About Carbon tetrachloride, GR 99%+

Carbon tetrachloride (CAS 56-23-5) is an analytical reagent grade solvent offered by Vaqora Chemicals in AR grade, specified at ≥99% purity. Formula CCl4, molecular weight 153.8 g/mol. Systematically, it is named tetrachloromethane. Common synonyms include Perchloromethane and Tetrasol.

In its supplied form it is a colourless liquid. Key physical data: a boiling point of 76-77 °C and a density of 1.594 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for analytical reagent work, extraction and recrystallisation and titrimetric analysis. Our customers for this product work in academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L, 25 kg and 160 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
