Epichlorohydrin

Epichlorohydrin English Name: Epichlorohydrin Also Known As: Epichlorohydrin; 3-Chloro-1,2-epoxypropane Chemical Formula: C₃H₅ClO Molecular Weight: 92.52 CAS Registry Number: 106-89-8 EINECS Number: 203-439-8 Melting Point: -57.2°C Boiling Point: 117.9°C Flash Point: 40°C Density: 1.1812 g/mL Appearance: Colorless liquid Water Solubility: Insoluble in water Applications: 1. Primarily used in the production of glycerol, epoxy resins, chlorohydrin rubber, and polyether polyols. It is an important raw material for manufacturing glycerol and glycidyl derivatives, serves as an organic solvent, and acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of the rodenticide gliftor. 2. Used as an organic solvent (for resins, gums, cellulose esters, cellulose ethers, etc.). 3. An important organic synthesis intermediate and raw material. Used in the production of epoxy resins and as a diluent for epoxy resins. 4. Also employed in the manufacture of glycerol, fiberglass-reinforced plastics, glycidyl methacrylate, chlorohydrin rubber, glycidyl derivatives, surfactants, electrical insulation products, and more.
