Use
Hexachloroethane was reported to be used as a chemical intermediate, as a flux agent for grain refining and degassing of aluminum alloys, and as a flame retardant in industrial laminating resins. It was also reported to be used as a reactant in military smoke ammunition. Other uses of hexachloroethane noted in earlier scientific and technical literature were in military pyrotechnics, in the metallurgical industry, as a plasticizer, as an ignition suppressant, as a processing aid in various industrial processes, as a component of fungicidal and insecticidal formulations, and (formerly) as an anthelmintic in veterinary medicine.
