Description

1,2-Dichlorobenzene is widely used as a precursor to prepare 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of agrochemicals. It acts as a solvent for fullerenes. It is also used in softening and removing carbon-based contamination on metal surfaces. It also used as food preservative, motor oil additive, lubricant and paint.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
