Supplier of Calcium Hypochlorite from Turkey and Dubai UAE

Industrial-grade Calcium Hypochlorite granules and tablets ready for export — reliable supplier of high-purity calcium hypochlorite for water treatment, pool sanitation, and disinfection applications.

Description Calcium Hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)₂) is a powerful disinfectant and bleaching compound known for its high chlorine content (65–70%), strong oxidizing capacity, and long-lasting disinfection performance. It plays a critical role in water treatment, swimming pool sanitation, industrial cleaning, and agricultural hygiene.

What Is Calcium Hypochlorite?

Calcium hypochlorite is a white or grayish solid that readily releases chlorine when dissolved in water, producing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) — a potent disinfectant that kills bacteria, viruses, and algae. Because of its effectiveness and stability, it is widely used in drinking water disinfection, swimming pool maintenance, and industrial sanitation.

Available in several grades and formulations, calcium hypochlorite is valued for its balance of efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, making it one of the most trusted chlorine-based compounds worldwide.

Key Properties of Calcium Hypochlorite

  • Chemical Formula: Ca(ClO)₂

  • Appearance: White or grayish granules, powder, or tablets

  • Chlorine Content: 65–70%

  • Solubility: 21 g/100 mL in water

  • pH (solution): 11–12 (mildly alkaline)

  • Odor: Characteristic chlorine smell

  • Oxidizing Ability: High, suitable for effective bleaching and disinfection

These properties make calcium hypochlorite ideal for consistent and reliable performance across diverse industries.

Production Process of Calcium Hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite is produced through a controlled chemical reaction between chlorine gas and calcium hydroxide:

2Cl₂ + 2Ca(OH)₂ → Ca(ClO)₂ + CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

The process ensures a high chlorine yield and stable compound formation, resulting in a product suitable for industrial, agricultural, and domestic disinfection applications.

Grades of Calcium Hypochlorite Supplied

We offer several grades of calcium hypochlorite designed for specific industrial needs:

  • Technical Grade (65–70% chlorine): For industrial cleaning and bleaching.

  • Swimming Pool Grade: Stabilized with UV inhibitors; available in granules or tablets.

  • Food Grade (68–70% chlorine): Suitable for potable water and food processing.

  • Pharmaceutical Grade: Used for sterilization and disinfection in healthcare facilities.

  • Agricultural Grade: Ideal for irrigation systems and livestock sanitation.

Available forms include granular, tablet, and stabilized types, ensuring flexibility for different operational requirements.

Applications and Uses of Calcium Hypochlorite

1. Water Treatment and Purification

Used to disinfect drinking water, municipal systems, and swimming pools, calcium hypochlorite releases hypochlorous acid, effectively eliminating bacteria and viruses. It is often used alongside soda ash to balance pH levels and optimize chlorine efficiency, ensuring crystal-clear and safe water for both residential and industrial systems.

2. Industrial and Domestic Disinfection

Hospitals, food processing plants, and households use calcium hypochlorite to sanitize surfaces, utensils, and wastewater.
It is frequently combined with caustic soda in industrial cleaning formulations to remove organic residues and enhance disinfection effectiveness.

3. Bleaching Agent

Its strong oxidizing properties make it ideal for textile, paper, and detergent manufacturing.
In detergent production, calcium hypochlorite works effectively with Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) to enhance stain removal, brightness, and product stability.

4. Agriculture

Farmers use calcium hypochlorite to disinfect irrigation systems, animal drinking water, and farm equipment, supporting healthier crops and livestock environments.

5. Food and Beverage Industry

Ensures hygienic processing environments by disinfecting food contact surfaces, bottling lines, and water systems in beverage production.

6. Wastewater Treatment

Used in wastewater plants to neutralize pathogens, oxidize organic compounds, and maintain sanitation efficiency.

Benefits of Using Calcium Hypochlorite

  • Powerful Disinfection: Kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi effectively.

  • Long Shelf Life: Stable and durable when stored properly.

  • Cost-Effective: Delivers high chlorine concentration per dose.

  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for multiple industries and conditions.

  • Reliable Supply: Available in various grades and packing options for global delivery.

Handling, Storage, and Safety Guidelines

Because calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer, safe handling is essential:

  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, acids, and flammable materials.

  • Handling: Always wear gloves, safety goggles, and masks. Avoid direct contact with skin or eyes.

  • Disposal: Follow local environmental regulations. Never mix with organic materials or reducing agents.

Each shipment includes a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for reference and regulatory compliance.
