Hazmatspotting: 2468, who do we chlorinate?

Spotted in an ordinary cargo truck: #2468, trichloroisocyanuric acid. A nice snowflake-looking molecule, isn't it?

"Trichloroisocyanuric acid is used as a chlorinating agent, disinfectant, industrial deodorant and biocide in water treatment."

No photo, I'm afraid -- traffic was too crazy.

I also saw a liquid-carrying truck with some sort of "elevated temperature liquid, [not otherwise specified], at or above 100° C (212° F) and below its flash point" (#3257), but I've seen those before.
