Properties and Usage:
Hexachloroethane (CAS 67-72-1) is a colorless liquid solvent with a strong chlorine smell.
1. Solvent Applications
Hexachloroethane is a highly efficient solvent that can dissolve a variety of organic compounds and is used in chemical experiments and gas chromatography analysis. In the chemical industry, it is often used to dissolve plastics, resins, paints, adhesives, etc.
2. Chemical Synthesis Intermediate
In organic synthesis, hexachloroethane is used as a raw material or intermediate to participate in the production of chlorinated organic compounds such as dichloroethylene and chlorinated polyethylene, and plays an important role in the production of PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
3. Electronics Industry
Due to its non-combustibility and low volatility, hexachloroethane has played an important role as a fire extinguishing agent in extinguishing electrical fires. It is also used to clean electronic components with significant decontamination effects.
