Description

2,4,6-Trichlorophenol CAS NO 88-06-2 is a chlorinated phenol derivative widely used as a key synthetic intermediate and preservative. This compound is valued for its biocidal properties and its role as a precursor in the manufacture of more complex chemicals. It is essential for industries involved in the production of pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and specialty polymers.

Application

• Pesticide Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.
• Wood Preservative: Used in formulations to protect timber from fungal decay and insect infestation.
• Dye Manufacturing: Serves as an intermediate in the production of certain azo and sulfur dyes.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Employed as a building block for specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Antiseptic and Disinfectant Formulations: Utilized for its germicidal properties in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Specialty Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or modifier in the synthesis of flame-retardant resins and polymers.
• Laboratory Research: Used as a standard or reagent in chemical analysis and organic synthesis research.

Quality Control

Our 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture uptake and oxidation.
