Definition

Antiseptic and disinfectant, used for:

  • equipment and linen
  • floors and surfaces
  • wounds

Specifications

Effervescent tablet containing 1.67 mg sodium dichloroisocyanurate (or NaDCC or sodium troclosene or sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione) which releases 1 g available chlorine when dissolved in water.

The strenght of solutions is usually not expressed in NaDCC concentration, but in content of available chlorine (either in g or mg per litre, or in parts per million [ppm], or in percentage).

  • 1 mg/litre = 1 ppm = 0.0001%
  • 1 tablet of 1 g per litre = 1 g/l or 0.1% or 1000 ppm available chlorine

Instructions for use

  • Prepare solutions with clean water, just before use, in non metallic containers
  • Disinfection of linen: to be used only for white cotton or linen (risk of discoloration​). Don't exceed 15 minutes soaking. Do not use solutions exceeding 0.1% available chlorine. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Pre-disinfection and disinfection of instruments: prefer the detergent-disinfectant solution (SDISMDQA1T5) which is less corrosive (see related articles below)
