Chloramine T (N-chloro-p-toluenesulfonamide sodium salt), CAS 127-65-1, is a solid chlorine-releasing disinfectant and oxidising agent. It is used in water treatment, food and beverage plant sanitation, medical and veterinary disinfection, textile and pulp bleaching, and as an oxidising reagent in chemical synthesis. PolyBlueChem supplies it with per-batch COA and SDS.
Specifications
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Appearance | White crystalline powder |
| Assay | 98 – 103% |
| Colour (5% solution) | 25 Pt-Co max |
| Turbidity (0.5% solution) | 5 FTU max |
| pH | 8.0 – 10.3 |
| Ethanol insolubles | 1.5% max |
| Ortho isomer | 0.5% max |
| Carr index | 25% max |
The low ortho-isomer limit controls para-isomer purity; the Carr index describes powder flowability, which matters for automatic dosing and tabletting.

Applications
- Water treatment – disinfection of drinking water, swimming pools and process water.
- Food and beverage sanitation – CIP and equipment disinfection in dairies, breweries and food plants.
- Medical and veterinary – instrument and surface disinfection; wound antisepsis history.
- Bleaching – textile, pulp and starch bleaching.
- Chemical synthesis – oxidising and chlorinating reagent (for example chloramine formation and iodometric analysis).
Packaging and documentation
- 25 kg PP/PE bags or drums; keep sealed, cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.
- Per-batch certificate of analysis (COA) and safety data sheet (SDS).
- Oxidiser: keep away from acids, ammonia and reducing agents (contact with acid or ammonia releases chlorine/chloramine gas).
