Product Overview
Bleaching powder is a versatile laboratory chemical primarily used for disinfection and oxidation processes. Composed of calcium hypochlorite, it releases chlorine when dissolved in water, making it effective for sterilization and bleaching applications. This laboratory-grade powder ensures high purity and consistency, suitable for precise experimental requirements. It is commonly employed in water treatment, surface sanitization, and chemical synthesis due to its strong oxidizing properties. The powder form allows for easy dissolution and controlled dosing in lab settings. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances to maintain stability. Always handle with appropriate safety gear, including gloves and goggles, as it can be corrosive and release toxic fumes when mixed with acids or organic materials.
