Product Overview
Isocyanuric Acid – Technical Grade
Product Overview
Isocyanuric Acid, also known as cyanuric acid or pool stabilizer, is a white, odorless chemical compound widely used in swimming pools and spas to protect chlorine from degradation caused by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. By binding to chlorine molecules, it significantly slows the rate of chlorine loss, ensuring consistent sanitizer levels and reducing the need for frequent chemical adjustments.
