Overview of 2,4-Dichlorophenol

2,4-Dichlorophenol, a chlorinated organic compound, is a white or light yellow crystal with a distinct phenolic scent. Chemically speaking, it is part of the family of chlorophenols and is very reactive because it is composed of chlorine atoms in addition to the phenolic hydroxyl. Chemically, it is known as 2,4-Dichlorophenol (CAS No. 120-83-2).

In industrial chemistry, 2,4-dichlorophenol can be used primarily as an intermediate, rather than as a finished product. It is a key ingredient in the creation of agrochemicals and herbicides as well as dyes, antiseptics and specialty chemical formulas. Due to its clear design and predictable reactivity, it is widely used by chemical manufacturers who want to control their syntheses.

ChemicalBull offers 2-Dichlorophenol that is high-purity and ideal for chemical manufacturing and industrial applications. This ensures consistency in quality, reliability, and compliance with the requirements of industrial processes.
