Chloroform, also known by various other names such as Trichloromethane, Formyl trichloride, and
Methane, is an organic compound having the molecular formula CHCl3 and molecular weight 119.369
g/mol. It is a clear, colorless, and highly refractive liquid with pleasant, ether-like odor, and sweet taste.
It is denser than water and nonflammable under majority of conditions but burns under extreme
conditions. Chloroform has a boiling point of 143-00b0F at 760 mm Hg or 62-00b0C and a melting point
of -82.3-00b0F or -63.41-00b0C. It has a density of 1.4832 at 68-00b0F or 1.4788 g/cu m at 25-00b0C. Its
vapor density is 4.12 and vapor pressure is 100 mm Hg at 50.72-00b0F or 197 mm Hg at 25-00b0C.
Liquid Chloroform shows a tendency to react adversely with certain forms of plastics, rubber, and
coatings. Chloroform can be produced by two methods viz. the action of bleaching powder on alcohol or
acetone and by chlorination of methane.

Historically, Chloroform was used in healthcare industry as an anesthetic. The use has been discontinued
in many countries due to its suspected carcinogenicity. In fact, sustained exposure to Chloroform can
lead to impaired liver function, nausea, cardiac arrhythmia, and central nervous system dysfunction.
However, Chloroform is still used in certain pharmaceuticals and dental procedures.
The Chloroform market has expanded at modest rate during the last few years owing to its use in
manufacturing several products such as pesticides, dyes, fire extinguishers, fluoropolymers, and
hydrochlorofluorocarbon-22 (HCFC-22). Chloroform is relatively unreactive and miscible with majority of
liquids such as water, alcohol, and ether. This property acts as a major driving factor for Chloroform
market. Meanwhile, the Montreal Protocol requires phasing-out the use of HCFC-22 between 2010 to
2020 because of its ozone-depleting tendency. Effectively, a restraint on the Chloroform market is its
use in manufacturing products which are harmful to the environment. Governments have also imposed
strict regulations on the use and handling of Chloroform to safeguard the population from its harmful
effects. The regulations have further slowed down the growth rate of the market.
