Chloroform is a dense, colorless, volatile liquid primarily used as a solvent in chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical formulations, and analytical laboratories. Industrially, it is chiefly used as a feedstock for making the refrigerant HCFC-22 and fluoropolymers such as PTFE, and as a solvent for fats, oils, rubber, waxes and resins. It serves as a reagent in organic reactions and extraction processes but requires careful handling due to its toxicity and potential to degrade into phosgene. This product meets ≥99% purity, with a CAS number of 67-66-3, molecular formula CHCl3, and a molecular weight of 119.38 g/mol. It is classified as hazardous with the signal word "Danger" and should be stored at ambient conditions. Molekula supplies Chloroform from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
