Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) 90 Tablets

Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) 90 Tablets are white or slightly off-white, solid chlorine tablets. They contain approximately 90% available chlorine, making them a highly effective disinfectant and sanitizing agent. The tablets slowly dissolve in water, releasing chlorine for water disinfection and algae control. TCCA 90 is widely used in water treatment applications such as swimming pools, drinking water systems, and industrial water treatment.

Applications:

1. Water Treatment:
   • Swimming Pools: TCCA 90 Tablets are commonly used to disinfect pool water, control algae growth, and maintain chlorine levels for a safe swimming environment.
   • Drinking Water Treatment: Effective for disinfecting potable water and controlling microbial growth in drinking water systems.
   • Industrial Water Treatment: Used to sanitize cooling towers, wastewater systems, and industrial water supplies.
2. Disinfection and Sanitation:
   • Public and Private Spaces: Applied for disinfecting surfaces in public places, hospitals, and other environments to control bacterial, viral, and fungal growth.
   • Food Industry: Used to sanitize equipment and surfaces in food processing plants to ensure hygiene standards.
3. Algaecide and Fungicide:
   • Agriculture and Aquaculture: TCCA is used to control algae, fungi, and other microbes in agricultural irrigation systems and fish farms.
4. Bleaching Agent:
   • Textile and Paper Industries: Employed as a bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries to whiten fabrics and paper pulp.
5. Household Cleaning Products:
   • Incorporated into household disinfectants and cleaning formulations for its strong bactericidal and virucidal properties.

Handling and Safety:

• Personal Protection:
  • Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles to avoid skin and eye contact.
  • Use a face mask or respirator in areas with poor ventilation to avoid inhaling chlorine fumes.
• Hazards:
  • Inhalation: Inhaling chlorine gas released from TCCA can cause respiratory irritation, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
  • Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation or burns upon contact.
  • Eye Contact: Can cause severe irritation and possible eye damage.
  • Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed, leading to internal irritation and damage.
  • Reactivity: Reacts violently with organic materials, ammonia, or ammonium compounds, and acids, which can cause fires or explosions.
• Spill Response:
  • In case of spills, avoid raising dust. Sweep up and place in a suitable container for proper disposal. Avoid water contact with the material to prevent chlorine gas release.

Storage:

• Storage Conditions:
  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
  • Keep away from incompatible materials such as acids, ammonia, and organic compounds.
• Container Requirements:
  • Store in tightly sealed, non-metallic containers. Metal containers may corrode due to the acid nature of TCCA, especially if exposed to moisture.
• Stability:
  • TCCA is stable under dry conditions. Exposure to moisture or heat will cause it to decompose and release chlorine gas, which can be hazardous. Ensure that the storage area is dry and free from water sources.

By following these guidelines, TCCA 90 Tablets can be safely used for water treatment, sanitation, and disinfection across a range of industries. Proper handling and storage are essential to maintaining the efficacy and safety of this powerful chlorinating agent.
