Dikloretan
Dikloretan (Product Code: SCI-489/209) is an analytical reagent grade chlorinated solvent (dichloroethane) used for liquid–liquid extraction and for dissolving non-polar organic compounds in college and research chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 100 ml with its MSDS for labs that need a dense, water-immiscible solvent. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of laboratory chemicals.

What Is Dikloretan Used For?
Dichloroethane is denser than water and does not mix with it, so in a separating funnel it forms the lower layer — a useful contrast to lighter solvents such as ether or cyclohexane when students learn extraction technique. It dissolves fats, oils, resins and many organic compounds, and colleges use it as a reaction and extraction solvent and in lessons on halogenoalkanes.
The name Dikloretan is a non-English spelling of dichloroethane; most laboratories using this solvent mean 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride), so confirm the isomer when you order. It is flammable, toxic by inhalation and a potential carcinogen, so dispense it only in a fume cupboard, wear gloves suited to chlorinated solvents, keep it away from flames and collect used solvent as halogenated waste.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Dikloretan to laboratories that need a halogenated extraction solvent, along with the separating funnels and fume cupboards used to handle it. The company works from Ambala, Haryana, and supplies education and research buyers across India and international markets. Visit the ScienceLab profile page for more about the company.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Extraction work with Dikloretan is usually set up with these items:
- Separating Funnel 500ml — for extractions in which the dense solvent forms the lower layer.
- Trichloromethane (Chloroform) — another dense chlorinated solvent for comparison.
- Polypropylene Ducted Fume Cupboard — vents chlorinated solvent vapour out of the room.
- Reagent Bottle Narrow Mouth, Amber Glass — stores small working quantities away from light.
- Gloves, Chemical Resistant — hand protection while dispensing the solvent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dikloretan the same as dichloroethane?
Yes, Dikloretan is a non-English spelling of dichloroethane, a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. Laboratory use normally refers to 1,2-dichloroethane, also called ethylene dichloride; if your method specifies a particular isomer or grade, state it in your enquiry so we can confirm before dispatch.
Why does Dikloretan form the lower layer in a separating funnel?
Dikloretan (dichloroethane) is denser than water and immiscible with it, so it settles below the aqueous layer in a separating funnel. Students therefore run off the organic extract through the tap first, the opposite of what happens with lighter solvents such as ether.
What pack size is Dikloretan available in?
Dikloretan (SCI-489/209) is listed as a 100 ml pack of analytical reagent grade and is supplied with its MSDS. For larger extraction courses, tell us the number of packs you need and we will quote the full quantity.
What safety precautions apply to Dikloretan?
Dikloretan is flammable, toxic if inhaled and a potential carcinogen. Use it only in a working fume cupboard, keep ignition sources away, wear goggles and gloves suited to chlorinated solvents, and collect all residues as halogenated waste as described in the MSDS.
What is the shelf life of Dikloretan?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Dikloretan. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, ventilated solvent store.
Who supplies Dikloretan on this site?
Dikloretan on scilabexport.com is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources solvents and reagents for school, college and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.
