What is Chlorine Ca(OCl)2?
Chlorine (chemical name Calcium Hypochlorite, formula Ca(OCl)2, CAS 7778-54-3) is an inorganic compound that exists as a white powder or tablet, soluble in water and releasing active chlorine (in the form of hypochlorous acid HOCl and OCl⁻ ion) — the main disinfectant in water treatment. In the market, the product is also known by trade names such as chlorine bleaching powder, HTH, or industrial Calcium Hypochlorite.
Unlike Javen (Sodium Hypochlorite NaOCl) — a liquid solution with low active chlorine content (10–12.5%) and prone to decomposition — Chlorine in solid form is concentrated, with 5–7 times higher active chlorine content per kg of product, reducing transportation costs and extending shelf life when stored properly. This is why many remote water supply stations and aquaculture farms prefer powdered Chlorine over liquid Javen for storage needs.
Chlorine Cá Heo Super Chlor is a Chlorine Ca(OCl)2 line supplied by Hóa Chất Lộc Thiên, with active chlorine content ≥70% (70% min), origin China, packed in 45kg drums. Lộc Thiên supplies this product to factories, water supply stations, aquaculture farms, and wastewater treatment units nationwide — see specifications and order directly at the product page Chlorine Cá Heo Ca(OCl)2 China.

Active chlorine content ≥70% is the most important specification when buying Chlorine — it is the basis for accurate dosage calculation and true price comparison between suppliers (see the Reference Price List & How to Calculate Chlorine Price section for conversion methods). Each batch of Chlorine Cá Heo Super Chlor at Lộc Thiên comes with MSDS/COA provided upon request, allowing B2B customers to verify actual content before stocking.
Trần Minh Tuấn — Head of Technical Department, Hóa Chất Lộc Thiên: “When customers ask about buying chlorine, the first question we ask back is what the active chlorine content is and what it will be used for — water supply, aquaculture ponds, or wastewater treatment. Because the dosage and frequency of chlorine dosing directly depend on this number; a one-size-fits-all formula cannot be applied. With Chlorine ≥70% active chlorine, one 45kg drum is equivalent to the active chlorine content of about 3–3.5 drums of 12% Javen of the same weight — this is the figure customers need to compare actual costs.”
Where to Buy Chlorine? 3 Criteria for Choosing a Supplier
Chlorine is a strong oxidizing chemical; errors in storage or purchasing from sources with unclear content can cause significant damage to water treatment systems or ponds. When looking for where to buy Chlorine, check these 3 criteria:
- Has COA/MSDS per batch — COA confirms the actual active chlorine content of the specific batch (not just what’s printed on the package), MSDS provides chemical safety information for the internal management records of the factory or farm.
- Warehouse near the usage area — Powdered Chlorine is more stable than Javen but still gradually loses active chlorine content over storage time, especially in hot, humid environments. A nearby supply source reduces storage time before reaching the customer.
- Has experience serving your specific application industry — a supplier that serves water supply, aquaculture, and wastewater treatment will advise dosage according to application specifics, avoiding inappropriate one-size-fits-all dosing.
Hóa Chất Lộc Thiên (Tax ID 0313650856) supplies Chlorine Cá Heo Super Chlor Ca(OCl)2 to factories, water supply stations, aquaculture farms, and wastewater treatment units nationwide, with COA/MSDS per batch provided upon customer request.
Reference Price List & How to Calculate Chlorine Price
Chlorine prices are not fixed — they fluctuate based on order volume, delivery area, and raw material market conditions. Below is a reference price range based on common market specifications:
| Specification | Reference Price* |
|---|---|
| 45kg drum — small quantity (1-5 drums) | Contact for a quote based on specific batch |
| 45kg drum — large quantity (industrial orders, by ton) | Contact for volume discount pricing |
*Source: survey of market prices for industrial Chlorine in Vietnam, September 2026 (compiled from multiple suppliers) — this is NOT the official selling price of Hóa Chất Lộc Thiên. Actual price depends on the specific contract, volume, and delivery point. See how to contact for a quote at the end of the article.
How to compare quotes correctly: convert to price per kg of active chlorine instead of comparing price per kg of raw product. A drum of Chlorine ≥70% active chlorine may be “more expensive” in price per kg compared to Javen 10-12%, but much cheaper in price per kg of actual active chlorine — the figure that truly reflects operational disinfection cost. For example: a 45kg drum of 70% Chlorine contains 31.5kg of active chlorine, while 45kg of 12% Javen contains only 5.4kg of active chlorine — a nearly 6-fold difference.
Practical Applications of Chlorine in Water Treatment
Disinfection of Drinking Water and Water Supply
Chlorine is dosed into water after filtration to kill pathogenic microorganisms (E. coli, Coliform, intestinal pathogens) before distribution to users. At remote or small-scale water supply stations that have not installed automatic chlorine gas or Javen dosing systems, powdered Chlorine is a practical choice because it is easy to transport, easy to mix manually, and does not require complex dosing pump equipment.
Aquaculture — Pond Treatment for Shrimp and Fish
In aquaculture, Chlorine is used to treat ponds before stocking (eliminating residual pests, pathogens, parasites from the previous crop) and to treat incoming water. This is one of the most common applications of powdered Chlorine in shrimp and pangasius farming areas in the Mekong Delta and coastal provinces — where Chlorine is easier to store and transport than liquid Javen over long distances.
Hospital and Food Facility Sanitation
Chlorine is used to prepare disinfectant solutions for surfaces, tools, and production areas in hospitals and food processing facilities — where rapid and thorough disinfection is required. The concentration varies by purpose: routine surface disinfection uses lower concentrations than disinfection of high-risk areas (isolation wards, medical waste treatment areas).
Wastewater Treatment — Organic Oxidation, Odor Control
In wastewater treatment, Chlorine acts as an oxidizing agent to break down odor-causing organic compounds (H2S, reduced sulfur compounds) and to disinfect wastewater after biological treatment before discharge into receiving waters, meeting microbiological standards (Coliform, E. coli) in wastewater regulations.
Case Study: Disinfecting Aquaculture Ponds with Chlorine
A shrimp farm with a 5,000 m³ pond in a coastal aquaculture area in the Western region uses Chlorine Ca(OCl)2 ≥70% to treat the pond before a new crop. The procedure is as follows:
- Drain the pond, dry the pond bottom for 5-7 days to remove accumulated organic matter from the previous crop.
- Fill the pond with water to the required level, measure the actual water volume before calculating the Chlorine dosage.
- Calculate Chlorine dosage based on a target concentration of 20-30 ppm active chlorine for full pond disinfection — for a 5,000 m³ pond and 70% active chlorine Chlorine, the required amount ranges from 140-215 kg (equivalent to 3-5 drums of 45kg), depending on the level of bottom contamination and the density of pests to be treated.
- Dissolve Chlorine in water before broadcasting over the pond, avoid spreading dry powder directly to prevent uneven distribution.
- Wait 5-7 days for residual chlorine to completely dissipate before stocking shrimp post-larvae — check with a residual chlorine test kit, ensure the concentration is 0 ppm to avoid killing the newly stocked shrimp.
Result: The pond met the requirements for eliminating residual pests and pathogens, with no signs of disease detected in the first 30 days of the new crop. The cost of pond treatment with Chlorine was lower than using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) for the same area, and the decomposition time of residual Chlorine was easier to control with a standard test kit.
Note: Actual dosage needs to be adjusted according to water pH, temperature, bottom organic matter content, and recommendations from aquaculture technicians — the above figures are references from theoretical calculations based on ≥70% active chlorine content and do not replace specific technical guidance for each pond.
Disinfection Dosage by Application
Chlorine dosage depends on the purpose, incoming water quality, and required microbiological output. The table below provides reference levels calculated as active chlorine (ppm = mg/L active chlorine, not mg/L of raw product):
| Application | Reference Dosage (active chlorine) |
|---|---|
| Disinfection of drinking water/water supply | 0.5-2 ppm (maintain residual chlorine after 30 min contact) |
| Pre-crop pond treatment (disinfection) | 20-30 ppm |
| Disinfection of incoming water for active ponds | 1-3 ppm |
| Wastewater disinfection before discharge | 5-10 ppm |
| Routine surface/tool sanitation | 100-200 ppm (prepared solution) |
How to calculate actual dosage from 70% Chlorine: to achieve X ppm active chlorine in V m³ of water, the required mass of 70% Chlorine = (X × V) / 700 (kg), because 1 kg of 70% Chlorine contains 0.7 kg active chlorine = 700g. For example, to achieve 20 ppm in a 1,000 m³ pond: (20 × 1,000) / 700 ≈ 28.6 kg of 70% Chlorine.
Specific dosages always need to be adjusted according to actual conditions (temperature, pH, organic load, chlorine demand of the water) — it is advisable to test on a small scale or consult a technician before full-scale application to the entire system.
Storage & Safety When Using Chlorine
Chlorine Ca(OCl)2 is a strong oxidizing agent that can cause fire or exothermic decomposition if in contact with organic materials, oils, or if stored improperly. Principles for safe storage and use:
Storage:
- Keep in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight — high temperatures accelerate decomposition, reducing active chlorine content over time.
- Seal the drum tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption — Chlorine that absorbs moisture will cake and lose active chlorine content.
- Absolutely do not store near flammable materials, oils, acids, or ammonia — reactions can produce toxic chlorine gas or cause fire/explosion.
- Store in a separate, well-ventilated area, away from living quarters and heat sources.
PPE when handling:
- Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or rubber)
- Tight-fitting safety goggles or face shield
- Dust mask when weighing and mixing
- Long-sleeved protective clothing to avoid direct skin contact with Chlorine dust
Spill cleanup: Collect dry Chlorine with clean tools, avoid mixing with organic materials or water containing ammonia. Do not use flammable materials for cleanup. The spill area should be well-ventilated before personnel without PPE return to work.
