FAQs

What is this chloroform product, and what does “hydrocarbon-stabilized” mean?

This is ACS-grade chloroform (trichloromethane, CHCl₃) with an assay of ≥ 99.8%, stabilized with a hydrocarbon (commonly amylene at ~75–200 ppm). The stabilizer helps prevent decomposition over time into hazardous by-products such as phosgene and HCl, extending shelf life compared to unstabilized chloroform.

What are the typical purity and impurity specifications?

The solvent meets ACS quality standards with very low impurities: acetone/aldehydes, acids, and chlorides are within limits; color ≤ 10 APHA; and residue after evaporation ≤ 0.001%. These specs ensure suitability for sensitive analytical or synthesis workflows. (Based on your spec list + general ACS standard practices.)

+ general ACS standard practices.) What are the main hazards and safety precautions when using this chloroform?

Chloroform, stabilized or not, remains toxic: inhalation, skin or eye contact, or ingestion can harm health. It is classified under Hazard Class 6.1 (toxic), and is a suspected human carcinogen; repeated or prolonged exposure may cause organ damage. Use in well-ventilated areas, wear gloves, eye/face protection, and follow SDS guidance.

What special storage and handling requirements apply?

Store in a tightly sealed original container, in a cool, ventilated area away from heat, sparks, or ignition sources. Since stabilized chloroform slowly degrades, avoid direct light or heat to prevent the formation of phosgene or other toxic degradation products. Keep the container closed when not in use.

How should waste and disposal be handled for this chemical?

Unused or contaminated chloroform, residues, and disposal containers must be treated as hazardous waste. Do not mix with incompatible chemicals such as strong bases or reducing agents. Follow local, regional, and national regulations for hazardous-waste disposal.
