1-chloro-2-(1-chloropropan-2-yloxy)propane Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
Chemical Properties
Dichloroisopropyl ether is a colorless liquid.
Potential Exposure
BCIE was previously used as a solvent
and as an extractant. It may be formed as a by-product of
propylene oxide production. It has been found in industrial
waste water and in natural water.
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions.
Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. It may form dangerous
peroxides upon standing; may explode when heated.
Waste Disposal
Use special incinerator due to
high HCl content, such as seagoing incinerator ships.
