Trichloroisocyanuric acid (C3Cl3N3O3), also known as Symclosene, trichloro-s-triazinetrione, TCICA, and trichlor, is a chemical compound used as an industrial disinfectant, bleaching agent and a reagent in organic synthesis.[1] This white crystalline powder, which has a strong "chlorine odour," is sometimes sold in tablet or granule form for domestic and industrial use.
Use in water treatment
The compound is a disinfectant, algicide and bactericide mainly for swimming pools and dyestuffs, and is also used as a bleaching agent in the textile industries.
