CAS 35065-29-3: PCB 180
Description:PCB 180, or polychlorinated biphenyl 180, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential toxicity. With the CAS number 35065-29-3, PCB 180 is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes multiple chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, resulting in a complex arrangement that affects its physical and chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to light yellow viscous liquid or solid, depending on the temperature. PCB 180 is known for its hydrophobic nature, low volatility, and high thermal stability, making it resistant to degradation. It has been used in various industrial applications, including electrical equipment, heat transfer fluids, and as a plasticizer. However, due to its environmental and health concerns, including potential carcinogenic effects and bioaccumulation in the food chain, the production and use of PCBs have been largely banned or restricted in many countries. Monitoring and remediation efforts are ongoing to address the legacy of PCB contamination in the environment.
