General Description
White to light tan or pink flakes or white crystals. Insoluble in water. Slight phenolic odor.
Air & Water Reactions
Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Clorofene is incompatible with acids and oxidizing agents . Is sensitive to light. Stable at temperatures up to 77°F when protected from light, but storage at 140° F causes decomposition.
Hazard
Highly toxic, an irritant.
Fire Hazard
Clorofene is combustible.
