Introduction & Uses
Chloroform has many uses as a reagent and as a solvent.
It is a common solvent because it is relatively unreactive, miscible with most organic liquids, and conveniently volatile.
Chloroform is also a key component in the production of acrylic “perspex” glass – where it is used to bond pieces together.
Chloroform is also used in the pharmaceutical industry and in the production of dyes and pesticides.
Chloroform can also be used as an anesthetic.
Source
Product of ROMANIA.
Valetime have worked closely with a major Chinese chemical distributor to source key chemicals produced in Romania that are required in China. Through associate companies in Romania, we now have close links to chemical manufacturers and producers. This opportunity has given us access to a number of new chemical products.
Product of RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Valetime can now supply Chrloroform “Type T” sourced from Russia.
