As an industrialist you wish to analyze the chloroform present in your products
What is chloroform?
Chloroform (or trichloromethane) is a halogenated hydrocarbon. It materializes as a colorless, highly volatile liquid.
In the environment, chloroform has a tendency to escape into the atmosphere because of its high volatility and its low adsorption capacity. Its natural origins are mainly seawater and rock transformation.
Chloroform is currently used :
- In the manufacture of chlorofluorinated hydrocarbons (Teflon for example)
- In the extraction of essential oils and alkaloids
- In the extraction of antibiotics, hormones, nicotine, quinine, vitamins… in the pharmaceutical industry
- As a solvent and purification agent in the plastics industry
- As an anesthetic
Note that chloroform is registered in the register of chemical substances Reach, with a ban on the marketing of mixtures in concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% by weight and is part of the list of substances banned in cosmetic products by Regulation (EC) 2009/1223 on these products.
