By Forms
Granules
- Larger solid pieces of calcium hypochlorite that are coarser than powders.
- Slower dissolving rate in water, ideal for controlled chlorine release over extended periods.
- Used for pool treatment and water disinfection with sustained chlorine release.
- Less prone to dusting and more stable when stored.
Powder
- A fine, dust-like material that is easier to mix.
- Dissolves quickly in water for fast applications needing rapid chlorine release.
- Difficult to handle in daily life, prone to dusting, can be harmful when inhaled.
- Improper storage can cause powders to absorb moisture, leading to caking or degradation.
By Concentration
Low concentration
- Available chlorine may be around 40%-50% and is usually used for smaller scale use or milder disinfection and is safer to handle.
Standard concentration
- Available chlorine concentration is between 65% to 70%, a concentration that has a stronger disinfecting effect. It is easy to manage in terms of storage and handling.
High concentration
- Available chlorine concentration is 75% or higher and is usually used in high volume industrial settings where rapid chlorination or shock treatment is needed.
Application
Water Treatment
- Used to disinfect drinking water, especially in emergency situations or in areas without centralized water treatment systems.
- Used to disinfect wastewater, killing bacteria, viruses, and pathogens before release or reuse.
Swimming Pool Disinfection
- Used to sanitize pool water, killing microorganisms and controlling algae growth.
- It is a key component of pool shock treatments, adding a large chlorine dose to eliminate contaminants and bacteria beyond regular chlorine levels.
Surface Disinfection
- Used for surface disinfection in medical settings, helping control the spread of infections.
- Applied to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in public areas, such as restrooms, gyms, and schools.
Dye and Bleach
- Used in bleaching and stain removal in the textile industry, suitable for materials that require a non-acidic solution that can effectively clean fabrics without damaging the fibers or changing the color of the material, ensuring that the texture and quality are maintained.
Tobacco Processing
- Tobacco leaves are disinfected and bleached during processing to ensure hygiene, eliminate contaminants, brighten the color, and improve the appearance and consistency of the final product.
Industrial and Commercial Cleaning
- It is used in cleaning and sanitizing industrial equipment, food processing facilities, and commercial spaces. Calcium hypochlorite helps remove bacteria, mold, mildew, and viruses from surfaces.
