Product Description
p-Dichlorobenzene is a white crystalline solid with chemical formula C6H4Cl2 (CAS number 106-46-7), commonly used as a moth repellent, deodorizer, and precursor chemical in synthesis. It sublimates easily at room temperature, releasing a strong aromatic odor. Sparingly soluble in water and readily soluble in organic solvents, it serves industries such as pest control, plastics manufacturing, and chemical production. Supplied by Zenco Systems Ltd across East Africa, it requires proper ventilation and protective measures during handling and should be stored in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizing agents.
