Calcium Hypochlorite 70% (Cal Hypo) is a powerful solid disinfectant and bleaching agent supplied by Alkemist KSA. As a leading wholesale dealer, we provide high-quality, stabilized Calcium Hypochlorite, which is widely used for water treatment, sanitation, and as a strong oxidizing agent. It is a more stable and convenient alternative to liquid bleach (sodium hypochlorite).
DANGER: STRONG OXIDIZER & CORROSIVE. Calcium Hypochlorite is a strong oxidizing agent that can react violently with organic materials and other chemicals. It is corrosive and can cause severe skin and eye damage. Never mix with other chemicals. Always add the chemical to water, never water to the chemical. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from flammable materials. Request the MSDS for full safety details.
Calcium Hypochlorite is a solid (granular or tablet) with a higher concentration of available chlorine (65-70%) and is more stable for storage. Sodium Hypochlorite is a liquid with a lower chlorine concentration (typically 10-15%) that degrades more quickly over time.
To shock a pool, you typically pre-dissolve the required amount of Calcium Hypochlorite granules in a bucket of water (always add chemical to water, not the other way around) and then pour the solution evenly around the edges of the pool, preferably in the evening to prevent UV degradation.
Yes, Calcium Hypochlorite is a standard chemical used globally for the disinfection of municipal drinking water supplies. When dosed correctly, it effectively kills harmful pathogens, making the water safe to drink. The chlorine levels are carefully monitored to ensure they are within safe limits.
As a strong oxidizer, it can react dangerously with many substances. Mixing it with acid, for example, will release toxic chlorine gas. Mixing it with organic materials like oil or grease can cause a fire or explosion. It should always be stored and handled separately.
This percentage indicates the amount of chlorine in the product that is available to act as a disinfectant. A 70% concentration is a high-strength formulation, meaning a smaller amount of the product is needed to achieve the desired level of sanitation compared to lower-concentration alternatives.
