Chloroform 25L

Description

Chloroform (25L) – Controlled Supply Across Johannesburg & South Africa

Chloroform is a colorless, clear, and non-flammable liquid with a distinct sweet odour. It is only slightly soluble in water and readily evaporates at room temperature. While historically used as an anaesthetic, modern use is limited to industrial, laboratory, and chemical manufacturing applications due to its toxicity and classification as a probable carcinogen.
