Description

Clophen A30 is a technical-grade polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture, a class of synthetic organic chemicals known for their chemical stability and dielectric properties. This product is primarily valued for its historical and specialized applications where these inert characteristics are required. It is utilized in specific industrial sectors that rely on its unique chemical profile for performance and reliability.

Application

As a dielectric fluid and coolant in older electrical equipment such as transformers and capacitors.
As a plasticizer in certain polymers and synthetic resins to improve flexibility and durability.
As a hydraulic fluid and heat transfer medium in closed industrial systems.
As an additive in specialty lubricants and cutting oils for extreme pressure applications.
As a sealant and adhesive component in construction materials.
For research and development purposes in environmental testing and analytical method development.

Quality Control

Our Clophen A30 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. While this is a technical-grade material, it is characterized to confirm its conformance to typical PCB mixture profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as chlorine content and congener distribution is available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Due to the persistent nature of PCBs, ensure containers are clearly labeled and managed according to all local and international environmental regulations.
