Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) is a highly effective chemical, but like all potent disinfectants, it requires careful handling and proper storage to ensure safety and maintain its efficacy. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides essential guidelines for the safe use of TCCA.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): When handling TCCA, it is crucial to wear appropriate personal protective equipment. This includes chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or a face shield to protect the eyes from splashes or dust, and protective clothing. In situations where dust may be generated, such as when handling the powder form, a respirator or dust mask is highly recommended to prevent inhalation.

Handling Precautions:

  • Avoid Dust Formation: Handle TCCA carefully to minimize the generation of dust. If dust is present, ensure adequate ventilation.
  • Never Mix with Other Chemicals: TCCA is a strong oxidizing agent and can react dangerously with other chemicals. Never mix TCCA with acids, alkalis, organic materials, ammonia-containing compounds, or other oxidizing agents, as this can lead to the release of toxic gases or even violent reactions.
  • Add Chemical to Water, Not Vice Versa: When preparing solutions, always add TCCA to water slowly, never the other way around. Adding water to TCCA can cause a concentrated exothermic reaction.
  • Use Dedicated Equipment: Use clean, dry, and dedicated scoops or equipment for handling TCCA to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Adequate Ventilation: Always handle TCCA in a well-ventilated area to prevent the accumulation of fumes or dust.

Storage Guidelines:

  • Cool, Dry, and Ventilated Area: Store TCCA in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or ignition.
  • Keep Containers Tightly Closed: Ensure that TCCA containers are always kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to degradation and reduce efficacy.
  • Store Away from Incompatible Materials: Store TCCA separately from incompatible substances such as organic materials, flammable substances, acids, alkalis, and reducing agents.
  • Original Packaging: It is best to store TCCA in its original, properly labeled container.
  • Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Store TCCA in a secure location inaccessible to children and pets.

Emergency Procedures: In case of accidental contact, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific first-aid measures. For spills, contain the material and dispose of it according to local regulations, avoiding mixing with other waste materials. Proper emergency preparedness is crucial.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. strongly advises adherence to these safety guidelines to ensure the safe and effective use of TCCA, protecting both personnel and the environment, while maintaining the product's high quality.
