Dichloroisocyanurate (sodium)

Dichloroisocyanurate sodium is a synthetic organochlorine compound belonging to triazine derivatives, and is commonly used as a disinfectant and biocide. Dichloroisocyanurate sodium can release hypochlorous acid to inactivate waterborne bacteria, viruses, helminths and protozoa, and can act as a hypochlorous acid reservoir to provide sustained biocidal protection^[1][2]. In Vitro:Sodium dichloroisocyanurate exhibits excellent antimicrobial activity against a variety of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, and its activity is not affected by temperature or pH^[1].
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate exhibits excellent disinfection activity against various microorganisms on fresh vegetables^[1].
Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (30 min) eliminates all coliforms and E. coli from low-turbidity water, and reduces the viable count in raw river water by 1.8-2.8 log units^[1]. In Vivo:Dichloroisocyanurate sodium (0.4-10.0 mg/m³; whole-body inhalation; 6 hours/day, 7 days/week; 90 days) causes concentration-dependent pulmonary and systemic effects in Sprague-Dawley/Crl:CD rats, with a no observed adverse effect concentration (NOAEC) of 2.0 mg/m³ for both sexes^[2].
