Description

Lithium Hypochlorite is a powerful inorganic oxidizing agent with the chemical formula LiOCl. This compound is valued for its high active chlorine content and stability in solid form, making it a potent and convenient source of chlorine for demanding disinfection and oxidation processes. It is primarily utilized in industries requiring powerful bleaching, sanitization, and water treatment solutions, such as swimming pool maintenance, industrial cleaning, and specialty chemical synthesis. Its unique lithium-based chemistry offers distinct handling and solubility characteristics compared to other hypochlorite salts.

Application

• Swimming Pool & Spa Sanitization: Used as a stable, solid-form chlorine shock treatment and algicide for commercial and residential pools.
• Industrial & Institutional Water Treatment: Effective for disinfecting cooling tower water, process water, and wastewater effluent.
• Bleaching Agent: Employed in the textile and pulp & paper industries for bleaching fabrics and fibers.
• Surface Disinfection: A key ingredient in formulated industrial cleaners and disinfectants for hard surfaces.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a selective oxidizing agent in the production of specialty organic and inorganic compounds.
• Mold & Mildew Remediation: Used in professional-grade products for controlling biological growth in damp environments.

Quality Control

Our Lithium Hypochlorite is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. The product is tested against rigorous in-house specifications for key parameters such as active chlorine content, moisture, and impurity levels. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Isolate from incompatible materials such as acids, reducing agents, and organic compounds. Due to its oxidizing nature and sensitivity to moisture, the container must be kept tightly sealed and stored under conditions that prevent caking or decomposition.
