What are Calcium Hypochlorite Briquettes?

Calcium Hypochlorite Briquettes are large, high-density compressed disinfectant blocks engineered for heavy-duty water treatment and long-term chlorination applications. These advanced briquette formulations feature densely compressed calcium hypochlorite with specialized binding agents and stabilizers, ensuring extended dissolution periods and sustained chlorine release in large-volume water systems.

The briquette form provides exceptional durability and longevity, making it ideal for industrial cooling towers, large swimming pools, municipal water storage facilities, and continuous treatment applications requiring minimal maintenance intervention. Each briquette delivers consistent chlorine levels through controlled dissolution over weeks or months, providing cost-effective long-term disinfection with reduced labor requirements and operational oversight.
