That website has a configuration problem, their SSL certificate expired more than 18 months ago (1/3/2022).  Seems unlikely their product is of much quality if they can't keep their website supporting structure working properly.

Seems to have good reviews on Amazon. I haven't used chlorine bleach in over 15 years and have zero interest going back to it.

Sodium hypochlorite and Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (aka chlorine bleach) are powerful disinfectants and thus in countries where chlorine bleach (eau de Javel) isn't used regularly for laundry it is widely used for cleaning, sanitation and sterilizing. Dry chlorine bleach (Sodium dichloroisocyanurate) is more shelf stable than liquid so there you are.

In UK common brand of chlorine bleach based product is are sterilizing tablets and liquid sold under brand name Milton.

Indeed all over world you'll find various forms of dry chlorine bleach in different concentrations used for cleaning and sanitizing range of things.

Dry chlorine bleach long was included in powdered automatic dishwasher detergents and many other products for home or commercial use.

Besides its disinfecting and sanitation properties sodium hypochlorite attack protein (which is one way they accomplish this), which makes the stuff a good choice for say automatic dishwashing products because will aid in breaking down protein based soils on dishware. Enzymes will also do same but come with less downside risks, hence you rarely see domestic dishwasher detergents with chlorine bleach anymore.

Because chlorine bleaches attack protein they cannot be used on wool or silk.

Then there is calcium hypochlorite (slaked lime) which is more powerful than sodium hypochlorite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hypochlorite

That is the stuff you see being shoveled over graves containing dead bodies before they are covered with soil.

bleach uses

My primary uses for these bleach tablets are for whites. I find them to be less of a hassle than liquid bleach. I can just toss and go.
