Product Description
STABLE BLEACHING POWDER is a chemical compound used primarily as a disinfectant and bleaching agent. It contains calcium, oxygen, and chlorine, and is the product of the reaction between chlorine and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). This is slightly soluble in water, releasing chlorine when dissolved. It is a strong oxidizer, which allows it to break down various organic substances. The chlorine acts as a disinfectant, killing microorganisms by breaking down their cell walls or denaturing proteins. Furthermore, the STABLE BLEACHING POWDER works through the release of chlorine (Cl₂) when it dissolves in water.
