About Carbon tetrachloride, 99%

Listed under CAS 56-23-5, Carbon tetrachloride is a laboratory solvent available from Vaqora Chemicals in Synthesis grade, specified at 99% purity. Formula CCl4, molecular weight 153.8 g/mol. Systematically, it is named tetrachloromethane. It is also known as CTC or Perchloromethane.

It is supplied as a colourless liquid. Key physical data: a melting point of −23 °C and a boiling point of 76-77 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include reaction medium, extraction and work-up and cleaning and rinsing. Typical end-use sectors are academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Carbon tetrachloride in 500 mL, 5 L, 25 kg and 160 kg packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
