Reactivity Profile
CHLORENDIC ACID(115-28-6) readily forms salts with a variety of metals .
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Potential Exposure
Chlorendic acid is used to make other
chemicals, polyester resins; in fiberglass reinforced resins;
used for anticorrosion equipment and flame retardant applications of fabrics
Fire Hazard
This chemical will burn when subject to direct flame, but is self-extinguishing when the flame is removed.
First aid
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the
skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately
with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately.
If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,
begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR if
heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical
facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce
vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.
Shipping
UN2928 Toxic solids, corrosive, organic, n.o.s.,
Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials,
8-Corrosive material, Technical Name Required.
Incompatibilities
Compounds of the carboxyl group react
with all bases, both inorganic and organic (i.e., amines)
releasing substantial heat, water, and a salt that may be
harmful. Incompatible with arsenic compounds (releases
hydrogen cyanide gas), diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, sulfides (releasing
heat, toxic, and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates,
and dithionites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of
sulfur).
Chemical Properties
Chlorendic acid is a colorless crystalline solid.
Waste Disposal
Dispose of contents and container to an approved waste disposal plant. All federal, state,
and local environmental regulations must be observed.
Uses
Chlorendic acid is used as a flame retardant in polyurethane foams, resins, plasticizers, coatings, epoxy resins, and wool fabrics; in the manufacture of alkyl resins for special paints and inks; in the manufacture of polyester resins with special applications in electrical systems,paneling, engineering plastics, and paint; and in the manufacture of corrosion-resistant tanks, piping, and scrubbers. Chlorendic acid is also used as an extreme-pressure lubricant (NTP 1987, IARC 1990, IPCS 1996, HSDB 2009).
Uses
Hexachlorobicyclo[2.?2.1]?hept-?5-?ene-?2,?3-?dicarboxylic Acid is a novel flame retardant (NFR) which has also been observed as a toxic and environmental pollutant. Chlorinated Reactive Flame Retardant IntermediateEnvironmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list.
Definition
ChEBI: A bridged organochlorine compound resulting from the Diels-Alder reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with maleic anhydride followed by hydrolysis of the resulting anhydride. A chemical intermediate used in the preparation of fire-retardant polyester resi
s and plasticisers.
Carcinogenicity
Chlorendic acid is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogenbased on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in experimental animals.
