Epichlorohydrin Uses

 Epichlorohydrin (CAS NO.106-89-8) is a highly reactive compound,it is often used in the production of plastics,glycerol,  and elastomers. Epichlorohydrin is a versatile precursor in the synthesis of many organic compounds. Epichlorohydrin is also used in water purification and paper reinforcement,such as in the food industry to manufacture coffee filters,tea bags,  and sausage/salami casings.

Epichlorohydrin Production

Epichlorohydrin can be manufactured from allyl chloride in two steps:
