CAS No.: 127-52-6
Molecular Formula: C6H5ClNNaO2S
Molecular Weight: 213.61
Category: Chlorinated sulfonamide disinfectant, organic chlorine oxidizing reagent, fine chemical biocide
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Slight pungent chlorine odor
- Solubility: Freely soluble in water; soluble in ethanol, methanol; insoluble in ether, benzene, petroleum ether
- Melting Point: Decomposes above 160 ℃
- Density (predicted): 1.48 g/cm3
- Hygroscopy: Strongly hygroscopic, absorbs water rapidly in humid air
- Aqueous property: Alkaline aqueous solution, releases active chlorine slowly in neutral/weak acidic environment
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Sodium salt of N-chlorobenzenesulfonamide, contains active N-Cl functional group with oxidizing and bactericidal activity
- Active chlorine release: Hydrolyzes in water to generate hypochlorous acid, achieves disinfection and oxidation effects
- Oxidation characteristic: Strong oxidizing property; can oxidize alcohols, amines, sulfides, inorganic reducing ions
- Thermal stability: Unstable at high temperature; heating triggers decomposition, releases chlorine gas and toxic sulfide fumes
- Photostability: Highly light-sensitive, UV irradiation accelerates decomposition and loss of active chlorine
- Compatibility: Compatible with neutral water and weak alkaline medium; strictly incompatible with strong acid, reducing agents, ammonia, ammonium salts

Safety Warning
Corrosive oxidizing crystalline powder with chlorine irritation hazard. Dust irritates eyes, respiratory tract and skin; contact with acid releases toxic chlorine gas which damages respiratory mucosa. All operations must be carried out in fully ventilated fume hood with dust-proof respirator, splash-proof goggles and heavy chemical-resistant nitrile gloves. Never mix with acid, ammonium fertilizer or reducing chemicals to avoid toxic gas release and exothermic reaction. Waste liquid diluted with plenty of water before neutralization treatment; solid waste classified as hazardous oxidizing chemical waste disposed by licensed professional institutions.
