Chlorinated diphenyl oxide is a white or
yellowish waxy solid or very viscous liquid.
These materials are used as dielectric fluids in the electrical industry; they may be used as
organic intermediates to make drugs and other chemicals;
and in dry cleaning detergents. Used in the manufacture
of flame-inhibiting polymers, as corrosion inhibitors, drycleaning detergents, thermal lubricants, additives for
soaps and lotions, and in the manufacture of hydraulic
fluids, pesticides, wood preservatives, and electric
insulators.

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. May be able to form
unstable peroxides. Reacts with aluminum.
For trichloro phenyl ether,
solution in a flammable solvent and incineration in a furnace with afterburner and scrubber is recommended.
