What is Liquid Chlorine?

Liquid Chlorine is a highly effective disinfectant and oxidizing agent primarily composed of chlorine dissolved in a liquid carrier, typically water or a suitable solvent. It is widely used for water treatment, sanitation, and industrial processes due to its strong antimicrobial properties.

Liquid chlorine serves as a powerful oxidizer, capable of killing bacteria, viruses, algae, and other pathogens in water systems, making it indispensable for municipal drinking water treatment, wastewater management, and swimming pool sanitation. It also finds applications in bleaching and chemical synthesis.

Manufactured by compressing and liquefying gaseous chlorine under controlled conditions, liquid chlorine is stored and transported in specialized containers to maintain its stability and prevent hazardous releases. Its strong reactivity requires careful handling, as it can cause severe irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory systems upon exposure.
