Product Information

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA), commonly known as strong chlorine essence, is a highly effective chlorinated disinfectant, bactericide, and bleaching agent. It appears as a white crystalline powder, granules, or tablets with a strong chlorine odor. Its most notable characteristics are its high available chlorine content and the slow release of hypochlorous acid (HOCI) upon dissolution, providing long-lasting bactericidal efficacy. TCCA is stable, making it convenient for storage and transportation. It is widely used in water disinfection, industrial bleaching, and sanitation, serving as an excellent alternative to traditional bleaching powder and chlorine gas.

Product Nature


  1. Physical Properties:
    · Appearance: White crystalline powder, granules, or tablets.
    · Odor: Strong, pungent chlorine odor.
    · Solubility: Slightly soluble in water (1.2g/100mL, 25°C), soluble in chlorinated solvents (e.g., chloroform). Aqueous solution is acidic.
    · Density: Bulk density approx. 0.55-0.70 g/cm³ (powder), 0.90-1.00 g/cm³ (granules).

  2. Chemical Properties:
    · Strong Oxidizing Agent: A powerful oxidizer that can react vigorously with many substances.
    · Hydrolysis: Slowly hydrolyzes in water, releasing hypochlorous acid (HOCI) and isocyanuric acid. Hypochlorous acid is the key active species for disinfection and bleaching.
    · Stability: Stable in dry state, but slowly decomposes releasing chlorine gas in moist air or upon contact with water.
    · Incompatibility: Forms explosive nitrogen trichloride (NCl₃) when mixed with nitrogen-containing compounds like ammonium salts, ammonia, or urea, which is extremely hazardous.

Product Usage


  1. Water Disinfection (Primary Application):
    · Swimming Pool Sanitization: Used as a slow-release disinfectant for continuous bactericidal and algicidal control in swimming pools and spas.
    · Drinking Water Disinfection: For disinfecting potable water and well water.
    · Industrial Circulating Water: For bacterial and algal control in industrial cooling water systems.
    · Wastewater Treatment: For final disinfection of hospital sewage and domestic wastewater.

  2. Industrial Bleaching:
    · Textile Industry: For bleaching cotton, linen, and synthetic fibers.
    · Paper Industry: For pulp bleaching.

  3. Sanitation & Epidemic Prevention:
    · Used for disinfection and sanitation in public areas, food processing equipment, and livestock farms.

  4. Other Applications:
    · Serves as a chlorinating agent in organic synthesis.

Safety Matters


1.Health Hazards

Highly Corrosive and Oxidizing: TCCA is highly irritating and corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, causing severe chemical burns, redness, pain, and tissue damage.


2.Inhalation Hazard:

 Inhalation of dust or decomposition gases (such as chlorine and phosgene) can severely irritate the respiratory tract, leading to coughing, difficulty breathing, and sore throat. Inhalation of high concentrations can cause chemical pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and even life-threatening conditions.


3.Ingestion Hazard: 

Ingestion can severely corrode the digestive tract, causing severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and internal tissue damage, potentially resulting in death.
