  • Applications

    Chloramine, CAS 10599-90-3, is primarily used as a disinfectant in water treatment: monochloramine is dosed into municipal drinking water and wastewater systems to control microbial growth and reduce disinfection by-products. In industry, chloramine is used to sanitize and control biofouling in industrial water systems, including cooling towers and process water loops. In the food and beverage processing sector, it may be used as a surface and equipment sanitizer to support sanitation programs. Additionally, chloramine can serve as an intermediate or reagent in organic synthesis, providing a source of chloramine functionality for selective chlorination or amination steps. Use is typically governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
