    Why calcium hypochlorite instead of liquid hypochlorite for an export load?

    A kilogram of 65–70% calcium hypochlorite carries about five times the available chlorine of a kilogram of 12–15% sodium hypochlorite, so a truck moves far more chlorine per tonne. As a dry solid in sealed drums it also keeps its strength much longer than liquid hypochlorite, which loses strength within weeks in Gulf summer heat. The trade-off is handling: it is an oxidiser that must be kept sealed, dry, shaded and apart from acids, TCCA, fuels and organic matter, and it is always added to water, never water to the product.

    What documents come with every consignment?

    Each load travels with a Certificate of Analysis giving the available chlorine, a GHS Safety Data Sheet in English and Arabic, an HS-coded commercial invoice and the dangerous-goods transport documents. The product is imported into the GCC; it travels with the first-entry customs declaration showing duty paid, and import VAT is accounted for by the importer.

    Many use both. TCCA tablets in a feeder sanitise daily, because their cyanuric acid stabiliser slows chlorine loss in sunlight; calcium hypochlorite granules shock the pool weekly or after heavy use, because they add no stabiliser. Pools with a dosing pump often run on sodium hypochlorite instead.

    A Certificate of Analysis giving the available chlorine, a GHS Safety Data Sheet in English and Arabic, an HS-coded commercial invoice, the dangerous-goods transport documents, and the documents showing customs duty paid at first entry into the GCC.

    Calcium hypochlorite granules at 65–70% available chlorine, unstabilised, for pool shock and disinfection, and a water-treatment grade at 65–75% available chlorine with moisture below 10%. CAS 7778-54-3. The Certificate of Analysis states the available chlorine of each batch.

    As a Class 5.1 oxidiser, under UN 2880 (hydrated) or UN 1748 (dry), or UN 3487 / UN 3485 where it is also classed corrosive (Class 8), as stated in section 14 of its Safety Data Sheet, in sealed UN-approved drums kept dry and shaded. It reacts violently with acids, TCCA, ammonia, fuels and organic matter, so on a mixed load it is stowed apart from all of them.
