Chlorine Dioxide Generator Tablets 10% – Industrial Water Treatment Grade

Chlorine Dioxide Generator Tablets are compact, water-soluble solid tablets formulated to generate active chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) solution on demand after controlled dissolution and activation in water.

The tablet format provides a practical method for preparing chlorine dioxide treatment solution near the point of use without the need to store or transport concentrated chlorine dioxide gas. The product is designed primarily for industrial and professional water-treatment applications, including process water, cooling-water systems, wastewater treatment, industrial circulation systems, water-storage systems, and compatible equipment-treatment programs.

The recommended product is supplied as a white effervescent tablet with a nominal 10% chlorine dioxide generating capacity. When used according to the product-specific instructions, the tablet dissolves and reacts in water to produce an active chlorine dioxide solution for subsequent controlled application.

This product should be considered a chlorine dioxide generator formulation rather than a tablet containing pure chlorine dioxide gas. The dry tablet contains a formulated precursor system designed to generate ClO₂ when activated in water.

Treatment concentration, activation procedure, contact time, and application conditions should always be determined according to the actual product specification, water chemistry, treatment objective, system conditions, and applicable regulations.
