What would the carbon tet even be used for? I can't think of a time when I ever used it during my chemisty degree, so for most things it could probably be replaced with another more sensible solvent.


For one thing: It was sold as a fire extinguisher agent both in pressurize-able canisters, and in glass bulbs as "fire grenades" and to be hung from the ceiling by lead or babbit fuses.
