General Description

AROCLOR 5460 is a commercial mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that is composed of various chlorinated biphenyl compounds. PCBs are a group of synthetic organic chemicals that were widely used in industrial and commercial applications before their production was banned due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. AROCHLOR 5460 was commonly used in electrical transformers, capacitors, and hydraulic systems. It is a viscous, amber-colored liquid with a characteristic odor, and is considered a hazardous substance due to its toxicity, persistence, and potential for bioaccumulation in the environment. Regulatory agencies advise strict precautions and proper disposal methods for AROCHLOR 5460 to prevent exposure and environmental contamination.
