Liquid Chlorine in Bulk

Liquid chlorine remains the lowest-cost disinfectant per kilogram of available chlorine, which is why large municipal waterworks still use it in preference to hypochlorite. It is also a feedstock for a wide range of chlorination chemistry. It is a hazardous gas under pressure and is supplied only to buyers with the correct licences, storage and handling arrangements in place. BulkFineChem supplies it in cylinders and tonners across India.
