Sourcing Chloroform (Trichloromethane)? ChemicalDekho connects you with chloromethanes manufacturers like SRF and GACL. Secure high-purity solvent for extraction and fluoropolymer synthesis.
Chloroform (CAS 67-66-3) is a key intermediate in the production of HCFC-22 refrigerant (used to make PTFE/Teflon). In the pharmaceutical industry, it is a powerful solvent for alkaloid extraction and purification. Listings include stabilizer-added grades (Ethanol/Amylene) to prevent decomposition into phosgene.
The platform ensures verified supply in solvent drums and tankers, with strict emphasis on regulatory compliance due to its narcotic effects.

Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Causes skin irritation. Suspected of causing cancer. Volatile vapor has anesthetic effects (dizziness/unconsciousness).
No. Chloroform was abandoned as an anesthetic decades ago due to its toxicity to the liver and heart. Modern anesthesia uses safer fluorinated ethers.
Pure Chloroform reacts with oxygen and light to form Phosgene, a deadly gas. Ethanol or Amylene is added to stop this reaction.
Yes, Chloroform is an excellent solvent for acrylics (Plexiglass) and is used to 'weld' plastic pieces together.
Over 90% of global Chloroform is used to make HCFC-22, which is then turned into Teflon (PTFE) and other fluoropolymers.
