Application
Swimming Pool and Spa Maintenance (Main Application)
Role: Chlorine stabilizer, commonly known as "pool stabilizer" or "sunscreen chlorine."
Function: In outdoor pools, ultraviolet rays from sunlight rapidly degrade free chlorine within hours. Adding cyanuric acid effectively protects the chlorine molecules, extending their duration of action by up to eight times, significantly reducing the frequency and amount of chlorine additions.
Chemical Synthesis Intermediate
Role: A key raw material for the production of a range of high-value chemicals.
Downstream Products:
Chloroisocyanurate disinfectants: such as trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC). The cyanuric acid we produce is the core precursor of these highly effective disinfectants.

Water Treatment Chemicals
Used in the synthesis of certain corrosion and scale inhibitors.
Synthetic Materials: Used in the manufacture of epoxy resins, flame retardants, plastics, and coatings.
Other Applications
Used as an auxiliary component in disinfectants in certain specific applications.
Used in the synthesis of herbicides and plant growth regulators.

How to use
Outdoor swimming pools is the primary and most common application of cyanuric acid.
Target Concentration: It is recommended to maintain a cyanuric acid concentration of 30-50 ppm (mg/L) in pool water.
- <30 ppm: Insufficient stabilization and rapid chlorine loss.
- >100 ppm: "Chlorine lock" may occur, where the chlorine becomes over-stabilized and ineffective in killing bacteria.
- >200 ppm: Partial water changes are necessary to dilute the concentration.
Advantages
- Excellent chlorine stability: significantly reduces chlorine consumption
- Maintains continuous, stable disinfection effectiveness
- Optimizes pH conditions for enhanced comfort
- Versatile as a key chemical intermediate
- Safe to use, easy to store and transport
Storage Method
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from moisture and sunlight.
- Keep in original packaging and reseal the bag immediately after each use.
- Store in a safe and isolated location (critical) away from moisture, acids, alkalis, strong oxidants, heat, and ignition sources.
FAQ
Q1: Can I use trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) instead of cyanuric acid? +
A: Yes, but caution is advised. TCCA itself contains approximately 50% cyanuric acid. If you use TCCA as your primary chlorine source for an extended period, the cyanuric acid concentration in your pool water will gradually accumulate and require close monitoring to prevent levels exceeding recommended limits.
Q2: Is cyanuric acid safe for swimmers? +
A: Yes. At the recommended concentration (30-50 ppm), it is safe for swimmers and poses a low risk of skin and eye irritation.
Q3: How often should I test the cyanuric acid concentration? +
A: Granular products offer the following significant advantages over powders:
Less dust: This improves the working environment, reduces respiratory irritation to operators, and reduces the risk of corrosion in the equipment area.
Controllable Solubility: The moderate dissolution rate makes it easy to operate manually or with automated dosing equipment, and it resists agglomeration.
Easy Metering: Simple containers allow for rough metering, making it suitable for dosing of all sizes.

Q4: What is the recommended target concentration of cyanuric acid in outdoor pools? +
A: The recommended target concentration is 30-50 ppm (mg/L). Maintaining this level prevents rapid chlorine loss while avoiding "chlorine lock" which can occur at higher concentrations.
Q5: How should cyanuric acid be stored to ensure safety? +
A: It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from moisture and sunlight. Keep it in the original packaging, and store it in an isolated location away from moisture, acids, alkalis, strong oxidants, heat, and ignition sources.
Q6: What packaging options are available for Cyanuric Acid? +
A: Standard packaging options include 25 kg/bag (plastic-lined woven bag) and 500 kg/bag / 1000 kg/bag. Customized packaging is also available upon request.
