Description

clear colorless to yellowish liquid Bromodichloromethane (BDCM) is a colorless, heavy, non-burnable/non-flammable liquid. It was formerly used as a flame retardant, a solvent for fats and waxes and because of its high density for mineral separation. Now, it is only used as a reagent or intermediate in organic chemistry. Small amounts of BDCM are also made in chemical plants for use in laboratories or in making other chemicals. On contact with hot surfaces or flames, BDMC decomposes forming t

Bromodichloromethane Use and Manufacturing

A volatile halogenated methane present in trace amounts in drinking water as a result of the water treatment process. It is also present in swimming pools due to chlorination and can be used as tracers to identify water leaks. It is useful as chain transfer agents in PVC polymerization. Chemical reagent, intermediate in organic synthesis.
