| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Light-yellow, very viscous liquid. Soluble in methanol and ether; very slightly
soluble in water. Nonflammable. | [Hazard]
Toxic by ingestion. | [Potential Exposure]
These materials are used as dielectric fluids in the electrical industry; they may be used as
organic intermediates to make drugs and other chemicals;
and in dry cleaning detergents. Used in the manufacture
of flame-inhibiting polymers, as corrosion inhibitors, drycleaning detergents, thermal lubricants, additives for
soaps and lotions, and in the manufacture of hydraulic
fluids, pesticides, wood preservatives, and electric
insulators. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids.
Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash
immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention
immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove
from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal
precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has
been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

Environmentally hazardous substances, solid, n.o.s., Hazard
class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material,
Technical Name Required. | [Incompatibilities]
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. May be able to form
unstable peroxides. Reacts with aluminum. | [Description]
Chlorinated diphenyl oxide is a white oryellowish waxy solid or very viscous liquid. Molecularweight=376.88; Boiling point=230-260℃at 8 mmHg;361.2 ℃at 760 mmHg; Vapor pressure=4.37 25 mmHg at25℃; Flash point=123℃.Hexachloro Diphenyl Oxide: Autoignitiontemperature=620℃. Hazard Identification (based onNFPA 704 M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 1,Reactivity 0. | [Waste Disposal]
For trichloro phenyl ether,
solution in a flammable solvent and incineration in a furnace with afterburner and scrubber is recommended. | [storage]
Color Code—Green: General storage may be used.Prior to working with chlorinated diphenyl oxides youshould be trained on its proper handling and storage. Storein tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area.Metal containers involving the transfer of this chemicalshould be grounded and bonded. Where possible, automatically pump liquid from drums or other storage containers toprocess containers. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Useonly nonsparking tools and equipment, especially whenopening and closing containers of this chemical. Sources ofignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibitedwhere this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a mannerthat could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. |

III | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by
ingestion and probably by inhalation.
Combustible when exposed to heat, flame,
or oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use
water spray, fog, foam, dry chemical, CO2.
When heated to decomposition it emits
toxic fumes of Cl-. See also ETHERS and
ALDRIN (a closely related compound). | [Toxicity]
