1,2-Bis(chloromethoxy)ethane Use and Manufacturing
Although 1,2-bis(chloromethoxy)ethane does not appear to have been used commercially, it has been investigated for potential commercial use on cellulosic textiles for imparting crease resistance; improving wet strength and facilitating dyeing; as a stabilizer for vulcanized rubbers; as a curing agent for epoxy resins; in the preparation of light-sensitive polymers for lithographic plates; and in the synthesis of ion-exchange resins.
