Bromochlorohydantoin CAS#16079-88-2
Bromochlorohydantoin is typically a white to light yellow crystalline powder or granule, with no strong pungent odor. For convenience, some products are formulated as tablets or blocks. It is slightly soluble in water, gradually dissolving to release hypobromous acid (HBrO) and hypochlorous acid (HClO).

Product Usage
Bromochlorohydantoin has a broad range of applications. In water treatment, it is used for sterilization and algae control in industrial circulating water, disinfecting swimming pool water (minimizing irritation and chloramines), maintaining landscape water, and sterilizing oilfield water injection systems to ensure stable operation. In aquaculture, it disinfects water, eliminates harmful microorganisms, improves water quality, and reduces the incidence of disease.
