Description
White powder with a faint chlorine odor. Chloramine B was first introduced as a bleach for paper in 1937, however it is no longer in use. Chloramine B in weak solutions (2%) initially appeared to be a satisfactory easily controllable bleach. However, it reacts with aluminum and other metals to form insoluble precipitates that are difficult to remove. Residual chloramine B may continue to bleach for many months. It has also been used as an antiseptic.
See also Chloramine T.
