Other Names: Chlordane
Formula: C10H6Cl8
Sp. Gr.: 1.6
Viscosity: 22 cPs. @ 38ºC / 100 SSU @ 100ºF

Remarks: Colorless, odorless, slightly viscous liquid, b.p. 175ºC / 347ºF; soluble in many organic solvents, insoluble in water; miscible in kerosene. Used as an insecticide in oil emulsions and dispersible liquids. Liquid is harmful if swallowed; can be absorbed through the skin. When used as an insecticide, Chlordan is reduced with water and becomes water-thin.

Pump Notes: Cast iron construction is satisfactory. Will cause rapid rusting of iron parts when pump is left exposed to air. Keep full of liquid or flush and fill with oil. Viton®, PTFE or Kalrez® elastomers are recommended. Mechanical shaft seal is recommended.
