| 2-Chloroethanol, is used in the preparation of TTFTT (tetrathiafulvalene-2,3,6,7-tetrathiolate) and important building block in TTF synthesis. It is used in the synthesis of vinyltriazoles. This is the labeled analog. |
| In addition, 2-Chloroethanol is used in a number of specialized applications. Several dyes are prepared by the alkylation of aniline derivatives with Chloroethanol. |
| It is a building block in the production of pharmaceuticals, biocides and plasticizers. |
| It is also used for manufacture of thiodiglycol. |
| It is a solvent for cellulose acetate and ethyl cellulose, textile printing dyes, in dewaxing, refining of rosin, extraction of pine lignin, and the cleaning of machines. |
| Kept in Cool, ventilated area. Keep in closed & sealed container below 450C. |
| HDPE drum packaging (we can package depending upon customer requirements, e.g. 50 or 200kg). |
