Chemical Properties
light brown crystalline solid
General Description
Light-brown crystalline solid.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds, such as 1,2,3,4-TETRACHLORONAPHTHALENE, are very unreactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides.
Fire Hazard
The flash point of 1,2,3,4-TETRACHLORONAPHTHALENE has not been determined, but 1,2,3,4-TETRACHLORONAPHTHALENE is probably combustible.
Uses
1,2,3,4-Tetrachloronaphthalene is a standard for environmental testing and research. Substance for the studies on the pollutant concentration in the placenta: Unborn children are exposed to environmental pollutants via placenta, and there is causal relationship between maternal intake of pollutants and fetal exposure
