Uses
Mercury(I) chloride is used in calomel electrodes; in ceramic painting; as a fungicide; in pyrotechnics for producing dark green light; in agriculture for controlling root maggots; and as an antiseptic and antisyphilitic agent in medicine. MERCUROUS CHLORIDE is used by the pharmaceutical
industry and is used also as a fungicide, as a poison, in fireworks, and to control maggots. Dark green Bengal lights; calomel paper, mixed with gold in painting on porcelain; for calomel electrodes; as fungicide; in agriculture to control root maggots on cabbage and onions. Calomel is used as a laboratory reagent, as a fungicide, and as
a depolarizer in dry batteries.
