Application
Benzene Chloride serves as a versatile chemical in various industrial applications due to its properties as a solvent. Derived through the chlorination of benzene with a catalyst like FeCl3 or AlCl3, it is a colorless, flammable liquid with a characteristic almond-like odor. Benzene Chloride is particularly valued for its ability to dissolve fats, oils, resins, polymers, rubber, and chlorinated rubber, while being miscible with organic solvents but insoluble in water. It finds usage as a solvent in the production of bitumen and asphalt coatings for construction, as well as in the formulation of pesticides, degreasing of automobile parts, and the manufacturing of chemical compounds such as phenol and aniline. Additionally, it plays a role in chemical toxicity research related to agricultural pollution and serves as a heat transfer medium. Its flammability and solvency make it a critical component in several chemical processes, despite the need to handle it with care due to its hazardous nature.
