Frequently asked questions
What is Germanium Tetrachloride (CAS 10038-98-9) used for?
Germanium tetrachloride is used to make optical fibre. It is the precursor that deposits germanium dioxide as the dopant that raises the refractive index of the fibre core during preform manufacture. It is also an intermediate in producing high-purity germanium and germanium dioxide.
What are the molecular formula and molecular weight?
The molecular formula is Cl4Ge (GeCl4) and the molecular weight is 214.4.
What grade is available?
This product is offered at 99.999% (5N) purity.
What are the main hazards?
It carries the signal word Danger with hazard statements H314, H318, H330, H335, H400 and H412. These mean it causes severe skin burns and eye damage, is fatal if inhaled, may cause respiratory irritation, and is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.
