What is a Isocyanuric Acid?

Isocyanuric acid (chemical formula: C3H3N3O3) is an organic compound widely used in the production of pool disinfectants and industrial chemicals. It is a derivative of cyanuric acid, with a three-ring structure, and is known for its chemical stability and low solubility in water. One of the primary uses of isocyanuric acid is in the manufacturing of trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), a disinfectant used in pool water to control bacteria and algae. In the agricultural sector, it is also used as an ingredient in fungicides and pesticides. Due to its stability, isocyanuric acid is also employed as a catalyst or intermediate in various industrial chemical processes.

While isocyanuric acid is relatively low in toxicity, it should still be handled with care. It is recommended to store it properly and ensure adequate ventilation when using it to avoid exposure to potentially harmful fumes.
