Odor
Usually odorless. However, those with high chlorine content (65% or over) have an odor.
Other Experimental
... viscosities, densities and refractive indices rise with increasing chlorine content for a given chain length and also with chain length at constant chlorine content. Volatilities ... decrease with an increase in chain length and degree of chlorination.;Practically inert at ordinary temp, particularly toward acids and alkalis; at higher temp attacked by alkalis and oxidizing agents.
Stability
Stable in air;Very low volatility
