TCCA 90 Granular Product Overview

TCCA 90 Granular (Trichloroisocyanuric Acid, 90% available chlorine) is a stabilized, chlorine-based disinfectant supplied as free-flowing white granules. It is manufactured for use as a primary sanitizer and oxidizing agent in water systems where fast-acting chlorine release is needed.

  • What it is: A dry chlorine-donor compound (CAS 87-90-1) that releases hypochlorous acid the active disinfecting agent when dissolved in water.
  • What it does: Helps control bacteria, algae and other microorganisms through chlorine-based disinfection.
  • Why granular form:The smaller particle size gives more surface area than tablets, so it dissolves faster making it the preferred format for shock dosing and quick chlorine top-ups rather than slow, continuous feeding.
  • Who uses it: Pool contractors, facility operators, and distributors who need bulk, consistent-quality chlorine granules for pool and water treatment use.

How to Use TCCA 90 Granular (Usage)?

  • Always pre-dissolve granules in a separate container of water before adding to a pool do not add dry granules directly to pool water.
  • Add the dissolved solution gradually while circulation/filtration is running.
  • Typical shock dose: 5–10 g per 1,000 litres of pool water, adjusted based on chlorine demand and free chlorine test results.
  • Test free chlorine and pH after treatment; ideal pool free chlorine range is generally 1–3 ppm.
  • For industrial or drinking water use, dosing should follow site-specific water treatment protocols consult your process engineer.

(This is general usage guidance, not a substitute for the full Safety Data Sheet or a site-specific dosing plan.)
