Product Overview
1,3-Dichlorobenzene, also known as meta-dichlorobenzene, is a vital aromatic halide compound widely utilized in the chemical manufacturing sector. As a key building block, this colorless transparent liquid serves as an essential precursor for the production of various agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and dyestuffs. Our facility specializes in the large-scale production of this intermediate, ensuring consistent quality and availability for global industrial partners.
We understand the critical nature of purity in downstream synthesis. Therefore, our 1,3-Dichlorobenzene undergoes rigorous distillation and purification processes to achieve an assay of ≥99.5%. This high level of purity minimizes side reactions in subsequent chemical steps, optimizing yield and efficiency for our clients' manufacturing processes.

Industrial Applications
The versatility of 1,3-Dichlorobenzene makes it indispensable across multiple chemical industries. Its primary use lies in the synthesis of complex organic molecules where specific substitution patterns are required. Key application areas include:
- Agrochemical Intermediates: Essential for producing fungicides and insecticides such as Propiconazole and Imazalil.
- Dye Manufacturing: Serves as a solvent and reactant in the creation of various organic pigments and dyestuffs.
- Organic Synthesis: Used as a high-boiling solvent and intermediate in pharmaceutical research and development.
- Chemical Processing: Employed in specialized reactions requiring stable aromatic halide conditions.
Storage and Handling
Proper storage is crucial to maintain the integrity of 1,3-Dichlorobenzene. The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Containers must remain tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Due to its combustible nature, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, aluminum, and aluminum alloys. Safety data sheets (MSDS) are provided with every shipment to ensure compliant handling procedures.
