Description

Tribromocyanuric Acid is a potent brominating and oxidizing agent, valued for its high active bromine content and controlled reactivity. This compound is essential for processes requiring a stable, solid source of bromine for selective halogenation and disinfection. It serves critical functions in the water treatment, polymer synthesis, and specialty chemical manufacturing industries.

Application

• Swimming Pool and Spa Sanitization: Used as a slow-release bromine source in tablets or sticks for effective control of bacteria and algae.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Acts as a powerful biocide and algicide in cooling towers, process water, and wastewater systems.
• Organic Synthesis: Serves as a selective brominating agent for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dye intermediates.
• Flame Retardant Production: A key intermediate in the synthesis of brominated flame retardants for plastics and textiles.
• Pulp and Paper Processing: Employed as a slimicide and bleaching aid in pulp mills.
• Oil Field Applications: Used for microbial control in drilling fluids and water injection systems.

Quality Control

Our Tribromocyanuric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for active bromine content, purity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, impurity profile, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and performance for your application.

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. This material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and is incompatible with strong acids and organic solvents. Keep container tightly sealed to minimize moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
