Old chembox
I've put this here to keep the article readable. I've transferred most of the information to the new infobox, but some data (e.g. thermochemistry) should live in a separate data page.

catalyst of C2H4 + HCl
According to my chemistry teacher you don't need the AlCl3 as a catalyst for this reaction; it is just used as a catalyst for an intermediate step for producing styrene -- C2H4 should react at r.t.p, no catalyst, by bubbling it through a solution of HCl. --Katrielalex 10:46, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Inaccuracy
I made an edit changing where it says "Ethyl chloride is a prescription drug in the US" to "Ethyl chloride is not controlled in the US". It was rolled back, and I have no idea why, to say that something is a prescription drug implies that it is controlled or regulated on a DEA Schedule and is illegal to posses. Ethyl Chloride is widely available in pornography shops across the country and online, it is not regulated by the DEA and therefore is not a prescription drug. The message I got said my edit was not constructive, so this time I just removed the inaccurate part. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.129.248.151 (talk) 20:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Use in dentistry
My dentist recently applied cotton wool soaked in Chloroethane to one of my teeth to simulate the eating of cold foods. Johnalexwood (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Ethyl chlorate
"Ethyl chlorate" redirects here, but the term is not mentioned anywhere in the article. This should be rectified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C8:7B09:FA01:7935:FBF6:D891:168E (talk) 23:52, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Niche use is Atmos clocks
Ethyl Chloride is contained inside the bellows that drive the winding mechanism of JLC Atmos clocks. Minute temperature and atmospheric pressure differences cause the bellows to expand and contract thus keeping the clock wound.
