1,2,3- trichloropropane is a chemical compound selected from the group consisting of saturated chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is in the form of a heavy inflammatory fluid.

Production and representation

1,2,3- trichloropropane is obtained by the chlorination of propene, but is also a by-product in the synthesis of other chlorinated compounds before (e.g., epichlorohydrin ). In 2000, about 9000-14000 tons worldwide less than 50,000 tons per year were produced in the United States.

Use

1,2,3- trichloropropane is used as a solvent for oils, fats, waxes and special polymers, as well as a trifunctional crosslinker (eg Polysulfidelastomeren ) and for heterocycle synthesis.

Safety

1,2,3- trichloropropane is in the EC Category 2 (substances which should be regarded as carcinogenic to humans) and EC - category 3 (substances which give rise owing to possible mutagenic effect on people of concern ), as substance which impairs the ability to reproduce, and annex II, No. 6 of the Hazardous Substances Ordinance ( ordinance on Hazardous Substances ) as particularly dangerous carcinogen and must be produced or used in closed systems.
