Calcium Hypochlorite (Cal Hypo)

Premium Calcium Hypochlorite (Cal Hypo) – Bulk Disinfection Solutions

Welcome to your trusted manufacturing source for high-efficacy Calcium Hypochlorite, universally recognized across global commercial markets as Cal Hypo. Engineered to deliver exceptional oxidation potential, active chlorine release, and rapid disinfection, our line of Cal Hypo products serves industrial water treatment facilities, municipal utilities, commercial aquatic centers, and agricultural enterprises worldwide.

What is Calcium Hypochlorite (Cal Hypo)?

Calcium Hypochlorite, commonly abbreviated as Cal Hypo (chemical formula: Ca(ClO)₂), is one of the most reliable and cost-effective solid chlorine disinfectants available on the international market. Unlike liquid bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite), high-grade Cal Hypo delivers higher concentrations of active available chlorine—typically ranging from 65% to 70%—in a stable solid format.

Key Advantages of Commercial Cal Hypo:

• High Active Chlorine Content: Reduces freight overhead and logistics costs per unit of effective disinfectant.
• Superior Storage Stability: Designed for extended shelf life under appropriate dry storage conditions compared to liquid options.
• Fast-Acting Oxidation: Rapidly eliminates pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, algae, and organic contaminants.
• Flexible Dosing Formats: Available in granular and tablet forms to fit automated chemical feeding systems or manual shock dosing.

Main B2B Applications for Cal Hypo

Our industrial-grade Cal Hypo products are widely deployed across major global sectors:

1. Commercial & Municipal Swimming Pools: Primary choice for routine pool sanitization and periodic shock treatment to rapidly destroy chloramines and algae blooms.
2. Drinking Water & Wastewater Treatment: Effective biological agent for disinfecting municipal water supply systems, industrial effluents, and sewage discharge.
3. Industrial Cooling Towers: Controls bio-fouling, organic slime buildup, and microbial risks (such as Legionella) in industrial recirculating water loops.
4. Sanitation in Agriculture & Food Industry: Used for wash-water disinfection in fruit and vegetable packing plants, livestock housing hygiene, and equipment sanitization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary difference between Cal Hypo granules and tablets?

A: Granular Cal Hypo dissolves quickly for rapid shock treatment and immediate chlorination, whereas Cal Hypo tablets provide slow, sustained release of active chlorine for continuous feeding systems.

Q2: What is the shelf life of Calcium Hypochlorite?

A: When stored in sealed original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from organic fuels and direct sunlight, high-quality Cal Hypo maintains its nominal chlorine concentration over long storage periods.

Q3: What is the main difference between Cal Hypo and TCCA or SDIC?

A: Cal Hypo (Calcium Hypochlorite) is an inorganic, non-stabilized chlorine disinfectant that provides rapid chlorine release without introducing cyanuric acid (CYA) to the water system. In contrast, TCCA and SDIC are organic, cyanuric-acid-stabilized chlorine sources, which prevent UV degradation in outdoor pools but can cause CYA over-stabilization over time.

Q4: What options do you offer for Cal Hypo packaging and container shipping?

A: As an experienced Dangerous Goods (DG Class 5.1) exporter, we provide UN-approved HDPE plastic drums (10kg, 25kg, 45kg, and 50kg) with inner moisture-proof liners. We also offer fully customized OEM drum colors, private labels, and optimized palletized or unpalletized container loading layouts to maximize freight cost efficiency.

Q5: How do you guarantee active chlorine stability during long-distance ocean transit?

A: Our Calcium Hypochlorite is manufactured using the advanced sodium process, yielding a hydrated form (5.5%–10% moisture content) that significantly improves thermal stability and resistance to decomposition. Each batch undergoes rigorous QA testing before loading, complete with a COA (Certificate of Analysis) and Class 5.1 DG transport compliance certificates.

Q6: Can I request samples before placing a full container load (FCL) bulk order?

A: Yes. We provide complimentary sample testing batches for qualified industrial buyers, distributors, and municipal contractors. Contact our sales engineers to arrange sample delivery along with our complete Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
