Application
-
1.Swimming Pools & Spas: Perfect for quick shock treatment to kill algae and bacteria, and for routine maintenance.
-
2.Drinking Water Purification: Used for emergency disinfection of drinking water and in municipal water treatment systems.
-
3.Industrial Circulating Water Systems: Effectively controls algae and slime, preventing biofilm formation.
-
4.Livestock & Aquaculture: Used for disinfecting animal housing, hatcheries, and fish ponds.
-
6.Food & Beverage Industry: Sanitizes processing equipment, surfaces, and containers.
-
7.Healthcare & Household: Used for general disinfection and sanitization in public places and homes.
Regular packing
We offer flexible packaging solutions to meet diverse logistical and market needs.
1.Powder/Granules: 25 kg or 50 kg plastic woven bags, with a sealed inner plastic liner to prevent moisture.
2.Tablets: 25 kg / 50 kg plastic drums or plastic woven bags. Common tablet sizes are 5g, 10g, and 20g.
Customer-specified packaging
1.Custom tablet sizes and shapes (e.g., effervescent tablets for faster dissolution).
2.Private label packaging with your company's branding and design.
3.Small, retail-sized packages (e.g., 500g, 1kg sachets or bottles).
4.Customized powder granulation upon request.
How to use
1.For Pool Shock Treatment:
Pre-dissolve the required amount of SDIC powder or granules in a bucket of water.
Pour the solution evenly around the perimeter of the pool during the evening for best results.
Do not swim until chlorine levels return to safe levels (1-3 ppm).
2.For General Disinfection:
Prepare a solution by dissolving SDIC in water to achieve the desired available chlorine concentration (e.g., 100-500 ppm for surface disinfection).
Apply by spraying, mopping, or soaking. Allow surfaces to air dry.
3.For Drinking Water:
Use a very small, precisely measured amount. Follow recommended dosages (typically a few milligrams per liter).
Stir and allow it to stand for at least 30 minutes before use.
Advantages
1.High Solubility: Dissolves quickly and completely in water, leaving little to no residue, unlike Calcium Hypochlorite.
2.Stability: Remains stable during storage with minimal chlorine loss when kept dry.
3.Convenient & Safe to Handle: Solid form is easier and safer to transport and store than liquid chlorine.
4.Nearly Neutral pH: Its solution is less alkaline than other chlorine compounds, reducing the need for pH adjustment in pools and minimizing corrosion on surfaces.
5.Dual-Action: Provides both instant and sustained chlorination effect.
6.Cost-Effective: High efficiency and rapid action lead to lower dosage and labor costs.
Storage Method
1.Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse.
2.Protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat.
3.Keep the container tightly closed after use to prevent caking.
4.Isolate from flammables, combustibles, organic materials, and acids. Fires involving SDIC can produce toxic fumes.
FAQ
-
Q1: What is the main difference between SDIC and TCCA (Trichloroisocyanuric Acid)?
A1: The key differences are:Solubility: SDIC is highly soluble, while TCCA dissolves slowly.pH: SDIC solution is nearly neutral, while TCCA is acidic.Application: SDIC is ideal for shock treatment and quick disinfection. TCCA is best for slow, continuous chlorination (e.g., in pool skimmers).Chlorine Content: TCCA has a higher available chlorine (≥90%) than SDIC (≥60%). -
