Calcium Hypochlorite Chlorine is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder or granules known for its strong oxidizing and disinfectant properties. The 65% grade indicates the available chlorine content, making it a powerful bleaching, sanitizing, and oxidizing agent. It is commonly used for water treatment, sanitation, and as a bleaching agent in industrial and household applications. Calcium Hypochlorite dissolves in water to release hypochlorous acid, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Distilled Water
Distilled Water is purified water that has been processed through distillation, a method involving evaporation and subsequent condensation to remove impurities, salts, minerals, and organic matter. This results in ultra-pure, clear, odorless, and tasteless water free of dissolved solids and contaminants. Distilled water is non-conductive, neutral in pH under ideal storage, and chemically stable. It is widely used across pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical, industrial, and consumer applications where high water purity is critical.
Glutardehyde
Glutardehydeis a potent biocidal agent and chemical sterilant widely used in healthcare, water treatment, and industrial applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a pungent, sharp odor. Chemically, it is a dialdehyde, primarily valued for its ability to cross-link proteins, making it highly effective as a disinfectant, fixative, and preservative. Typically supplied in concentrations of 25% or 50% aqueous solutions, Glutaraldehyde is used where high-level disinfection is needed—especially against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Its versatility also extends to tanning, laboratory science, and wastewater treatment.
Industrial Salt
Industrial Salt, chemically known as Sodium Chloride (NaCl), is a high-purity crystalline compound widely used across industrial, chemical, agricultural, and water treatment applications. It appears as white to off-white crystalline granules or powder, depending on the grade and particle size.
