CAS 79723-02-7

EPA’s 2019 records show zero U.S. production of this chemical.

Molecular structure of 79723-02-7
US productionZero
Import value, 2024$108M
Top sourceChina 14%

EPA lists this chemical for 2019 but publishes zero or no volume for both production and imports.

Why supply is unknown

Production is reported production, not a complete census of factories. Production reporting year: 2019. Import value and source-country shares describe a shared customs category, not a separate chemical measurement.
