Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

Solvent in Drug Synthesis: Historically used as a solvent or reaction medium in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), though now largely replaced due to toxicity concerns.
Intermediate in Fine Chemicals: Acts as a chemical intermediate in producing pharmaceutical-grade chlorinated intermediates.

2. Performance Chemicals

Intermediate in Chlorinated Compounds: Used as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of chemicals like trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and vinyl chloride.
Laboratory Solvent: Occasionally used in research labs for organic synthesis and extraction procedures involving chlorinated systems.

3. Construction

Degreasing Agent (Historical Use): Previously used for cleaning and degreasing metal components in construction-related fabrication; now phased out due to environmental and health risks.
Paint Remover Component: Formerly used in paint and varnish removers, particularly for industrial applications.

4. Agrochemicals

Intermediate in Pesticide Production: Used as a building block in the synthesis of certain older-generation pesticides and fumigants.
Solvent for Agrochemical Formulations (Historic): Acted as a solvent for some pesticide concentrates, now restricted or banned in many regions.

5. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

Solvent in Adhesives (Former Use): Previously used in the formulation of chlorinated rubber adhesives and sealants for industrial use.
Cleaning Agent for Equipment (Past Use): Utilized as a cleaning solvent for machinery and equipment in adhesive manufacturing.
