Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: Colorless, volatile liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor
· Melting Point: -97°C
· Boiling Point: 39.8°C
· Density: 1.325 g/mL (20°C) (Heavier than water)
· Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; miscible with most organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, ether, DMF)
· Refractive Index: 1.424 (20°C)
· Evaporation Rate: 14.5 (Diethyl ether=1), evaporates very rapidly.
Chemical Properties:
· Relatively stable chemically, non-flammable and non-explosive.
· Slowly hydrolyzes under high temperature (>120°C) or strong alkaline conditions, forming formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride.
· Can react with strong nucleophiles.
· May slowly react with oxygen in air under light to form phosgene, hence it is often stored with stabilizers (e.g., small amounts of alcohols, epoxides).
Product Usage
Paint Stripper: As a primary component for efficiently and rapidly removing paints and varnishes; one of its largest consumption areas.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Widely used as a reaction and crystallization solvent in the synthesis and purification of pharmaceuticals like antibiotics and vitamins.
Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a low-boiling, aprotic solvent for organic reactions, extraction, washing, and recrystallization.
Blowing Agent: Used as a blowing agent for polyurethane and polystyrene foams, utilizing its highly volatile nature.
Metal Cleaning: Used for degreasing and cleaning precision metal parts, replacing flammable solvents.
Other Applications: Used as an aerosol propellant, solvent for plastic welding, and in film manufacturing.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Has narcotic effects. Inhalation can cause dizziness, fatigue, ataxia, confusion, and high concentrations may lead to coma.
· Suspected carcinogen (IARC Group 2A). Long-term exposure may increase cancer risk.
· Irritating to eyes and skin. Liquid contact may cause burns.
· Metabolized in the body to carbon monoxide, potentially leading to elevated carboxyhemoglobin levels.
Handling Protection:
· Must be handled in a fume hood or with effective local exhaust ventilation to ensure vapor concentration remains below occupational exposure limits.
· Wear chemical safety goggles, impermeable gloves (e.g., butyl rubber), and effective organic vapor respiratory protection.
· Avoid all skin contact and vapor inhalation.
· Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area.
Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry place away from light and heat.
· Keep containers tightly closed. Use corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel, galvanized steel).
· Store separately from strong oxidizers, strong bases, and active metals.
· Check if the product contains stabilizers; exercise extra caution with unstabilized products.
Fire Fighting:
· Non-flammable itself, but decomposes upon contact with flame or high temperature, producing highly toxic phosgene and corrosive, irritating fumes like hydrogen chloride.
· Extinguish fire using CO2, dry powder, or foam. Water is ineffective for extinguishing but can be used to cool exposed containers.
· Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
