Chlorine Lime (Calcium Hypochlorite) – Premium Disinfectant & Water Sanitiser
Chlorine Lime, professionally known as Calcium Hypochlorite or High-Test Hypochlorite (HTH), is a highly effective, dry chemical compound used globally for powerful water sanitisation and industrial disinfection. This chemical releases a concentrated dose of free available chlorine when dissolved, making it lethal to bacteria, viruses, algae, and protozoa.
Optimized for safety and stability, Brand Chemical Supplies provides premium-grade Chlorine Lime engineered to meet the demanding requirements of South Africa’s municipal water treatment, commercial swimming pools, agriculture, and mining sectors.
Key Applications
-
- Municipal Drinking Water Care: Serves as a vital disinfectant for purifying public drinking water reservoirs, well networks, and rural water supply lines.
- Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Destroys organic pollutants, neutralizes dangerous chemical by-products, and sanitises industrial effluent before environmental discharge.
- Commercial & Public Pools: Rapidly controls algae blooms and pathogens to maintain safe, crystal-clear swimming water.
- Agricultural Disinfection: Sanitises irrigation channels, washes post-harvest produce to minimize decay, and thoroughly cleans livestock housing and equipment.
- Mining & Metallurgical Processes: Used to neutralize toxic cyanide complexes safely in gold and base-metal extraction circuits.

Features and Benefits
-
- High-Purity Efficiency: Packed with up to 70% active chlorine content, requiring far less physical product to achieve rapid bacterial and pathogentic kill rates.
- Excellent Stability Profile: Specially formulated to offer a prolonged shelf life under appropriate dry storage conditions compared to liquid sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
- Powerful Algae Elimination: Destroys persistent organic matter and eliminates algae infestations swiftly, restoring water clarity.
- Secondary Hardness Support: The calcium base provides slight structural hardness adjustments, which aids in buffering soft water and minimizing pipe corrosion.
Safe Handling & Storage Guidelines
-
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space. Keep containers tightly closed. Strictly isolate this chemical from any organic compounds, acids, solvents, or petroleum products, as contact can cause a rapid chemical fire.
- Handling: Wear robust personal protective equipment (PPE), including acid/alkali-resistant gloves, chemical splash goggles, apron, and an approved dust respirator. Never mix water into the chemical; always add the chemical slowly into a large volume of water.
