Chlor Floc Water Purification

Chlor Floc Water Purification Powder not only disinfects naturally polluted water but also clarifies it. Eliminating Giardia, Bacteria and Viruses, Chlor Floc Water Purification Powder is one of the more effective water treatment solutions on the market today. Chlor Floc is currently in use by the U.S. Army just for that reason. It carries an NSN (National Stock Number) of 6850-01-582-5270. Each Package contains 30 packets of fast acting powder. This is enough to treat 30 liters (33 quarts) of polluted water. One 600 mg packet provides 1.4% available chlorine and fluculating agents for the clarification and disinfection of 1 liter of water from polluted sources at temperatures of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. At colder temperatures, two packets are recommended. Each package of Chlor-Floc contains 30 packets, enough to treat 33 quarts of polluted water.

At 41 degrees F ( 5 C ) two 600 milligram packets will provide 2.8% available chlorine for the same purpose. Usage Instructions: 1.

Precautionary statements: Chlor Floc Water Purification Powder/Tablets can cause moderate eye irritation and can be harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid breathing the dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Prolonged and frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. CHLOR-FLOC Packets are intended for the clarification and disinfection of polluted or suspected water and to make it bacteriologically safe for drinking when treated as directed. Chlor Floc Water Purification is recommended for use by the military to treat suspected water during field exercises or where municipally treated water is not available. CHLOR-FLOC contains a combination of flocculating and coagulating agents which promotes rapid formation of a sediment in the treated water. Pollutants, in the form of gross organic matter and microscopic particles, adhere to the sediment by the action of the flocculating and coagulating agents. The sediment with the entrapped pollutants are removed from the clarified water by straining through a piece of cloth. The cloth can be reused after rinsing with clarified treated water. After clarification of the water by separating sediment from the treated water, the chlorine released by the active ingredient is then free to kill Giardia Lamblla (cysts, bacteria, viruses and other harmful micro-organisms) which were not removed with the sediment.
