Hypochlorites; commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorites

HS v2022 Code: 282810

About hypochlorites; commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorites

HS code 282810 covers a range of chemical compounds known as hypochlorites, including commercial calcium hypochlorite and other calcium hypochlorites. These substances are widely used in various industries, from water treatment and disinfection to bleaching and oxidation processes. As an essential component in the production of many everyday products, the hypochlorites industry plays a crucial role in the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of hypochlorites typically involves the reaction of chlorine gas with a base, such as calcium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, to form the desired hypochlorite compound. This process is often carried out in a controlled environment, with careful monitoring of temperature, pH, and other parameters to ensure the desired product quality and purity. The resulting hypochlorite solution may then undergo further purification or concentration steps, depending on the specific application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hypochlorites include chlorine gas, calcium hydroxide or other alkaline compounds, and water. Additionally, specialized equipment such as reactors, filtration systems, and storage tanks are necessary for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these raw materials and equipment can significantly impact the overall production and supply of hypochlorites.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 282810 is hypochlorite compounds, which are used in a wide range of applications. These include 282820 Chlorites and 282890 Other inorganic oxygen compounds of non-metals, which may consume hypochlorites as an input for their own production processes. Hypochlorites are also widely used in water treatment, disinfection, and bleaching applications, making them an essential component in the 284700 Disinfectants, 340220 Washing preparations, including auxiliary washing preparations, and 540700 Woven fabrics of man-made filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04 industries.
