Introduction
Trichloroisocyanuric acid
(TCCA) is a widely used chlorinating agent and disinfectant in water treatment, household cleaning products, and industrial sanitizers. With strong oxidative properties and high stability, TCCA offers an efficient and economical solution for disinfection across various sectors, including swimming pools, drinking water, textile bleaching, and public sanitation.
Chemical Profile
Chemical Name: Trichloroisocyanuric Acid
Abbreviation: TCCA
Molecular Formula: C3Cl3N3O3
Molecular Weight: 232.41 g/mol
CAS Number: 87-90-1
Appearance: White crystalline powder or granules
Odor: Mild chlorine-like odor
Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, releasing hypochlorous acid (HOCl)
Applications of TCCA
1. Water Treatment
TCCA is extensively used in disinfecting swimming pools, drinking water systems, and wastewater. It ensures microbial control by releasing free chlorine, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and algae.
2. Textile and Paper Industry
TCCA is a preferred bleaching agent in the textile and paper industries, offering high efficiency with minimal residue. It helps in brightening fabrics and sanitizing production processes.
3. Household and Industrial Cleaners
It is a key component in disinfectant tablets and surface sanitizers for homes, hospitals, hotels, and food processing units.
4. Agriculture and Aquaculture
TCCA is used to disinfect irrigation systems, livestock farms, fish tanks, and aquaculture ponds, helping prevent disease outbreaks.
5. Cooling Towers and Air Conditioning Systems
As a biocide, TCCA is added to cooling water systems to prevent microbial growth, biofilm formation, and corrosion.
Advantages of TCCA
High Chlorine Content (~90%)
Long shelf life and stability
Slow-release and controlled disinfection
Low corrosivity compared to other chlorine compounds
Reduced frequency of application
Safety and Handling
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from flammable materials
Avoid mixing with acids or other reducing agents
Use proper PPE (gloves, goggles, face shield) while handling
Toxic if ingested or inhaled in large quantities; handle with care
Packaging and Availability
TCCA is available in various forms:
Powder
Granules
Tablets (200g, 20g, effervescent types)
Packaging: 25 kg drums, 50 kg HDPE containers, or customized bulk packs for industrial use.
Conclusion
Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) is a highly effective, stable, and economical disinfectant suited for diverse industrial and domestic applications. Its superior chlorine yield and ease of handling make it a top choice for water purification, hygiene maintenance, and chemical processing.
