This 25-liter tinplate container holds Chloroform (CAS 67-66-3), a halogenated hydrocarbon and chlorine compound used as an alternative to xylene in certain applications within life science, histology, and microscopy. With a Molecular Weight of 119.38 g/mol, it is crucial to handle this substance with care in a well-ventilated area, wearing safety goggles, gloves, and following workplace precautions such as no smoking, no eating or drinking, and no unauthorized access. The recommended occupational exposure limit value for Chloroform is 10 mg/m3 (2 ppm), as per Directive 2000/39/EC. It is essential to adhere to these limits to minimize potential health risks associated with its use.
