Chloromethane also called methyl chloride. It was once widely used as a refrigerant. It is a colorless extremely flammable gas with a mildly sweet odor. Due to concerns about its toxicity, it is no longer present in consumer products. Chloromethane was a widely used refrigerant, but its use has been discontinued due to its toxicity and flammability. Chloromethane was also once used for producing lead-based gasoline additives. The most important use of chloromethane today is as a chemical intermediate in the production of silicone polymers. Smaller quantities are used as a solvent in the manufacture of butyl rubber and in petroleum refining.
