Description
Dichloroisocyanuric acid (CAS 2782-57-2), also known by trade names ACL 70, Ficlor 71, CDB 60, and ORCED, is a chlorine-releasing compound belonging to the oxidizers and peroxides category. It carries no assigned E-code and is registered under EC number 220-487-5 with the molecular formula C3HCl2N3O3.
In water treatment, it releases active chlorine upon dissolution, disinfecting potable water and swimming pools by disrupting microbial cell membranes at low concentrations. In food processing and textile manufacturing, it functions as a bleaching and sanitising agent, oxidising organic matter and colour compounds through controlled chlorine transfer under defined pH conditions.
The compound is available in powder and granular grades suitable for industrial formulation and dosing systems. It falls under REACH regulation and suppliers typically offer documentation aligned with relevant disinfectant and water treatment standards. Packaging formats commonly include 25 kg bags and bulk containers depending on application requirements.
