Overview
Calcium hypochlorite is an inorganic compound with formula Ca(ClO)2. It is the main active ingredient of commercial products called bleaching powder, chlorine powder, or chlorinated lime, used for water treatment and as a bleaching agents.
Applications
1) It is used for bleaching dirty clothes in the laundry, as a bleaching agent for cotton and linen in the textile industry.
2) It is a strong oxidizing agent hence used as an oxidizer in many industries.
3) It is used as a disinfectant which is used for disinfecting water to make potable water.
Dosage and directions
concentration of chlorine than ordinary bleaching powder - typically 65 to 70 predictable rate, enabling addition of a measured dose to a water supply.
Characteristics and notes
Bleaching powder also known as chlorinated lime is a yellowish-white powder easily soluble in water. ... It is not hygroscopic, if kept under 40o C.It is mainly used as a bleaching agent and as a disinfectant. The major use of bleaching powder is in paper industry, textile industry and oil industry.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

Soluble in water. May cause fire in contact with organic material or ammonium
compounds. Substances are liable to exothermic decomposition at elevated
temperatures. This condition may lead to fire or explosion. Decomposition can be
initiated by heat or by impurities (e.g. powdered metals (iron, manganese, cobalt,
magnesium) and their compounds). Liable to heat slowly. Reacts with acids,
evolving chlorine, an irritating, corrosive and toxic gas. In the presence of moisture,
corrosive to most metals. Dust irritates mucous membranes.
