Description
Bleaching Powder or White powder that is usually a mixture of calcium chloride hypochlorite, CaCl(OCl); calcium hypochlorite, Ca(OCl) 2; and calcium chloride, CaCl 2. Sometimes called chloride of lime, it can be prepared by reacting calcium hydroxide or slaked lime, Ca(OH) 2, with chlorine gas, Cl 2. Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with formula Ca(ClO)2. It is the main active ingredient of commercial products called bleaching powder.
GRADE I CHLORINE 34 %
It is Calcium Hypochlorite containing above 34% Chlorine and is a powerful oxidizing agent. It is stable for a longer period of time, i.e. very low losses of available Chlorine over an extended period of time when properly stored even under changing climatic conditions.
GRADE II CHLORINE 32 %
It is the main active ingredient of commercial products called Bleaching Powder, chlorine powder, or chlorinated lime, used for water treatment and as bleaching agents. This compound is relatively stable and has greater available chlorine than sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach). It is a white solid, although commercial samples appear yellow. It strongly smells of chlorine, owing to its slow decomposition in moist air. It is not highly soluble in hard water, and is more preferably used in soft to medium-hard water.
COMMERCIAL GRADE 17%
It is a white powder that decomposes on contact with water and has the characteristic odour of gaseous chlorine: regarded, when dry, as a mixed calcium hypochlorite-chloride, used as a commercial bleach for wood pulp, textiles, oils, and soaps, and in laundering as a decolorizer and disinfectant.
