Description

Chloramine-T trihydrate (CAS 7080-50-4 ), also known as Sodium p-toluenesulfonchloramide, is an active chlorine-releasing compound used commercially as a biocide, disinfectant, and oxidizing agent. It delivers controlled antimicrobial action across regulated industries where precise, stable halogen release is required. In water treatment, it functions as a disinfection agent for potable water systems and process water. Its slower chlorine release reduces disinfection byproduct formation compared to free chlorine. Pharmaceutical and healthcare manufacturers use it to sanitize equipment, surfaces, and production environments under validated cleaning protocols. In food processing facilities, it serves as a surface disinfectant for food-contact materials, helping meet hygiene compliance requirements. Personal care formulators incorporate it as a preservative and bleaching agent. This chemical is utilized in select topical and oral hygiene product lines. The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder with standardized active chlorine content, typically around 25%. It is available in technical and pharmaceutical grades, with pharmaceutical-grade material commonly meeting BP or Ph. Eur. specifications. Packaging ranges from small laboratory quantities to bulk industrial formats. Contact us for supply of Chloramine-T trihydrate Request Quote
