GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane, an aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbon, is a clear, non-flammable liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is a manufactured chemical that does not occur naturally. It is a highly volatile liquid but non-flammable liquid at room temperature. It reacts violently with alkali metals and strong bases. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane is used principally as a feedstock in the production of other chlorinated hydrocarbons such as di, tri- and tetrachloroethylenes. The other uses are as a solvent, paint/rust remover, metal cleanner or degreasing agent and fat extractant. It may also used in soil sterilization and as an ingredient herbicides; insecticides. | ||
