Description
Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) is a powerful chlorinated isocyanurate widely used as a disinfectant, bleaching agent, and algaecide. It is highly effective in releasing available chlorine when dissolved in water, offering strong oxidative and sterilizing properties. TCCA is commonly used for water treatment, especially in swimming pools, industrial circulating water systems, and wastewater disinfection. It also finds application in textile bleaching and food processing sanitation. TCCA is favored for its high chlorine content, slow release, and long-lasting effects.
