Meta Dichlorobenzene (CAS 541-73-1) is a clear, colourless liquid used as an intermediate for herbicides, dyes and specialty chlorinated aromatics.
Standard grade offers 99.0% minimum GC purity. Premium grade offers 99.5% minimum with lower moisture, isomer content and colour. Premium is recommended for herbicide synthesis routes needing tight impurity control.
The isomers differ in the position of the two chlorine atoms, which changes melting point, odour and use. Meta (541-73-1) is used mainly for herbicide and dye intermediates, ortho (95-50-1) is a liquid used as a high-boiling solvent, and para (106-46-7) is the solid used in moth-repellent and deodorant blocks. Order by CAS.
Dichlorobenzenes can face REACH and other restrictions depending on use. We confirm the current status for your application before quoting.
Store in closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from ignition sources and strong oxidisers. 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.
