Chlorine-based biocides are chemicals used in water treatment to kill harmful microorganisms like bacteria and algae. They work by releasing chlorine, which oxidizes and disrupts cellular functions of pathogens. Commonly used in pools, drinking water, and industrial systems for disinfection.

Size: Typically available in liquid form (various container sizes from 1L to 1000L) or solid form (granules, tablets, or powders).

Grade: Industrial grade, USP grade, or technical grade depending on application (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, or industrial cooling systems).

Viscosity: Liquid forms range from low to medium viscosity (1-100 cP at 20°C), depending on concentration and formulation.

Buoyancy: Solid forms (tablets) may have slight buoyancy in water but dissolve over time; liquid forms mix uniformly.

Material: Active ingredients include sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, or trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA).

Solubility: Highly soluble in water (solid forms dissolve at varying rates).

pH Range: Effective in pH 6-8.5, with optimal performance near neutral pH.

Density: Liquid forms typically 1.0-1.3 g/cm³; solid forms vary by compound (e.g., calcium hypochlorite ~2.35 g/cm³).

Concentration: Liquid solutions range from 5-15% available chlorine; solid forms may contain 65-90% active chlorine.

Storage: Requires cool, dry, and well-ventilated areas away from sunlight and organic materials.
