Product description

Cyanuric acid, also known as 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triol, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C3H3N3O3. It is a white, odorless solid that is soluble in water.
  • Function: Cyanuric acid is primarily used as a stabilizer for chlorine-based disinfectants, such as chlorine bleach and chlorine tablets. It helps to slow down the degradation of free chlorine in swimming pools, spas, and other water treatment applications by forming a complex with the chlorine, protecting it from the degrading effects of sunlight and other factors.
  • Application: Cyanuric acid is commonly used in outdoor pools and spas to extend the lifespan of chlorine sanitizers. By stabilizing the chlorine, it helps maintain a more consistent level of disinfection over time, reducing the need for frequent reapplication of chlorine and minimizing the risk of bacterial growth in the water.
  • Characteristics: Cyanuric acid is a stable compound that is relatively inert under normal conditions. It is non-toxic and non-flammable, making it safe to handle and store. It has a slightly acidic pH and is compatible with most chlorine-based disinfectants.
  • Usage: Cyanuric acid is typically added to swimming pools and spas in granular or powdered form. The dosage depends on factors such as the size of the pool, the level of sunlight exposure, and the desired stabilizer concentration. It is important to maintain the cyanuric acid concentration within recommended levels to ensure optimal disinfection and water quality.
