Ammonia solution
Ammonia solutions, often referred to as aqueous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, are clear, colorless liquids consisting of ammonia gas dissolved in water. The concentration of ammonia in these solutions typically ranges from 5% to 35% by weight. Ammonia solutions possess a pungent odor characteristic of ammonia gas and are alkaline with a pH typically between 11 and 12.5. This solution is widely used across various industries due to its excellent cleaning properties, reactivity, and role as a nitrogen source.
Bronopol
Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol) is a water-soluble, white crystalline powder or granules with a slight odor. It is a synthetic antimicrobial agent widely used as a preservative in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Bronopol exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms. It works by releasing active formaldehyde slowly, which disrupts microbial metabolism and reproduction.
Chlorine Tablets
Chlorine Tablets are solid, compressed forms of chlorine-releasing compounds, typically composed of stabilized trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) or sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC). These tablets are used primarily for water disinfection and sanitation due to their controlled and sustained release of chlorine. They appear as white to off-white, hard tablets with a mild chlorine odor. Chlorine Tablets are widely used in swimming pools, drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and industrial sanitization processes. Their slow dissolution ensures prolonged antimicrobial activity, providing effective control against bacteria, viruses, algae, and other pathogens.
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.
