D-Chloroform, also known as trichloromethane, is a colorless, volatile liquid widely used as a solvent in laboratories, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and as a precursor in organic synthesis. It is also employed in medical applications for its anesthetic properties and in metal cleaning processes. Industrially, it serves mainly as the feedstock for making the refrigerant HCFC-22 and, through it, PTFE plastics, and as a solvent for fats, oils, waxes, resins and rubber. This chemical has a CAS number of 67-66-3, with the molecular formula CHCl3 and a molecular weight of 119.38 g/mol. It should be stored at ambient conditions, though it must be kept in tightly sealed containers due to its volatility. The substance carries a "Danger" signal word, indicating high toxicity and potential environmental hazards. Molekula supplies D-Chloroform from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
