Carbon tetrachloride (Cat No.:R064233) is a clear, volatile, and non-flammable liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. Once widely used as a cleaning agent, fire extinguisher fluid, and solvent, it is now primarily utilized as a chemical intermediate in the production of refrigerants and chlorinated compounds due to its toxicity. Its high density and excellent solvency make it valuable in laboratory and industrial applications. Carbon tetrachloride is strictly regulated because of its harmful effects on the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system, as well as its ozone-depleting potential.
