A product including potassium monopersulfate and a halogen is presented.
The product is useful for treatment of aquatic facilities such as
swimming pools. While it was known that using a combination of potassium
monopersulfate and halogen is effective for sanitizing water, a product
that includes both components could not be made because of the
incompatibility between the two components. The product overcomes the
incompatibility by use of a barrier film between the two components. The
barrier film, which includes one or more of inorganic salt, silicate,
borosilicate, and organic polymer, is coated onto one of the components
prior to being combined with the second component. The product may be
extruded and molded into a desired shape and added to the water to be
treated, as needed.
