TCCA is an organic compound used as an industrial disinfectant, bleaching agent, and reagent in organic synthesis. 
TCCA is in the form of white crystalline powder & has a strong "chlorine odour," sold in tablet or granule form for domestic as well as industrial use. 
TCCA is a better and more economical alternative to bleaching powder and sodium hypochlorite for all kinds of chlorination applications, also easy to handle, ship, store and apply. 
Besides, TCCA as an alternative has multiple advantages like long duration of sterilizing effect & stability in storage with extended shelf life.

TCCA is used in swimming pools to furnish chlorine and hence acts as a disinfectant.
When added in the pool, it combines with water to give Cyanuric Acid and Hypochlorous Acid (HClO).

This released HClO is capable of giving free chlorine to swimming pools. 
Furthermore, Cyanuric Acid acts as a stabilizer and protects the free chlorine from sunlight. 
Chemically, Cyanuric Acid stops the conversion of HClO into hypochlorite ion (ClO) which has low microbial activity.

Free chlorine upon reaction with ammonia and other waste substances from urine, perspiration etc. gets converted to combined chlorine which should be eradicated from pool in a timely manner. 
Pools are fed with chlorine shocks once or twice every month to clean the pool. 
These shocks contain concentrated chlorine which reduces the growth of algae residue and bacteria in the water bodies.

As far as quantity is concerned, Chlorine should be present in 14 ppm for the pool to become an ideal one. 
One more important characteristic is the pH of the pool water, which should be maintained between 7.27.6. 
This pH range is basically same as the pH of human tears and hence maintaining it will prevent our eyes from burning. 

Less than 7.2 would render the pool acidic and lead to the corrosion of pipes and may attack pool walls. 
On the other hand, higher pH will make the water alkaline and reduce the effectiveness of chlorine. 
Some common chemicals are used to adjust the pH. 
Lower pH is achieved using Hydrochloric Acid while higher pH is obtained by adding sodium carbonate or bicarbonate.

TCCA is a chemical product used as a broadspectrum organic chlorine disinfectant and bleacher, in particular used for disinfecting water in swimming pools. 
TCCA is sold in the form of powder, granules, tablets or chips. 
All forms of TCCA and preparations thereof share the same basic characteristics (chemical composition) and properties (disinfectant), are all intended for similar use and are therefore considered as a single product.

TCCA is used in a variety of applications, e.g.:
Swimmingpool water treatment;
Water treatment for cooling towers;
Drinking water for emergency cases. 

The production process of TCCA can be summarized in the following steps:
Refined cyanuric acid is neutralized with caustic soda to become trisodium cyanurate, the feedstock for the production of TCCA (TCCA or Trichlor) and sodium dichloroisocyanurate (Dichlor).
TCCA is produced by introducing chlorine gas to the feedstock material. 
TCCA has approximately 90% available chlorine.
Granular TCCA is often further processed into tablets for use in pool treatments. 

TCCA is an excellent source of chlorine for the control of biofouling in swimming pools, industrial water systems and cooling water systems.

TCCA belongs to the large group of Nchloroimides and amides that are used as bleaching agents, disinfectants, and bactericides owing to their function as chlorinating agents and oxidants. 
Their properties are similar to those of Nchloroamines, which however are more unstable. 
A few of them are commonly used also as chlorinating reagents and oxidants in organic synthesis: since chloroamines are easier to handle than chlorine gas or metal hypochlorites, they are used widely in organic synthesis in addition to their use in the purification of water or as sanitizing agents, for example, in swimming pools.

TCCA was used as an effective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of urazoles and bisurazoles to their corresponding triazolinediones under both heterogeneous and solventfree conditions with excellent yields at room temperature.

Chlorine is one of the earliest sanitizers used in food processing plants and is used in sanitizing solutions in the form of aqueous sodium hypochlorite or hypochlorous acid. 
Chlorine can be purchased as a gas, in a stable liquid form (bleach), as a chlorine producing solid (calcium or magnesium hypochlorite as well as in the TCCA form) or produced from the chloride salt on site in an electrolytic cell.
