1,2-Dichlorobenzene (CAS 95-50-1), chemically identified as Orthodichlorobenzene or ODCB, is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by its high solvent power and low flammability. Functioning as a high-boiling solvent and reaction medium, this colorless liquid is extensively employed in the dissolution of resins, waxes, and tars, and serves as a precursor in the synthesis of agrochemicals and dye intermediates. It is also utilized in heavy-duty degreasing formulations and industrial odor control systems. We provide this industrial material with competitive factory pricing to support continuous manufacturing operations, alongside options for customized specifications. Essential technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is readily available for all bulk supply orders.

O-dichlorobenzene uses:
1. It can be used as a solvent for wax, gum, resin, tar, rubber, oil and asphalt, etc., and the solvent o-dichlorobenzene is used in the production of dyes Shilin black and Shilin yellow palm, high-grade pigments, chlorhexidine, polyurethane raw material TDI.
2. This product can be used as an insecticide for termites, locusts, and perforators, for the production of trichloroinsect esters, throsteryl, and neoyanling, and can also be used for the synthesis of hydroquinone, fluorochloroaniline, 3,4-dichloroaniline and o-phenylenediamine.
3. As a rust inhibitor and degreaser, it can remove carbon and lead from engine parts, remove the coating on metal surfaces without corroding metal, and remove sulfur from lighting gas.
2. It can be used as a material component for metal polishing agents; It is also used in the dye industry to manufacture reduced blue CLB and reduced blue CLG. Polymer wet spinning solvent to reduce fiber heat shrinkage; epoxy diluents, coolants, heat exchange media; pharmaceutical long-acting sulfonamide, etc.
3. It has strong solubility, good permeability, and slow evaporation speed, so it is used as an additive for nitro spray paint, varnish and solvent for wax and tar. It is also used as a degreaser in the metal, leather, automobile, aircraft industries. A mixture with a small amount of high-grade alcohol is used as a rust inhibitor. Others are also used as intermediates and organic heat carriers in the manufacture of refrigerants, fumigants, preservatives, dyes, medicines, etc.
4. Used in organic synthesis, dye manufacturing, cleaning agents, solvents. It is also used in the formulation of pesticides, cleaning agents and solvents.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
