    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Are hexachloroethane and perchloroethane the same substance?

      A: Yes. Hexachloroethane and perchloroethane are alternative names for the same chemical compound and correspond to CAS 67-72-1.
    • Q:

      Is hexachloroethane supplied for metallurgical processing rather than consumer applications?

      A: It is typically supplied as an industrial ingredient intended for controlled metallurgical processes such as aluminum melt treatment, not for consumer or household use.
