Hypochlorites; commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorites

HS code 282810 covers the production and trade of hypochlorites, including commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorites. These chemical compounds are widely used in a variety of industries, from water treatment and disinfection to bleaching and oxidation processes. As an essential component in many industrial and commercial applications, the 282810 industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader global economy.

The production of hypochlorites and calcium hypochlorites typically involves the reaction of chlorine gas with a base, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide. This process generates the desired hypochlorite compounds, which are then purified and packaged for distribution. Manufacturers may also employ electrolytic methods to produce hypochlorites directly from brine solutions.

The main inputs required for the 282810 industry include chlorine gas, lime or other calcium-based compounds, and energy sources to power the production processes. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, filtration systems, and packaging machinery, are also essential for the efficient manufacture of these chemical products.

The primary outputs of the 282810 industry are various forms of hypochlorites, including sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, and other commercial-grade hypochlorite solutions. These compounds are widely used as disinfectants, bleaching agents, and oxidizing agents in a range of industries, including 282490 Inorganic chemical products, n.e.c., 281511 (Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)), and 360610 Matches. The hypochlorites produced under HS code 282810 are crucial inputs for maintaining public health, water quality, and industrial processes.
