Description

cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a highly volatile, non-flammable chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent with the cis-isomer configuration. This compound is valued for its excellent solvency power and selective reactivity, making it a crucial intermediate and processing agent in various chemical syntheses. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries for applications requiring a powerful, yet relatively stable, chlorinated solvent.

Application

• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: A key building block in the production of more complex chlorinated compounds and fine chemicals.
• Extraction and Purification Solvent: Used for the extraction of specific organic compounds and in purification processes due to its selective solvency.
• Polymer and Resin Processing: Acts as a solvent or viscosity modifier in the formulation and processing of certain polymers and synthetic resins.
• Laboratory Reagent: Employed in research and development as a reagent for organic synthesis and analytical procedures.
• Metal Degreasing and Cleaning: Utilized in specialized industrial cleaning formulations for precision parts, though largely superseded by other solvents.
• Azeotropic Distillation Agent: Functions as a component in azeotropic mixtures to facilitate the separation of specific chemicals.
