Description
Chloramine-T Trihydrate (CAS 7080-50-4) is a sodium salt-based chlorine-releasing compound, commercially known as Chloramine T. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC number 615-172-8. The molecular formula is C7H8ClNO2S·3H2O·Na.
In water treatment, Chloramine-T releases active chlorine slowly, disrupting microbial cell membranes to achieve sustained disinfection at low concentrations. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it serves as a controlled oxidising agent for radiolabelling proteins and peptides. Personal care formulators use it as a preservative and foam-stabilising biocide in cleansing products.
Chloramine-T Trihydrate is supplied as a crystalline powder and is available in technical and pharmaceutical-grade specifications aligned with Ph.Eur. monograph requirements. The product falls under REACH regulation and is classified under HS code 29350090. Procurement teams should confirm grade suitability against application-specific purity thresholds before ordering.
