Buying bleaching powder in Nepal: specifications and storage questions
Before buying bleaching powder, confirm the exact product identity, intended application and supplied specification. Ask for the available-chlorine information and SDS through your enquiry, rather than selecting solely by a familiar name or bag price.

A common name is not a complete specification
Buyers may use the term bleaching powder for different chlorine-releasing materials. Confirm the chemical identity shown on the supplier's label and documentation, along with the specification needed for your task. Do not assume that a general online description establishes the contents of a particular delivery.
Tell ESCU whether the product is intended for a water-treatment system, a storage tank or another application. If a project has a written material specification, include it with the enquiry. The supplied product should be reviewed against that requirement before the order is approved.
Questions that make the quotation useful
Ask how the offered material is identified and what available-chlorine specification applies. Confirm the available packaging and the quantity being quoted. Where a shelf-life or storage requirement matters to your purchasing plan, request the supplied product's documentation rather than assuming a standard period.
- Exact product name and intended use
- Required specification or an existing accepted label
- Quantity and packaging preference
- Delivery town, site access and required date
- SDS, usage instructions and receiving documents
- Storage space and the person responsible for handling
Review storage before delivery
Storage requirements depend on the material supplied. For calcium hypochlorite specifically, the ILO/WHO International Chemical Safety Card identifies incompatibilities including acids and combustible materials. Use the actual product's SDS for the complete storage and handling requirements; this general guide does not identify every product sold under the common name bleaching powder.
Keep labels legible and make the documentation available to the people receiving and using the chemical. Do not decant material into an unlabelled container or mix it with another chemical. If your storage arrangement is uncertain, resolve that with the responsible site team before arranging delivery.
Request an order-specific price
ESCU quotes bleaching powder on enquiry from Kathmandu for customers across Nepal. Send the quantity, delivery location and application through the quote form or WhatsApp. SDS and related documents are provided after an enquiry so your team can review the proposed product.
This page does not publish a fixed Nepal-wide price or a universal dose. Confirm the current quotation, supplied specification and operating instructions for the actual order. For a repeat purchase, retain the previous label and order reference so the team can check that you are requesting the same material.
