Description
Allyl chloride (CAS 107-05-1, EC 203-457-6, formula C3H5Cl) is a reactive organochlorine compound also known as 3-chloropropene, chlorallylene, and NSC 20939. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29032990 for customs and trade documentation purposes.
In plastics and polymer manufacturing, allyl chloride serves as a monomer and building block, reacting with other compounds to initiate polymerization chains in the production of flame-retardant materials. In water treatment and agriculture, it functions as a biocidal agent, disrupting microbial cell processes to control bacterial and algal growth in industrial systems and crop protection formulations.
Allyl chloride is supplied in technical grade for industrial applications and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Union. Procurement teams should confirm SDS compliance and ADR transport classifications prior to ordering, given its flammability and hazard profile. Packaging formats and minimum order quantities are available on request.
