Description
High-Quality Trichloroisocyanuric Acid
Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA), chemically designated as 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-trione, 1,3,5-trichloro with CAS number 87-90-1, molecular formula C₃Cl₃N₃O₃, and molecular weight 232.41 g/mol, is a white crystalline solid that represents one of the most effective and widely used organic chlorine disinfectants. This advanced triazine derivative contains approximately 90% available chlorine and functions as a stable chlorine donor, providing controlled and sustained hypochlorous acid release in aqueous solutions. With excellent solubility characteristics in water, superior UV stability compared to sodium hypochlorite, and remarkable storage stability under normal conditions, TCCA demonstrates outstanding broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and algae. The compound functions by slowly releasing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) when dissolved in water, creating a powerful oxidizing environment that disrupts microbial cell walls and metabolic processes, making it essential for swimming pool maintenance, municipal water treatment, industrial disinfection, agricultural sanitization, aquaculture management, and specialized cleaning applications requiring reliable antimicrobial control and proven long-term effectiveness.
