Description

o-Chlorophenol is a versatile chlorinated aromatic compound primarily used as a key synthetic intermediate in the production of higher-value chemicals. Its reactivity, particularly at the ortho position, makes it a valuable building block for agrochemicals, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. This product is essential for manufacturers in the fine chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries seeking a reliable and high-purity raw material for complex synthesis.

Application

• Agrochemical Synthesis: A crucial intermediate in the manufacture of herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and disinfectants.
• Dye and Pigment Production: Serves as a precursor for specific azo dyes and other colorants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for other specialty chemicals, including antioxidants and plasticizers.
• Research & Development: Employed in laboratory settings for method development and as a reference standard.

Quality Control

Our o-Chlorophenol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and other relevant methods, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and volatilization.
