Stable Bleaching Powder (SBP) is a chlorine-based compound primarily used as a disinfectant and bleaching agent in water treatment and sanitation processes. It is widely employed to purify drinking water, disinfect swimming pools, and in textile industries for bleaching purposes. SBP releases chlorine when dissolved in water, effectively eliminating bacteria, viruses, and organic impurities. Its stability and controlled release of chlorine make it ideal for long-term storage and usage in various industrial and public health applications.
