Use dry sand, powder, carbon dioxide. NO hydrous agents.

SKIN IRRITANT.

Personal protection: chemical protection suit and particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered plastic containers. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Separated from strong oxidants. Dry. Well closed. Do NOT store or transport in containers made from metal.

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

The substance is corrosive to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Corrosive on ingestion. Exposure could cause asphyxiation due to swelling in the throat. Inhalation may cause lung oedema.

NO open flames. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Protective clothing. Protective gloves.

Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.

Drug Information

Terephthaloyl chloride Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Terephthaloyl chloride (TCL, 1,4-benzenedicarbonyl chloride) is the acid chloride of terephthalic acid and is one of two monomers used to make Kevlar(R), the other being p-phenylenediamine. Its CAS reference number is 100-20-9 and its chemical formula is C8H4Cl2O2.TCL is used as a key component in performance polymers and aramid fibers, where it imparts flame resistance, chemical resistance, temperature stability, light weight, and very high strength. TCL is also an effective water scavenger, used to stabilize isocyanates and urethane prepolymers.TCL is a white crystalline solid at room temperature, soluble in common organic solvents. Its melting point is 81.5-83 °C, its boiling point is 265 °C. It is corrosive.TCL is used for making various copolymers and aramid polymers such as Heracron, Twaron and Kevlar(R):
