Quality indicators

　　Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets are widely used in the disinfection field.Their disinfection principle is mainly based on the release and oxidation of available chlorine.

　　I.The Release Process of Available Chlorine

　　The main component of Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets is trichloroisocyanuric acid(C₃Cl₃N₃O₃),which belongs to the organochlorine disinfectant class.When the tablet comes into contact with water,a hydrolysis reaction occurs.During this reaction,the chlorine atoms in the trichloroisocyanuric acid molecule are gradually replaced by water molecules,thus slowly releasing available chlorine.Available chlorine is not a single substance,but exists in solution in the form of hypochlorous acid(HClO)and hypochlorite ions(ClO⁻).Both of these chlorine-containing substances have strong oxidizing capabilities,which are key factors in their disinfection effect.

　　II.The Oxidative Sterilization Mechanism of Hypochlorous Acid

　　Hypochlorous acid has extremely strong oxidizing properties,which is its core characteristic for sterilization and disinfection.When hypochlorous acid comes into contact with microorganisms(such as bacteria,viruses,fungi,etc.),it rapidly penetrates the cell walls of the microorganisms.The cell wall is a crucial protective barrier for microorganisms.Once penetrated,hypochlorous acid can enter the cell.

　　Inside the cell,hypochlorous acid reacts with proteins,enzymes,and other biomolecules,undergoing oxidation reactions.Proteins are the main carriers of life activities,and enzymes are key substances catalyzing biochemical reactions.The oxidation effect of hypochlorous acid destroys the structure and function of these biomolecules,causing them to lose their original activity.For example,proteins denature,and enzymes lose their catalytic ability,leading to metabolic disorders in microorganisms,preventing them from carrying out normal life activities,and ultimately causing microbial death.

　　III.Effects on Different Pathogens

　　1.Bacteria

　　For common bacteria,such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus,the effective chlorine released by Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets can destroy the bacterial cell wall and cell membrane,causing the leakage of internal substances.Simultaneously,it oxidizes key enzymes and proteins within the bacteria,thereby achieving the purpose of killing bacteria.At appropriate concentrations and contact times,it has a good killing effect on various enteropathogenic bacteria and pyogenic cocci.

　　2.Viruses

　　Viruses lack cellular structure and are mainly composed of nucleic acid and a protein coat.Hypochlorous acid can oxidize the viral protein coat,destroying its structure.It also acts on viral nucleic acids,interfering with viral replication and proliferation,thus rendering the virus unable to infect host cells.Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets are effective in killing common viruses such as influenza and COVID-19.

　　3.Fungi

　　Fungi have cell walls and nuclei.Available chlorine can destroy the fungal cell walls,affecting cell membrane permeability and causing intracellular loss.Simultaneously,it oxidizes intracellular enzymes and proteins,interfering with normal fungal metabolism and growth,thereby killing fungi such as Candida albicans.

　　Whether Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets can be used for food disinfection cannot be simply determined.It has applicable scenarios,but its use must strictly follow regulations;otherwise,it may pose food safety risks.

　　I.Limited Use in Specific Scenarios

　　In certain stages of the food processing industry,Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets can play a certain role.For example,disinfecting food processing equipment,such as pipes,containers,and cutting tools in production workshops.These devices are prone to food residue residue and the growth of bacteria,mold,and other microorganisms during production.Using Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets to prepare a disinfectant solution of appropriate concentration for soaking or wiping these devices can effectively kill microorganisms and prevent them from contaminating food products produced subsequently.

　　It can also be used for disinfecting food processing environments,such as workshop floors,walls,and ceilings.Regularly spraying or wiping with a disinfectant solution prepared from these tablets can reduce the number of microorganisms in the environment and create a relatively hygienic production environment.

　　II.The usage requirements are extremely strict.

　　1.Precise Concentration Preparation

　　The concentration of the disinfectant solution must be precisely prepared according to relevant standards and product instructions.Too low a concentration will not achieve effective disinfection and will not completely kill microorganisms;too high a concentration may leave disinfectant residues exceeding safety standards,posing a health hazard.For example,for disinfecting equipment that directly contacts food,the disinfectant concentration must be controlled within an extremely low range,and thorough rinsing is essential after disinfection to ensure no residue remains.

　　2.Strict Control of Contact Time

　　Different disinfection targets and purposes have strict requirements regarding the contact time of the disinfectant solution.Too short a contact time may not completely kill microorganisms;too long a contact time may corrode equipment or increase the risk of disinfectant residue.

　　3.Prohibition of Use Outside Direct Contact with Food

　　Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets must never be used directly for the disinfection of food itself,such as spraying or soaking fruits,vegetables,or meats with the disinfectant solution.Because the active ingredients in disinfectants can remain on the surface of food,even after washing,they are difficult to completely remove.Ingestion may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa,causing symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea.Long-term ingestion may also damage organs such as the liver and kidneys.

Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets can be used in limited stages of food processing,but must be strictly followed according to regulations and must never be used for the disinfection of food itself.

　　IV.Differences between Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets and 84 Disinfectant Solution Both Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets and 84 disinfectant solution are common chlorine-containing disinfectants widely used in daily life and industry,but they differ significantly in composition,properties,and application scenarios.

　　Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets primarily contain trichloroisocyanuric acid(C₃Cl₃N₃O₃),an organochlorine disinfectant.This substance is relatively stable and can be stored for a long time at room temperature without easily decomposing or becoming ineffective.When dissolved in water,it slowly releases available chlorine,thus exerting its disinfecting effect.

　　84 disinfectant solution primarily contains sodium hypochlorite(NaClO),an inorganic chlorine-containing disinfectant.Sodium hypochlorite solution is unstable and easily decomposes to produce hypochlorous acid under conditions such as light,heating,or contact with air,thereby releasing available chlorine.However,this also results in a relatively short shelf life.

　　While Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets are widely used in disinfection scenarios,controlling the concentration of the disinfectant solution is crucial.If the concentration is too high,it will adversely affect the surface of objects,such as causing rust on metal utensils and corrosion and deformation of wooden furniture.Furthermore,high-concentration disinfectant evaporates into the air and,when inhaled,can severely irritate the respiratory tract,causing symptoms such as coughing and wheezing.Simultaneously,its residues can pollute environmental elements such as soil and water.Conversely,if the concentration is too low,the effective chlorine content will be insufficient to effectively destroy the cell structure of microorganisms,making it difficult to kill pathogens such as bacteria,viruses,and fungi.Consequently,the expected disinfection effect cannot be achieved,and reliable protection for our health and living environment cannot be provided.Therefore,strictly following the product instructions to prepare the disinfectant solution concentration is an important prerequisite for the safe and effective use of Trichloroisocyanuric acid disinfection tablets.
