| | 1,3,5-trichloro-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)benzene Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Chlorinated diphenyl oxide is a white or
yellowish waxy solid or very viscous liquid. | | Uses | Chemical intermediates; in the electrical
industry | | Health Hazard | Chlorinated diphenyl oxide
causes an acneform dermatitis (chloracne).
Limited experience with humans has
shown that exposure to even small amounts of
the higher chlorinated derivatives, particularly
hexachlorodiphenyl oxide, may result in appreciable
acneform dermatitis.1 Chloracne
is usually persistent and affects the face, ears,
neck, shoulders, arms, chest, and abdomen
(especially around the umbilicus and on the
scrotum). The most sensitive areas are below
and to the outer side of the eye (malar crescent)
and behind the ear.2 The skin is frequently dry
with noninflammatory comedones and pale
yellow cysts containing sebaceous matter and
keratin. | | 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. | | Shipping | UN3082 Environmentally hazardous substances,
liquid, n.o.s., Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9-Miscellaneous hazardous material, Technical Name Required. UN3077
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. | | Waste Disposal | For trichloro phenyl ether,
solution in a flammable solvent and incineration in a furnace with afterburner and scrubber is recommended. |
