Application
1.Swimming Pools & Spas: The primary choice for continuous disinfection, algae prevention, and water clarification.
2.Drinking Water Treatment: Used for disinfecting potable water in municipal systems, emergency situations, and rural water supplies.
3.Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Effectively oxidizes contaminants and kills pathogens in industrial effluent.
5.Aquaculture & Animal Husbandry: Disinfects ponds, hatcheries, and livestock facilities to prevent disease outbreaks.
6.Food & Beverage Industry: Sanitizes processing equipment and surfaces.
7.Public Health & Hygiene: Used for sanitizing public areas and controlling algae in ornamental ponds and fountains.

How to use
1.For Swimming Pools:
Place TCCA tablets in a floating dispenser, skimmer basket, or automatic chlorinator. This allows for slow, controlled dissolution and even distribution of chlorine. Never throw tablets directly into the pool as they can bleach and damage the liner or floor.
2.For Water Treatment:
Direct Dosing: The required amount of TCCA powder or granules can be directly added to the water system with adequate mixing. Solution Preparation: For precise dosing, a stock solution can be prepared by dissolving TCCA in water. This solution should be used immediately and not stored for long periods.
3.General Disinfection:
Prepare a solution by dissolving TCCA in water to achieve the desired available chlorine concentration (e.g., 100-500 ppm). Apply by spraying or mopping.
Advantages
High Chlorine Content: With ≥90% available chlorine, it is one of the most concentrated commercial chlorine sources, offering superior efficiency.
Stability & Long Shelf Life: Remains stable under proper storage conditions, with minimal chlorine loss over time.
Slow-Release Action: Tablets dissolve gradually, providing a consistent, long-lasting chlorine residual and reducing application frequency.
Multi-Functional: Acts as a powerful disinfectant, algicide, and bleaching agent simultaneously.
Convenience: Solid form (especially tablets) is easy to transport, store, and apply with minimal risk of spills compared to liquid chlorine.
Cost-Effective: High efficiency and slow dissolution lead to lower overall chemical consumption and labor costs.
Storage Method
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
Protect from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent caking and decomposition.
Isolate from flammables, combustibles, organic materials, acids, ammonia, and reducing agents. Fires involving TCCA can produce toxic gases.
FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between TCCA and Calcium Hypochlorite?
A1: TCCA contains 90% available chlorine and is acidic, while calcium hypochlorite typically has 65-70% chlorine and is alkaline. TCCA releases chlorine more slowly and contains cyanuric acid (CYA), which helps protect chlorine from UV degradation in outdoor pools. Calcium hypochlorite does not contain CYA.
Q2: Is the cyanuric acid (CYA) in TCCA safe?
A2: Yes, in controlled amounts. CYA acts as a chlorine stabilizer in outdoor pools. However, CYA levels must be monitored, as excessively high concentrations can reduce chlorine's effectiveness ("chlorine lock"). Regular partial water replacement is recommended for pools using TCCA long-term.
Q3: Can I mix TCCA with other chemicals?
A3: Absolutely not. Never mix TCCA with other pool chemicals, especially acids, ammonia, or other chlorine compounds. Mixing can cause violent reactions, fire, or the release of toxic gases like chlorine gas or nitrogen trichloride.
Q4: Why should I use tablets instead of powder?
A4: Tablets offer convenience and controlled, slow release, making them ideal for continuous maintenance (e.g., in pools). Powder/granules are better for "shock" treatments or situations requiring a rapid, high dose of chlorine.
Q5: Is TCCA corrosive?
A5: Yes. TCCA is a strong oxidizer and can be corrosive to metals, especially when wet. Always use non-metallic containers for solution preparation and storage, and rinse equipment after use.
