About Product
Calcium Hypochlorite (Ca(OCl)₂) is a white crystalline compound widely recognized for its powerful disinfecting and oxidizing properties. It consists of one calcium (Ca) atom and two hypochlorite (OCl⁻) ions, forming a solid substance with high chlorine content. Known for its ability to release chlorine when dissolved in water, it effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, algae, and microorganisms, making it indispensable for water treatment, sanitation, and disinfection purposes. As a trusted calcium hypochlorite manufacturer and supplier globally, Elchemy offers high-purity products tailored to meet stringent industrial requirements. Our product ensures stability, long shelf life, and superior chlorine performance — making us one of the leading calcium hypochlorite suppliers in the market.
