Disinfectants

Chloramine-T

Chloramine-T trihydrate (N-Chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide sodium salt) is an organic compound used as a powerful disinfectant and antiseptic. It is commonly employed to eliminate harmful microorganisms and maintain hygiene standards. The compound works by forming hypochlorous acid and directly releasing active chlorine species that oxidize and disrupt the cell membranes of microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. This reaction effectively kills microorganisms and prevents them from spreading. 

Due to its disinfectant properties, Chloramine-T proves to be an effective solution for combating pathogens and promoting cleanliness in diverse applications, such as:

• Medical facilities: Chloramine-T is used for sterilizing and disinfecting medical equipment. 
• Water treatment: The chloramines in the compound reduce waterborne pathogens when added to water systems. 
• Aquaculture and aquafarming: Chloramine-T can treat external bacterial infections in salmonid fish, such as trout and white fish. 

Potassium Iodide

Potassium iodide is a chemical compound primarily used to treat thyroid issues and radiation emergencies. However, it can also serve as a disinfectant. Potassium iodide releases iodine, a powerful antimicrobial agent. The iodine attacks and destroys bacteria, viruses and fungi, preventing their growth and spread. 

The solution is often used to sanitize surfaces and equipment in various industries, such as dairy and medical. Its effectiveness in killing germs makes it crucial for maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of diseases. 

Trichloromelamine

Trichloromelamine is an oxidizing agent that functions primarily as a disinfectant, biocide, and sanitizer for food-contact and non-food-contact applications. It works by oxidizing the proteins and cells of harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, and also targets algae. By disrupting the cellular structure of these microorganisms, trichloromelamine effectively disinfects and sanitizes affected areas.

Trichloromelamine has numerous uses across different applications, including:

• Medical: Trichloromelamine is employed in health care settings to sterilize surfaces and equipment due to its bactericidal properties, which help prevent infections from spreading. 
• Water treatment: In the water treatment industry, trichloromelamine is used to disinfect drinking water and wastewater. By eliminating bacteria and other pathogens, it ensures the cleanliness of water supplies. 
• Agriculture: Trichloromelamine can be utilized as a fungicide or pesticide in agricultural settings. It can control the growth of microorganisms that affect crops, making it ideal for maintaining agricultural productivity.
• Industrial applications: Trichloromelamine is highly effective as a cleaning agent. As a result, it is often used to formulate cleaning solutions for industrial equipment and machinery.
