2-Chlorobenzotrichloride (C₇H₄Cl₄) is a chlorinated organic compound primarily used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis.
1. Production of Agrochemicals & Pesticides
Used in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.
2. Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Acts as a precursor in the manufacturing of certain drugs.
3. Dye & Pigment Manufacturing
Helps in producing chlorinated dyes and pigments.
4. Chemical Research & Specialty Chemicals
Used in organic synthesis for further chlorination or functionalization.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
1. Storage Conditions
Temperature: Store in a cool, dry place (preferably below 25°C / 77°F).
Moisture Control: Keep tightly sealed in an airtight container (e.g., glass or corrosion-resistant metal) to prevent hydrolysis (reaction with water).
Ventilation: Store in a well-ventilated area or under inert gas (N₂/Ar) to minimize degradation.
2. Container Material
Use glass, PTFE-lined, or stainless steel containers.
Avoid aluminum or regular steel, as HCl byproducts can cause corrosion.
