Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Flame retardant in unsaturated polyester resins, chemical intermediate for chlorendic acid, hardener for epoxy resins.

Polymers for building materials, paints, and other coatings.

Industrial uses: Flame retardant.

How it is made

Diels-alder reaction of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with maleic anhydride

The starting material is the fully chlorinated dicyclopentadiene cracked to monomeric hexachlorocyclopentadiene, which is then converted via Diels-Alder reaction with maleic anhydride to a reactive bicyclic anhydride, known as chlorendic anhydride.
