Molecular Formula: 3Ca(ClO) 2 .2Ca(OH) 2
Molecular Weight: 577
CAS Number:7778-54-3
Appearance: white or gray white powder/granulars
Packing: in 40kgs net plastic drums.
Safety:Calcium hypochlorite is best kept in a cool dry place away from any organic material. It is known to undergo self heating and rapid decomposition accompanied by the release of toxic chlorine gas.
