Trichloromethane (Chloroform) is a chlorinated solvent that appears as a colorless liquid with a characteristic sweet odor. It has high volatility, a density greater than that of water, and partial miscibility in aqueous media, while being fully miscible with most organic solvents, such as ethers, alcohols, and halogenated hydrocarbons. It is a chemically stable, nonflammable compound with low polarity, known for its efficiency in dissolving nonpolar and oily substances.
In the industrial sector, it is mainly used as a solvent in extraction and purification processes, as well as in the formulation of adhesives, greases, and degreasing agents. It also serves as a chemical intermediate in the production of fluorocarbons and other chlorinated compounds, in addition to being used in synthesis reactions and formulations that require a stable solvent with a high dissolution capacity for organic compounds. (CAS: 67-66-3)
