Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)Oxalate?
A: The CAS number is 77732-40-2. This identifier is verified against the Chemical Abstracts Service Master File and used for regulatory documentation and SDS referencing.
Q2: What is the recommended concentration range when formulating chemiluminescent devices?
A: Typical working concentrations range from 0.5% to 5.0% w/v in organic solvent carriers; optimal intensity and duration are achieved at 2.0–3.5% w/v with hydrogen peroxide catalyst and fluorescent dye co-activators.
Q3: How does it compare to TCPO (Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate) and CPPO in terms of performance and safety?
A: Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)oxalate is chemically identical to TCPO — “TCPO” is the widely accepted industry synonym. It offers higher thermal stability and lower water sensitivity than CPPO (bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)oxalate), with comparable quantum yield but improved formulation robustness.
Q4: Is migration or extraction into food simulants a concern for packaging-related applications?
A: Not applicable for direct food contact use. Bis(2,4,6-Trichlorophenyl)oxalate is not approved under FDA 21 CFR or EU Regulation (EC) No 10/2011 for food-contact materials due to lack of migration data and structural persistence; it is strictly intended for closed-system industrial and diagnostic applications.
