Description
1,2,3-Trichloropropane (CAS 96-18-4, EC 202-486-1) is a chlorinated solvent commercially known as TCP, Trichlorohydrin, and HCC 260DA. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29031980 for customs and trade documentation purposes.
In plastics and polymer processing, TCP functions as a solvent for chlorinated rubber and select resins, dissolving these materials to enable coating and adhesive formulations. In pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, it serves as a reaction medium and chemical intermediate, where its chlorine substituents make it reactive toward nucleophilic substitution in active ingredient manufacturing.
TCP is available in industrial-grade liquid form and is subject to REACH regulation within the EU, requiring suppliers to provide a compliant Safety Data Sheet and confirm substance registration status. Procurement teams should verify SVoC classification implications and confirm packaging specifications, typically drums or IBCs, directly with the supplier.
