Precise Free Chlorine Testing with R-0870-J DPD Powder (0.25 lb)

Taylor R-0870-J DPD Powder is a 0.25 lb container of N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine powder used in DPD-based chlorine testing for pool and spa water. This reagent is designed for use with Taylor Technologies DPD test kits and the R-0870 reagent family, delivering reliable color development that supports accurate free chlorine readings. It fits into standard testing workflows, providing a ready-to-use source of the DPD powder needed for routine water analysis.

Construction, Compatibility and Integration

The product is a finely milled DPD powder packaged for storage in a moisture-resistant bottle to preserve potency between tests. It is compatible with Taylor’s DPD-based test kits that utilize the R-0870 powder reagent, integrating seamlessly into established chlorine testing procedures.
