1,6-Dichlorohexane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colourless liquid

General Description

Colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

1,6-Dichlorohexane is incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire [USCG, 1999].

Health Hazard

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
