Stable Bleaching Powder
CaCl₂·Ca(OCl)₂ | CAS: 7778-54-3 | HS: 28281000
Product Description
Stable Bleaching Powder offers significantly enhanced shelf stability over standard bleaching powder, retaining active chlorine even under tropical storage conditions. With 33–38% available chlorine, it occupies the cost-effective mid-range between standard bleaching powder (25–35%) and calcium hypochlorite (65–70%), making it the practical disinfectant of choice for low-infrastructure water treatment programmes, textile bleaching units, and sanitation projects in price-sensitive markets. MITCHEM supplies in sealed HDPE drums that preserve potency during long transit to Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Applications by Industry
Used in water treatment in developing markets where calcium hypochlorite concentration is not required; provides cost-effective residual disinfection at lower capital outlay.
Applied in batch bleaching of cotton fabric and yarn in smaller dyeing units; compatibility with existing powder dosing systems makes it operationally preferred in smaller mills.
Used in pools in price-sensitive markets as an economical alternative to calcium hypochlorite for routine sanitisation.
Applied in food processing facility sanitation, dairy cleaning programmes, and general-purpose surface disinfection where liquid hypochlorite dispensing systems are absent.
