1,4-Dioxane has been used as a stabilizer for solvents, in particular 1,1,1– trichloroethane (TCA), and a solvent in its own right, as well as in a number of industrial and commercial applications. 1,4-Dioxane (dioxane), a cyclic ether, is used as a degreasing agent, as a component of paint and varnish removers, and as a wetting and dispersion agent in the textile industry. Dioxane is used as a solvent in chemical synthesis, as a fluid for scintillation counting, and as a dehydrating agent in the preparation of tissue sections for histology.
