ACL^® chlorinated isocyanurates

Chlorine is proven to be the best overall disinfectant, germicide, algaicide and anti-slime agent available.

For more than a century chlorine has been used for swimming pool sanitation. Today, it's used in over 90 percent of all residential pools and in the majority of public pools in the United States.

Whether the source of chlorine is gaseous chlorine, liquid chlorine, liquid bleach, calcium hypochlorite or stabilized chlorine, when disolved in water, these products free chlorine. The free chlorine exists as hypochlorous acid, a molecule with excellent sanitizing and oxidizing properties. Chlorine oxidizes and eliminates organic contaminants that cause cloudy water if allowed to build-up in pool water. The free chlorine will also eliminate chloramines from water. Chloramines will cause eye and skin irritation as well as produce offensive odors. Free chlorine can also convert some soluble metallic impurities into insoluble solids which can then be easily removed from the pool water by filtration or vacuuming.

Packaging

ACL products have excellent storage stability. Unlike liquid bleach, ACL will maintain its chlorine content almost indefinetly. Depending upon the grade, ACL may be available in 50 kg., 300 lb. and 441 lb. drums as well as bulk bags.

Precautions

The ACL products are excellent pools and spa sanitizers because of the oxidizing power of the contained chlorine. This unique characteristic can also make these products hazardous chemicals to handle and store. Guidelines for the safe handling and storage of these chemicals is spelled out on the product label, the MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheet) and the Guideline for Safe Handling and Storage by the Chlorinated Sanitizers Industry Safety Committee.For additional information, contact OxyChem.
