Description

Chlordane is a synthetic organochlorine compound historically significant for its potent insecticidal properties. Its primary value lies in its persistent and broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of pests, making it a subject of study for historical applications and environmental impact. This product is relevant for researchers, analytical laboratories, and industrial specialists involved in environmental monitoring, chemical forensics, and the study of legacy pollutants. The compound is supplied as Chlordane CAS NO 57-74-9 for professional use.

Application

• Environmental Research and Analysis: Used as a reference standard in analytical laboratories (e.g., GC-MS, HPLC) for detecting and quantifying persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in soil, water, and biological samples.
• Chemical Forensics and Regulatory Compliance: Serves as a critical standard for testing and monitoring to comply with international regulations (e.g., Stockholm Convention) regarding banned or restricted substances.
• Historical and Toxicological Studies: Employed in scientific research to understand the long-term environmental fate, bioaccumulation, and toxicological profile of organochlorine pesticides.
• Industrial Reference Material: Used by chemical manufacturers and quality control departments as a high-purity benchmark for related chemical synthesis or degradation studies.
