Chloroform: High-Purity Industrial Solvent
Chloroform (Trichloromethane) is a versatile, heavy, and colorless liquid characterized by its sweet odor and high density. As a leading raw chemical seller in India and an international distribution partner, we supply technical-grade Chloroform tailored for the industrial chemicals sector. Recognized for its exceptional solvent power, Chloroform is a vital intermediate in the production of refrigerants and a key reagent in advanced pharmaceutical and organic synthesis.
Commercial Applications & Industrial Use
Chloroform serves as a fundamental building block in various high-volume industrial processes, particularly in the plastics and chemical manufacturing sectors.
-
Fluorocarbon Production: The primary industrial use for Chloroform is in the manufacturing of HCFC-22 (Chlorodifluoromethane), a critical precursor for producing fluoropolymers like Teflon (PTFE).
-
Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Widely utilized as an extraction solvent and a reagent in the production of alkaloids, antibiotics, and vitamins.
-
Laboratory Reagent: An essential solvent for analytical chemistry, particularly in the extraction and purification of lipids, oils, and other organic compounds.
-
Industrial Solvent: Used in the production of pesticides, dyes, and rubber, as well as a solvent for fats, waxes, and resins in specialized manufacturing.
-
Adhesives and Film Manufacturing: Employed in the formulation of specific adhesives and as a processing agent in the manufacture of high-performance films.
Secure Industrial Sourcing and Logistics
Due to its volatile nature and regulatory requirements, sourcing high-purity solvents requires a partner committed to safety and compliance. As a trusted chemical manufacturer and supplier, we ensure our Chloroform is stabilized and stored in airtight, amber-colored containers to prevent decomposition. We provide bulk procurement with specialized logistical support for secure delivery to industrial hubs in India and global ports.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the primary industrial application of Chloroform?
Its largest industrial application is the production of Chlorodifluoromethane (HCFC-22), which is used as a refrigerant and as a raw material for producing PTFE (Teflon). -
How should Chloroform be stored to maintain stability?
It should be stored in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Because it can react with oxygen in the presence of light to form phosgene, it is typically stored in dark glass or specially lined metal containers with added stabilizers. -
Is Chloroform miscible with other organic solvents?
Yes, it is highly miscible with most organic solvents, including alcohols, ethers, and oils, making it an excellent medium for organic extractions. -
Can Chloroform be shipped internationally?
Yes. We manage all specialized packaging, hazardous material classification, and regulatory documentation required for safe global transit. -
Do you offer bulk pricing for pharmaceutical manufacturers?
Absolutely. We provide competitive bulk rates for industrial and pharmaceutical consumers. You can contact us via our contact page or through our direct WhatsApp channel for an immediate quote.
