Epichlorohydrin (ECH)

Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is a vital organic chemical raw material and intermediate. It is a colorless, volatile, unstable liquid with a pungent, chloroform-like odor. Its molecule contains both an epoxide group and a chlorine atom, making it highly reactive. It is primarily used to produce epoxy resins, synthetic glycerol, ion-exchange resins, and others. It is highly toxic, a strong irritant to the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin, and a suspected carcinogen, requiring extreme handling caution.
