What is Calcium Hypochlorite 65%?
Calcium Hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)₂) is an inorganic compound in the form of white or light-gray granules. With a chlorine concentration of 65%, it is considered one of the most efficient solid chlorine sources for disinfection. It dissolves in water to release hypochlorous acid, the active compound responsible for killing pathogens and controlling microbial growth.
How It Works
When dissolved in water, Calcium Hypochlorite releases free available chlorine (FAC), which acts as a strong oxidizer. This process disrupts the cell walls of microorganisms, effectively neutralizing bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae. The granular form allows for controlled dosing and long-lasting disinfection, making it suitable for both large-scale and localized applications.
