Cyanuric acid(CAT: R010423) is a heterocyclic compound based on a symmetrical triazine ring containing alternating amine and carbonyl groups. It is widely known for its role in pool and spa water treatment, where it acts as a chlorine stabilizer, preventing rapid degradation from ultraviolet light. Beyond its common use in sanitization, cyanuric acid serves as a core structure in the synthesis of industrial chemicals, including resins, herbicides, and flame retardants. Its ability to form strong hydrogen bonds also makes it valuable in supramolecular chemistry and the development of advanced materials and polymer networks.
