[1] It is a colorless, water-soluble solid, produced as a result of reaction of cyanuric acid with chlorine.

In these applications, it is a slow-release source of chlorine in low concentrations at a relatively constant rate.

It can be used for disinfection and environmental sterilization, for example in livestock, poultry, fish and silkworm raising, for bleaching textiles, for cleaning industrial circulating water, and to prevent wool from shrinking.

The overall reaction is: Sodium dichloroisocyanurate reacts with concentrated (130 vol, 35%) hydrogen peroxide to create singlet oxygen which emits red light upon decomposition .

High level exposure can cause reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) [3]
