Orthodichlorobenzene (ODCB) is an organic compound with the formula C6H4Cl2, which is a strong solvent in liquid form. Orthodichlorobenzene, also known as 1,2-dichlorobenzene, is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents. This compound is a derivative of benzene and has two chlorine atoms adjacent to adjacent carbon atoms. Thanks to careful attention to the production process and the use of high-quality raw materials, the product leaving the chlorobenzene plant is characterized by very high quality parameters.

The use of orthodichlorobenzene can be divided into 4 main segments:

  • Agrochemicals,

  • API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients),

  • Specialized chemical syntheses,

  • Solvents, paints, pigments, rubber.

This compound is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene, an intermediate used in the pesticide industry as an insecticide, and also for softening and removing carbon contaminants from metal surfaces. The high quality and purity of the product make orthodichlorobenzene suitable for use as a raw material in specialized chemical syntheses and the pharmaceutical industry.

Additionally, it can be used as a heat transfer medium in extractive distillation and as a solvent carrier in TDI production. It is an intermediate in the production of dyes, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other organic syntheses. ODCB is also used as an industrial odor control agent, a wood preservative, and as a component of additive formulations for engine oil, lubricants, and paints.
The product is offered in steel drums (250 kg)
