Trichloromelamine Applications

Trichloromelamine possesses potent oxidizing properties, which make it an ideal ingredient in several products focused on hygiene. The key uses of TCM include:

Sanitizer manufacturing: As an oxidizing agent, trichloromelamine oxidizes the cell membranes of pathogens, effectively destroying their cell structure and eradicating the microorganism. Due to this property, TCM is utilized to manufacture sanitizers used as equipment and surface cleaners in the food and medical industries.
Biocide production: Trichloromelamine is also an active ingredient in several pesticides. Through the same oxidative strength, the compound works to eliminate fungi and bacteria capable of harming crops, making it a great option for pesticides in the agricultural sector.
Water treatment: The substance that carries the IUPAC name 2,4,6-Tris(chloroamino)-1,3,5-triazine is also employed in water treatment to provide clean drinking water. By denaturing and destroying bacteria, the compound improves the safety of water.

Safety Handling

Due to its unstable nature, trichloromelamine is a substance that requires great caution when handling. This substance, with a CAS # 7673-09-08, is generally stable at room temperature and under normal pressure. When handling the substance, use protective equipment like splash goggles and gloves. Since the chemical is in powder form, inhalation may easily occur, so we advise the use of a NIOSH respirator equipped with a dust filter. Remember to wear an additional layer, like a laboratory coat, over your clothing.

When you have completed using the substance, store it in an airtight or tightly-closing container, away from direct light and any flammable substances. Clean away any small traces with a damp material containing acetic acid before using water and soap. Wash your own hands thoroughly after usage, even if there is no suspected spillage. In the event of significant spillage, evacuate the room and contact a safety officer immediately.

About Iofina

Iofina is an industry leader in the extraction of iodine and the production of derivative halogens. Since the first day, we have focused on acting with integrity to serve our customers. Collaborating with Iofina means:

Increased production: We have over nine IOsorb^® plants across Oklahoma, which ensures that we produce chemicals faster to meet the increasing demands of the iodine industry.
Environmental focus: We focus on utilizing aqueous-based chemistries instead of organic solvents, which are better for the environment. When evaporated, organic solvents can release fumes that have the possibility of creating ground-level ozone, which is an air pollutant.
Quality products: Iofina is committed to quality. We prioritize manufacturing quality products to ensure we are offering you the best products on the market.
