Chlorine gas (Cl2, Chlorium) is a yellow-green gas with pungent odor. This gas is heavier than the air. It is inflammable, but it promotes the ignition of other substances. Many reactions may lead to a fire or an explosion. The substance may enter the body with inhalation.

It easily transforms into liquid even at room temperature. If chlorine is released, it produces pungent odor with metallic sweetish taste, and in combination with air forms a cloud of white fog. Very strong oxidant.

  • Toxic liquefied gas of yellowish-green color with an irritating odor
  • Heavier than air
  • Very strong oxidizer.
  • Chlorine is used in the chemical industry for the production of synthetic rubber, polyvinyl chloride, plastics, and various other compounds (hydrochloric acid, bleaching powder, various poisons);
  • In semiconductor manufacturing;
  • As an independent chemical warfare agent, as well as a component of toxic gases (mustard gas, phosgene).
  • Used in the production of medicines.
  • In metallurgy for the production of pure metals (titanium, tin, niobium, tantalum).

Cylinders must be transported in a horizontal position with padding between cylinders or in a vertical position with mandatory protection against possible falling. Transportation in packaged form in special containers is permitted.

Joint transportation with oxygen cylinders is not allowed.

Movement/transportation must comply with the codes of the respective type of transport, federal laws, other regulatory acts, and the legislation of the country where the movement/transportation/handling takes place.

Pure nitrogen is dangerous when transporting
