It has significant effects on treating diseases such as nematode disease, stomach leech disease, and liver leech disease in ruminant animals. In addition, it can also be used to treat parasitic infections such as clonorchiasis, providing strong support for the development of animal husbandry.

2. Pharmaceutical raw materials
Although it has certain toxicity, it can still be used as a raw material or intermediate for certain drugs in the pharmaceutical field. Through specific chemical reactions, it can be converted into compounds with medicinal value for the treatment of certain diseases. However, due to its toxicity, the application of hexachloroethan in the pharmaceutical field requires strict control of dosage and usage conditions.

Preparation of insecticides and deworming agents:
It also has a wide range of applications in the field of pesticides, and can be used to prepare insecticides and insecticides. These pesticide products play an important role in preventing and controlling crop diseases and pests, as well as protecting crop growth. As a raw material or intermediate of pesticides, compounds with insecticidal or insecticidal activity can be generated by reacting with other compounds, providing strong support for agricultural production.

1. Degassing agents for aluminum and its alloys
During the metal processing, aluminum and its alloys are prone to gas generation during melting and casting, leading to defects such as porosity inside the metal. Hexachloroethane can be used as a degassing agent for aluminum and its alloys, removing gases from metals through chemical reactions to improve their quality and properties. This is particularly important for industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing that require high quality of metal materials.

2. Deoxidizer
It can also be used as a deoxidizer for aluminum, magnesium, copper and their alloys. In the process of metal smelting, oxygen reacts with metals, leading to metal oxidation and reducing their quality and properties. It can react with oxygen, remove oxygen from metals, protect metals from oxidation, and improve the purity and quality of metals.

1. Rubber vulcanization accelerator
It can be used as a rubber vulcanization accelerator in the rubber industry. Rubber vulcanization is an important step in the rubber processing, which forms cross-linked structures between rubber molecular chains through vulcanization reactions, improving the strength, elasticity, and wear resistance of rubber. It can promote the progress of rubber vulcanization reaction, shorten vulcanization time, improve vulcanization efficiency, and thus improve the performance of rubber.

2. Camphor substitute
Due to its similar odor and properties to camphor, it can also be used as a substitute for camphor. Camphor is often used as an antioxidant or plasticizer in the production process of rubber products. It can replace camphor and have a similar effect while reducing costs.

1. Lubricant additive
Can be used as a lubricant additive to improve the performance of lubricating oil. It can improve the extreme pressure anti-wear, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance of lubricating oil, prolong the service life of lubricating oil, and protect mechanical equipment from wear and corrosion.

2. Smoking agent
This substance can be used as a smoke generator when mixed in proportion with zinc powder, ammonium chloride, ammonium perchlorate, etc. This smoke generator has a wide range of applications in military, firefighting, and other fields, and can be used to manufacture smoke curtains, signal flares, and so on.

3. Defoamer
In the chemical production process, the production of foam will affect the production efficiency and product quality. It can be used as defoamer to break the surface tension of foam quickly, so as to eliminate the impact of foam on production.

4. Cut off oil additives
In the process of metal cutting, cutting oil plays a role in cooling, lubricating, and cleaning. Can be used as an additive for cutting and removing oil, improving the performance of cutting and removing oil. It can improve the extreme pressure anti-wear, rust prevention, and oxidation resistance of cutting oil, prolong the service life of cutting oil, and improve the quality and efficiency of metal cutting processing.

5. Polyvinyl chloride plasticizer
It is widely used in the manufacturing of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) packaging film. It can improve the hardness and shear resistance of PVC, and enhance the performance of PVC products. At the same time, it can also serve as a stabilizer for PVC to prevent degradation during processing and use.

6. Auxiliary agent for manufacturing chalk soil
Used to extract impurities such as aluminum and iron from chalk soil, thereby improving the product quality of chalk soil. During the processing of chalk soil, chemical reactions can occur with impurities, making it easy to separate and remove, resulting in pure chalk soil products.

1. Manufacturing smoke screens
After mixing with zinc powder and other substances, a large amount of smoke can be generated under specific conditions. This type of smoke screen can be used in military operations to cover the movements of troops and interfere with enemy lines of sight. In emergency rescue, smoke screens can also be used to mark areas, guide rescue, etc.

2. Signal flare components
Some signal flares may use it as a smoking agent component. After the signal flare is launched, it burns to produce smoke of a specific color, which is used to transmit information or indicate location.

1. Food packaging film related (historical use, now mostly replaced)
In the past, it was used to manufacture polyvinyl chloride (PVC) food packaging film to improve its hardness and shear resistance. However, due to their toxicity and potential harm to the environment, modern food packaging materials have gradually adopted safer alternatives.
2. Laboratory reagents
Hexachloroethan can be used as a reagent or solvent for organic synthesis in chemical laboratories. It can be used for extracting, separating, and purifying certain compounds, or as a reaction medium to participate in specific chemical reactions.
