Calcium Hypochlorite
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.
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.
Chlorobutanol BP
Chlorobutanol BP (also known as 1,1,1-Trichloro-2-methyl-2-propanol) is a white crystalline solid or powder, with a slight camphor-like odor and a bitter taste. It is a multifunctional preservative, anesthetic, and antimicrobial agent commonly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care products. Chlorobutanol exhibits bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties, making it effective in preventing microbial contamination in aqueous formulations. It also possesses mild local anesthetic effects, frequently used in ophthalmic and injectable preparations as a preservative and stabilizer.
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.
Formaldehyde (Formalin)
Formaldehyde (Formalin) is an aqueous solution containing approximately 37% formaldehyde by weight, stabilized typically with 10-15% methanol to prevent polymerization. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, penetrating odor. Formaldehyde is a simple aldehyde widely used as a disinfectant, preservative, and chemical intermediate. Formalin’s powerful antimicrobial and tissue-fixation properties make it essential in medical, laboratory, industrial, and manufacturing applications. It is one of the most commonly used chemicals worldwide for sterilization, embalming, and resin production.
Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade
Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), formulated specifically for use in food processing and related applications. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sharp, acrid odor. Renowned for its powerful oxidizing and bleaching properties, hydrogen peroxide is a strong antimicrobial agent and environmentally friendly disinfectant that decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues. The food-grade designation ensures compliance with strict purity standards, making it suitable for direct and indirect food contact uses, including sterilization, sanitation, and preservation.
