Monochlorobenzene is a chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon used as an industrial chemical raw material and intermediate, commonly referred to as chlorobenzene, phenyl chloride, or benzene chloride in industrial documentation. Identified by CAS 108-90-7, it functions primarily as an industrial solvent, where its aromatic ring and chlorine substitution provide controlled solvency and chemical stability in synthesis and formulation processes. It is typically applied in chemical processing environments that require a non-polar solvent medium compatible with downstream reactions and separations. In the supply context, this product is available with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, and full documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, supporting consistent bulk supply for industrial use.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are chlorobenzene and monochlorobenzene the same chemical substance?
A: Yes. Chlorobenzene and monochlorobenzene refer to the same substance and correspond to a single CAS number, 108-90-7, used for substance identity in industrial and regulatory contexts. -
Q:
Is this product intended for industrial solvent use rather than laboratory research?
A: Monochlorobenzene is commonly used as an industrial solvent and chemical intermediate in manufacturing and processing environments, rather than being positioned as a laboratory-scale research reagent.
