Product Description:
Carbon tetrachloride is an organic compound, chemical formula CCl4. it is a colourless transparent liquid, volatile, toxic, with the odor of chloroform, sweet taste. It is chemically stable, non-flammable, and can be hydrolysed to produce phosgene at high temperature, and chloroform can be obtained by reduction. Carbon tetrachloride is insoluble in water, miscible with ethanol, ether, chloroform and petroleum ether. Carbon tetrachloride has been used as a fire extinguishing agent, because it is banned at 500 degrees Celsius, can be reacted with water to generate highly toxic phosgene.
Product Application:
Carbon tetrachloride has been widely used as solvent, fire extinguishing agent, chlorinating agent of organic materials, leaching agent of spices, degreasing agent of fibre, cooking agent of grain, extracting agent of drugs, organic solvent, dry cleaning agent of fabrics, but due to the toxicity and destruction of the ozone layer, it is now seldom used and its production is restricted, and many of its uses have been replaced by dichloromethane, etc. It can also be used to synthesize chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). It can also be used to synthesise chlorofluorocarbon, nylon 7, nylon 9 monomer; it can also be used to make trichloromethane and drugs; it is used as lubricant in metal cutting.
