Clophen A60 is a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) compound, characterized by its complex mixture of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. It is primarily used as an insulating fluid in electrical equipment and as a heat transfer medium due to its thermal stability and electrical insulating properties. Clophen A60 is known for its high viscosity and low volatility, which contribute to its effectiveness in various industrial applications. However, PCBs, including Clophen A60, are recognized for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity, leading to significant regulatory scrutiny and restrictions on their use. They can bioaccumulate in the food chain and have been associated with various health risks, including endocrine disruption and carcinogenic effects. As a result, handling and disposal of Clophen A60 require strict adherence to safety protocols to mitigate environmental and health impacts. Its chemical structure typically includes multiple chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, influencing its physical and chemical properties, such as solubility and reactivity.
