bleaching powder
Calcium hypochlorite compound
Bleaching powder is a white powder used to whiten fabrics and disinfect surfaces, made by treating slite lime with chlorine.
It releases chlorine when mixed with water or acids, giving it both its bleaching action and its harsh chemical smell.
Also called chlorinated lime or calcium hypochlorite.
