Sodium dichloroisocyanurate can be used as a reagent for N-monochlorination and dehydrochlorination of amino esters. It is also a reagent for chlorination to detect ammonium via formation of colored zebra-bands in a detecting tube.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate can be used as a reagent for N-monochlorination and dehydrochlorination of amino esters, synthesis of antimicrobial polyurethane additives to control biofilm. It is used as a emergency disinfectant in drinking water, widely used cleansing agent. It is also a reagent for chlorination to detect ammonium via formation of colored zebra-bands in a detecting tube.
Solubility
Soluble in water.
Notes
Store in a cool, dry conditions, in well sealed conditions. Store away from oxidizing agents.
