Calcium hypochlorite, i.e., commonly known as bleaching powder,
often used in the chemical production in bleaching process, with
its rapid effect and the effect of bleaching and has an important
role in the industrial production. But because of its great harm to
people\'s is a strong oxidizer, other purposes outside must not
used in industry, also should pay attention to when using its own
protection, to avoid corrosion. In addition, its a lot of volatile
also has a strong carcinogenic, must notice when saving.

Strong oxidizer. With water or wet air can cause burning explosion.
Mixed with alkaline substances can cause explosion. Contact with
organic matter have cause the risk of burning. Heat, acid or
sunlight decomposition emits irritating chlorine gas.
