As mordant, reviving colors, dehydrating agent in organic syntheses, stabilizer for colors & perfumes in soap, in dyeing of fabrics, weighting silk, tinning vessels, in ceramics to produce abrasion resistant or light reflecting coatings.

Reported in EPA TSCA Inventory. EPA Genetic Toxicology Program.

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by inhalation. A corrosive irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Combustible by chemical reaction. Upon contact with moisture, considerable heat is generated. Violent reaction with K, Na, turpentine, ethylene oxide, alkyl nitrates. Dangerous; hydrochloric acid is liberated on contact with moisture or heat. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl⁻. See also HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
