HEXACHLOROETHANE ci ci ii Cl - C - C - Cl II Cl Cl Hex-ethane is a colorless crystal which,, when heated, BECOMES A VAPOR WITHOUT EVER PASSING THROUGH A LIQUID STAGE, (It "sublimes") Hex-ethane is very readily abosrbed through the skin in TOXIC AMOUNTS. OVEREXPOSURE, EITHER BY SKIN ABSORPTION OR INHALATION, CAUSES LIVER AND KIDNEY DAMAGE, / 1The tlv for hex-ethane is ppm, life threatening. 300 ppm is immediately Reaction of hex-ethane with iron, aluminum, zinc or alkalies will produce spontaneously explosive chloroacetylene. When heated to decomposition, hex-ethane EMITS HIGHLY TOXIC FUMES OF PHOSGENE, In addition, hex-ethane is metabolized by the body - converted by the body into other compounds, These compounds have been measured in exhaled breath and it's / interesting to note that two of the compounds present WERE PERCHLOR AND SYMETRICAL TETRAS, HO 077883 CONFIDENTIAL
