Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate - NADCC
NADCC is a halogen.
Moderately priced, broad spectrum of activity, works by denaturing proteins.
Contains a detergent so it cleans as well as disinfects.
Tablets dissolve in about 2 ½ minutes requiring 1 tablet per gallon of water. There are
270 tablets per bucket.
Solution is good for 24 hours once activated and the tablets have 1 year stability prior to
activation.
No deleterious effects on floor finishes.
50% less corrosive to metals than bleach,
but still corrosive
.
Does not bleach color-fast fabrics.
Biodegrades to ammonia and CO
2
.
Not inactivated by organic matter.
Because it has a pH around 6.5, more
HOCL
(hypochlorous acid) is available than found
in sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite making it much more effective.
Does not kill spores.
A movement is gaining momentum where States and Municipalities are moving away
from (discouraging) chlorine use due to the formation of carcinogenic trihalomines and
volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).
