# 2-chloroethanol analysis laboratory

## Do you want to analyse and measure the 2-chloroethanol present in your products?

### What is 2-chloroethanol?

2-Chloroethanol, also known as ethylene chlorohydrin, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C_2H_5ClO.

2-Chloroethanol is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as epoxides (like ethylene oxide), glycols and various solvents. It is also used as a disinfectant and preservative (due to its [biocidal](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/analysis-and-determination-of-biocidal-agents-in-the-laboratory.md) properties).

### Why carry out an analysis of 2-chloroethanol?

Analysis of 2-chloroethanol is crucial for guaranteeing the quality of chemical products by ensuring their purity and the absence of impurities that could affect chemical reactions or the quality of finished products. It is also essential for detecting and quantifying levels of this toxic compound in working environments and in products, thereby reducing the risk of exposure for workers and consumers. Finally, it enables 2-chloroethanol levels to be monitored to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations in the workplace.

### What do the regulations say about 2-chloroethanol?

In environmental terms, many countries impose strict limits on the levels of 2-chloroethanol in products and industrial emissions. Manufacturers need to carry out analyses to ensure that they comply with these regulations.

In the case of chemicals, compliance with regulations such as [REACH](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-reach-analysis.md) often requires detailed analyses to prove that chemical substances are used safely.
