow powder or granules, characterized by a strong chlorine odor and strong oxidizing properties. Upon hydrolysis, it releases hypochlorous acid, providing highly effective bactericidal, disinfecting, and bleaching effects.

Product Description

Physical and Chemical Properties

1. Appearance: White to pale yellow powder, granules, or flake-like solid.

2. Available chlorine content: For industrial-grade products, the available chlorine content typically ranges from 65% to 75%.

3. Stability: Decomposes readily upon exposure to water, heat, or organic matter, releasing oxygen and chlorine gas.

Important notes

1. Strong oxidizing properties: Do not allow contact with acids, as this will generate large amounts of toxic chlorine gas; avoid mixing with flammable materials or organic substances.

2. Storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse; keep away from sources of ignition and heat, and strictly protect against moisture and direct sunlight.
