1,2-Dichloroethane CAS 107-06-2

Introduction

1,2-Dichloroethane CAS 107-06-2 is a colourless, transparent and heavy oily liquid. It is flammable and virulent and has a similar sweat taste to chlorine. It can be mixed with ethanol, chloroform and ether; dissolved in water slightly; acid and alkali; and is anti-oxidative. It can be dissolved in water 120 times, dissolve oil, lipid, lubricating grease, paraffin and non-corrosive metal, and have the compatibility of ethanol, chloroform and ether. Resolve temperature: -35.3°C freezing point: -40 ℃, boiling point: 83.7℃, flash point: 17℃ (closed cup), 21℃ (open cup), relative density: 1.2529, critical density: 0.44 g/mol, refractive index: 1.4448, critical temperature: 290℃, critical pressure: 5.36 MPa. Its vapour irritates the respiratory tract and mucosa, causing corneal opacity, disturbance of balance, anaesthesia and abdominal spasm. Steam and air form explosive mixtures with explosive limits of 6.2% - 15.6% (volume).

Risk and Safety Information

Application

1,2-Dichloroethane is a highly effective solvent. It can be used very widely, mainly applied in medicine, pesticide, dyestuff, resin, coating, rubber, paint, cleaning agent, liquid crystal intermediate, flame retardants and other relative industries. In the pesticide industry, it is mainly used to produce monosultap, dimethypo, herbicides, shennongdan and other pesticides. In the resin industry, it is mainly used to produce cationic resin which can become smooth and bright by using our dichloroethane as a solvent; it also can be used to treat water in boiler tubes. In the coating and rubber industry, it can be used to produce various advanced and medium-grade adhesives with high adhesive and great adhesive effects. Furthermore, it can be modulated into all kinds of cleaning agents used in cleaning the metal grime, rust and other sundries. It also can be modulated into alkyd paint and thinner in the paint industry
