| Physical Appearance | White fine Powder |
| Available Chlorine | 30 % ± 1 |
| Moisture | 0.50 % max. |
| Stability | On heating at 100 ± 2 ºC it does not lose more than 1/15th of the available chlorine. |
| Particle Size Passing through 1.7 mm Sieve | 99.0 % |
| General Product Information |
| Stable below 0.5 % moisture contents. Produces chlorine odor or HOCl in case of high moisture contents and start decomposing. Decomposes by absorption of CO2 from air. Decomposition by oxygen separation with low water contents, which is accelerated in the presence of heavy metals (Fe+3, Ni and Co etc). Shelf Life: One year in airtight drums; 03 months in airtight bags, if stored at room temperature and dry place |
| Product Handling and Safety Instruction |
| It is supplied in 25 kg Polypropylene bags having polyethylene liner in bags. Airtight packing protects decomposition of bleaching powder due to carbon dioxide from air. Must be stored separately in well-ventilated and covered area. Avoid contact with other chemicals especially from all acids. It catches fire on exposure to naked flame and high temperature. |
