It is a solid chlorine compound used for disinfection, commonly sold as pool chlorine, chlorine granules or hypo. It is often confused with bleaching powder, which is a different, weaker product.

Disinfecting swimming pools, drinking water and wastewater, sanitising food and dairy plants, controlling biofouling in cooling towers, and emergency water treatment.

Bleaching powder typically carries around 33–35% available chlorine. Calcium hypochlorite at 65–70% is roughly twice as strong per kilogram and far more stable in storage, so dosing volumes and freight costs are lower.

Dosage depends on water volume, organic load and the residual chlorine you need to hold. Establish it by testing rather than by fixed rule, and monitor free residual chlorine continuously.

Yes. It is a strong oxidiser (UN 1748, Class 5.1). Keep it away from acids, ammonia, organic matter, fuel and other oxidisers — contact can cause fire. Store cool, dry and sealed, and read the MSDS before handling.

Heat and humidity degrade available chlorine over time. Keep drums sealed in a cool, shaded store, and rotate stock on a first-in-first-out basis.
