In 2025, global sales volume for sodium dichloroisocyanurate is projected to reach 1,312 thousand tons, with an average price of $1,400 per ton.

Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is a sodium salt of a chlorinated hydroxytriazine which belongs to the family of chlorinating agents. The physical appearance of sodium dichloroisocyanurate is in the form of a colorless, water-soluble solid. Sodium dichloroisocyanurate is used as a source of free accessible chlorine atoms in the form of hypochlorous acid.

The primary raw materials for sodium dichloroisocyanurate production are cyanuric acid (isocyanuric acid), liquid chlorine, and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide); certain production processes also require soda ash (sodium carbonate) or hydrochloric acid. The specific synthesis route involves reacting cyanuric acid with caustic soda to form the disodium salt of cyanuric acid, followed by the introduction of chlorine gas to undergo a chlorination reaction, yielding dichloroisocyanuric acid; finally, this intermediate is neutralized with soda ash to produce the finished sodium dichloroisocyanurate product. Taking the direct chlorination method as an example, the material consumption required to produce one ton of sodium dichloroisocyanurate is approximately: 0.65–0.68 tons of cyanuric acid, 0.70–0.72 tons of liquid chlorine, 1.3–1.4 tons of 30% caustic soda solution, and approximately 0.3 tons of soda ash. In contrast, the urea-based method requires 2 tons of urea, 1.4 tons of liquid chlorine, 2.4 tons of 30% caustic soda solution, and 1.5 tons of 31% hydrochloric acid. In terms of cost structure, cyanuric acid—serving as a core organic raw material—typically accounts for 25–35% of total costs; its price is influenced by supply and demand dynamics within the urea and cyanuric acid industries. Liquid chlorine (accounting for approximately 20–30% of costs) and caustic soda (approximately 15–20%) are major chlor-alkali commodities; their prices are directly tied to the costs of salt electrolysis and electricity rates, resulting in significant price volatility. Energy and environmental treatment costs (approximately 10–15%) encompass the electricity consumed for refrigeration during chlorination reactions, tail gas absorption (for handling chlorine gas leaks), and wastewater treatment; given the toxicity of chlorine gas and the generation of irritant gases during reactions, environmental protection measures constitute a non-negotiable, fixed cost. Labor and equipment depreciation account for the remaining 10–15%. In recent years, process optimization—such as the combined method utilizing direct chlorine chlorination alongside sodium hypochlorite-assisted chlorination—has enabled product yields to rise from below 90% to over 95%. Simultaneously, this approach reduces specific chlorine consumption and mitigates environmental pollution, representing a primary strategic direction for the industry to achieve cost reduction and efficiency gains. Leveraging its comprehensive chlor-alkali industrial chain and mature cyanuric acid synthesis capabilities, China holds a dominant position in global SDIC (Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate) production; however, the country currently faces the dual challenges of increasingly stringent environmental regulations and fluctuating raw material prices.
