Chlorendic Anhydride

Chlorendic Anhydride is a solid, reactive flame retardant with an unusually stable chlorinated bicyclic structure. It is mainly used in the synthesis of polymers and in metal working. The PE1 Plus grade is a higher purity grade than standard technical grade material, offering improved color for applications where color is critical. Chlorendic acid is slightly soluble in water and nonpolar organic solvents (e.g. benzene, hexane, carbon tetrachloride). It is easily soluble in slightly polar organic solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone).
