Cyanuric Acid (CYA) is a triazine-based chemical compound with the formula C₃H₃N₃O₃. It is primarily used as a stabilizer or conditioner for chlorine in water treatment, particularly in swimming pools, to protect chlorine from rapid degradation by sunlight (UV rays). Cyanuric acid binds with free chlorine to form a chlorinated compound that slowly releases chlorine, maintaining long-lasting disinfectant activity.
