Epiclorohydrin (CAS 106-89-8; C3H5ClO) is a critical organic intermediate produced via chlorination of propylene or dehydrochlorination of glycerol. It serves as the primary precursor for epoxy resins and polyurethanes.
Strict storage in cool, ventilated areas away from oxidizers is mandatory due to flammability. Personnel must utilize full PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves to prevent carcinogenic exposure and severe skin irritation.
