Halogenated solvents in ASTM testing

Our reliable supply of high-quality solvents ensures that your lab operations remain efficient, accurate, and compliant with industry standards.


ASTM D2176 - Folding Endurance of Paper

Trichloroethylene is used to prepare paper samples by removing contaminants, ensuring accurate folding endurance tests.


ASTM D445 - Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids

Dichloromethane (DCM) and trichloroethylene help in cleaning and preparing viscometers used in this test, ensuring precision and repeatability.


ASTM D1193 - Specification for Reagent Water

Chloroform is employed in the purification and preparation of reagent water, which is critical for maintaining consistency in various ASTM tests.


Halogenated solvents in petroleum, pharmaceutical, and wastewater testing applications

Halogenated solvents are indispensable in extraction, synthesis, and conducting various industry-standard tests.


Solvent extraction image

Solvent extraction

Petroleum testing: Dichloromethane (DCM) is extensively used for solvent extraction in ASTM testing procedures for petroleum products. Its effectiveness in dissolving a wide range of substances ensures precise analysis and accurate results.


Wastewater analysis: Chloroform is commonly used to extract organic pollutants from water samples. This halogenated solvent complies with EPA regulations and ensuring environmental safety.

Chemical synthesis image

Chemical synthesis

Pharmaceuticals: Dichloromethane (DCM) is vital in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its unique properties, such as low boiling point and high solvency, enable precise control over reaction conditions, leading to high-purity products.


Organic synthesis: Chloroform and carbon tetrachloride are essential in various organic reactions, including halogenation and oxidation. These solvents provide the necessary environment for successful chemical transformations, ensuring consistent and reliable outcomes.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing image

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Formulation and purification: Halogenated solvents like dichloromethane (DCM) and chloroform are used in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, aiding in the dissolution and uniform mixing of active ingredients. They are also employed in purification processes to isolate desired compounds from reaction mixtures, ensuring product efficacy and stability.


Pesticide formulation image

Pesticide formulation

Active ingredient extraction: Chlorinated solvents such as carbon tetrachloride and trichloroethylene are used in the production of pesticides. These solvents effectively extract and purify active ingredients, ensuring their potency and stability.


Handling and disposal of DCD and chloroform

Many halogenated solvents like dichloromethane (DCM) and chloroform are considered hazardous and can be harmful to the environment.


By adhering to proper handling and disposal practices, laboratories and industries can manage halogenated solvents safely and responsibly, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Safe handling practices
  1. Personal protective equipment (PPE)
    Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing, to protect against exposure to halogenated solvents. In some cases, a respirator may be necessary if there is a risk of inhaling solvent vapors.
  2. Ventilation
    Use halogenated solvents in well-ventilated areas or under a fume hood to prevent the buildup of harmful vapors. Proper ventilation reduces the risk of inhalation exposure and accumulation of flammable vapors.
  3. Storage
    Store halogenated solvents in tightly sealed containers made of compatible materials. Containers should be clearly labeled and kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition and incompatible substances.
  4. Handling techniques
    Avoid skin contact and inhalation by using appropriate tools such as pipettes, funnels, and dispensing systems. Always handle solvents with care to prevent spills and splashes.
  5. Emergency procedures
    Be familiar with emergency procedures, including spill response and first aid measures . Ensure that safety data sheets (SDS) are readily accessible and that spill kits are available in case of accidental release.

Disposal methods

Neutralization

Some halogenated solvents can be neutralized through chemical reactions to render them less hazardous. This method should be performed by trained personnel using appropriate procedures.


Incineration

High-temperature incineration is an effective method for disposing of halogenated solvents. This process breaks down the solvents into less harmful compounds. It must be conducted in facilities equipped to handle hazardous waste.


Recycling and recovery

Many halogenated solvents can be recycled or purified for reuse. Solvent recovery systems can distill and purify used solvents, reducing waste and lowering disposal costs.


Specialized waste disposal services

Engage certified hazardous waste disposal companies that specialize in the safe handling and disposal of halogenated solvents. These services ensure that waste is treated and disposed of in compliance with regulations.


SECO supports these efforts by providing high-quality solvents, expert guidance, and reliable supply chain solutions.
