1. What Is Epichlorohydrin?

Epichlorohydrin (ECH) is a highly reactive organic compound, characterized by its colorless liquid form and pungent, sweet odor. Known chemically as (CH2CHOCH2Cl), it is an epoxide derived from the chlorination of propylene. HighMountainChem’s Epichlorohydrin plays a pivotal role in the manufacturing of epoxy resins, synthetic glycerin, and elastomers, serving a broad spectrum of industries from aerospace to consumer goods with its versatile applications.

2. Definition and Chemical Composition

Epichlorohydrin, with its molecular formula C3H5ClO, is a chlorinated oxirane that exhibits excellent reactivity due to the strained three-membered epoxide ring coupled with the presence of a chlorine atom. This unique structure makes ECH an indispensable intermediate in the production of various important chemicals and polymers. At HighMountainChem, we ensure our Epichlorohydrin meets the highest quality standards, reflecting our commitment to providing superior chemical products.
