Product Description
Basic Information
- Product Name: Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC)/ Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate Dihydrate
- Chemical Formula: C3Cl2N3NaO3/ C3Cl2N3NaO3.2H2O
- Molecular Weight: 219.95/ 255.98
- CAS Number: 2893-78-9/ 51580-86-0
- Appearance: White or off-white crystalline powder/granules with a pungent odor of hypochlorous acid
- Melting Point: ~240°C (decomposes)
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water (aqueous solution is acidic); slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in chloroform and diethyl ether
Application Fields
- Disinfection and Sterilization
- Water Treatment: Used for disinfection of drinking water, swimming pools, and industrial circulating water to eliminate algae and odors.
- Hygiene and Epidemic Prevention: Environmental disinfection in hospitals, hotels, and households; sterilization and bleaching of tableware and fabrics.
- Livestock and Poultry Farming: Disinfection of barns and equipment to prevent infectious diseases (e.g., avian influenza, swine fever).
- Agriculture and Aquaculture
- Control of crop diseases (e.g., powdery mildew, downy mildew) and elimination of pathogens/parasites in aquaculture.
- Industrial Applications
- Textile and Dyeing: As a mild bleaching agent for cotton, linen, and wool without damaging fibers.
- Paper Industry: Bleaching of pulp to remove lignin and colorants.
- Oilfield Water Treatment: Inhibit microbial growth to prevent pipeline blockages and equipment corrosion.
- Food Processing
- Disinfection of food processing equipment and containers (with strict control of residue levels to meet food safety standards).
Safety and Storage
- Toxicity and Hazards
- Low Toxicity: Mildly irritating to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract; high-concentration exposure may cause burns.
- Environmental Impact: Excessive use may lead to chlorine pollution in water bodies; discharge concentrations must be regulated.
- Safety Precautions
- Wear protective gloves, masks, and goggles; avoid direct skin contact and inhalation of dust.
- Never mix with acidic substances (e.g., hydrochloric acid, acetic acid), as this may trigger violent reactions and release toxic chlorine gas (Cl2).
- Storage Conditions
- Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from fire sources, heat, and reducing agents. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
