    Product Description

    Hexachloroethane

    Synonyms: Perchloroethane; Dicarbon hexachloride; Carbon hexachloride; HCE

    CAS number: 67-72-1

    EINECS number: 200-666-4

    Molecular formula: C₂Cl₆

    Molecular weight: 236.74

    Density: 2.09 g/cm³

    Thermal behavior: Sublimes at about 185 °C at atmospheric pressure. Confirm the test method when comparing melting-range specifications.

    Flash point: Not applicable (noncombustible solid).

    Appearance: White crystalline powder

    Water solubility: Very low; NIOSH reports about 0.005% at 22 °C. Confirm solvent-specific solubility in the TDS.

    Hexachloroethane has been used for aluminum-melt degassing and as a chemical intermediate. Specify the intended process and destination. EU REACH Annex XVII Entry 41 prohibits its placing on the market or use for non-ferrous metal manufacture or processing.

    Send the required assay, impurity limits, quantity, packaging and destination. Request COA/TDS/SDS for the offered grade and confirm the analytical methods before ordering.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Are Hexachloroethane, HCE and Perchloroethane the same compound?

      A: Yes. These names identify CAS 67-72-1, formula C2Cl6. It is a volatile chlorinated solid and is not tetrachloroethylene or carbon tetrachloride. State the CAS number and required industrial use when requesting a grade.
    • Q:

      What is Hexachloroethane used for?

      A: Hexachloroethane has been used for aluminum-melt degassing and as a chemical intermediate. Specify the intended process and destination. EU REACH Annex XVII Entry 41 prohibits its placing on the market or use for non-ferrous metal manufacture or processing.
    • Q:

      What should be checked before purchasing industrial Hexachloroethane?

      A: Agree assay and method, appearance, water, melting range, nonvolatile residue and relevant chlorinated impurities. Because uses and regulatory controls differ by destination, confirm the lawful industrial application and packaging.
    • Q:

      What physical and handling properties should be reviewed?

      A: Hexachloroethane is a colorless to white crystalline solid with very low water solubility. It sublimes at about 185 °C at atmospheric pressure. Confirm the test method and specification in the TDS; review the SDS for handling and storage.
    • Q:

      Which documents and order details should be requested for Hexachloroethane?

      A: Send the required assay, impurity limits, quantity, packaging and destination. Request COA/TDS/SDS for the offered grade and confirm the analytical methods before ordering.
