Description and Uses

Acetylene dichloride is a colourless liquid (usually a mixture of the cis and trans isomers) with a slightly acrid, chloroform-like odour. Acetylene dichloride is a chemical used mainly in the production of perfumes, dyes, and thermoplastics. The type and severity of symptoms varies depending on the amount of chemical involved and the nature of the exposure. It is incompatible with strong oxidisers, strong alkalis, potassium hydroxide, and copper. Acetylene dichloride is highly flammable and in a fire gives off irritating or toxic fumes/gases. (Acetylene dichloride usually contains inhibitors to prevent polymerisation.)

1,2-Dichloroethylene is used as a solvent for organic materials and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chlorinated compounds; it may be produced by the chlorination of acetylene but is often produced as a by-product in the manufacture of other chlorinated compounds.
