It is also sold as 3,4-DCA, 3,4-Dichlorobenzenamine, 3,4-Dichlorophenylamine. All refer to CAS 95-76-1. Confirm the CAS number with any supplier before ordering.

Price depends on grade, volume, packing, Incoterm and destination port, and moves with raw material markets. Send us your requirement and we will quote in EUR or USD with a landed-cost breakdown, usually within one business day.

3,4-Dichloroaniline (CAS 95-76-1) is a crystalline dichlorinated aniline and the principal intermediate for phenylurea herbicides such as diuron and linuron, and for related dyes and pigments.

Standard grade offers 99.0% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.5% minimum with lower isomer content and moisture. Premium is recommended for herbicide synthesis routes needing tight impurity control.

Both are dichloroaniline isomers, but the chlorine positions differ, changing melting point and downstream use. 3,4-Dichloroaniline (95-76-1) is the key intermediate for diuron- and linuron-type herbicides, while 2,5-Dichloroaniline (95-82-9) is used mainly for dyes and pigments. Order by CAS.

3,4-Dichloroaniline is a metabolite of several phenylurea herbicides and can face REACH, CLP and environmental restrictions depending on use. We confirm the current status for your application before quoting.

Store in closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated place, protected from light, air and strong oxidisers, which can darken and degrade the amine. Use within the shelf life stated on the COA and TDS.

It is treated as a dangerous good (class and UN number per SDS; always confirm on the current SDS). We pack it in UN-approved containers, apply CLP labels and ship through licensed forwarders under IMDG for sea and ADR for European road.

Yes. Laboratory and pilot samples are supplied with a COA and SDS so your team can qualify the grade. Mention sample needs in your enquiry.

REACH status is confirmed before we quote. We advise on importer-of-record arrangements and whether the substance is registered for your use. Send your use descriptor and we will confirm.
