TCCA (trichloroisocyanuric acid) is an efficient bactericidal organic compound, appearing as white crystalline powder or granules with a pungent chlorine odor. It is slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents. With good stability, it can slowly release available chlorine and has remarkable bactericidal effects, thus being widely used in water treatment, medical and health care, agriculture, food processing and other fields, such as disinfection, algae control and preservation of agricultural products.
In terms of preparation, the solvent method is the mainstream, which has the advantages of large scale and low pollution. As a major producer and exporter, China occupies an important position in the global market. The global market size exceeded 20.6 billion yuan in 2024, and is expected to maintain growth in the next few years. The industry is moving towards high performance, environmental protection and intelligence.
It should be noted that TCCA is a strong oxidant with strong irritation and combustibility. It is prone to releasing toxic fumes when heated or deliquesced. Therefore, strict compliance with safety regulations is required during operation, and it should be kept away from fire sources, flammable substances and specific chemicals.
