What is Chlorinated Isocyanurate?

Chlorinated isocyanurates are highly effective, stable chlorine-releasing compounds used primarily as sanitizers, disinfectants, and bleaches. The two most common forms are trichlor and dichlor. When dissolved in water, they release hypochlorous acid to kill bacteria, viruses, and algae. What makes them unique is their ability to act as a built-in chlorine stabilizer (cyanuric acid), protecting the active chlorine from rapid degradation caused by sunlight. Because they are dry, solid granules or tablets, they are easy and safe to store. They are widely used in swimming pools, industrial water systems, and heavy-duty household cleaning products.
