Chloramine-T (CAS 127-65-1) is a Technical Grade organic chlorine donor supplied as a white to off-white powder with a chlorine-like odor, releasing active chlorine slowly for long-lasting antimicrobial action against bacteria, viruses and parasites; it serves water treatment, surface disinfection and odor control. This white crystalline powder is highly effective against a wide range of pathogens , including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It is widely used in aquaculture and veterinary hygiene for its low toxicity to higher organisms. As a versatile biocide , it is also used for odor control and as an oxidizing reagent in chemical synthesis. Its stability in storage makes it a reliable alternative to liquid bleach for professional disinfection.
