Chlorinated Organics

Chemical Processing Industry

Chlorinated solvents are used in an array of different applications throughout the chemical processing industry worldwide. They are ideal for formulations, extractions and a variety of catalyst processes. Chlorinated solvents offer the inherent stability, ease of separation, and high evaporation rate that make them ideal as process solvents for films, plastics, and elastomeric materials. They are also used in the processing of inks, and as a catalyst rechloriding agent in the production of high octane fuels.
