Usage

Description

2,6-DICHLOROTOLUENE is a colorless liquid that is not soluble in water. It has a density of approximately 8.9 lb/gal, which causes it to sink in water. Its flash point is below 141°F, and it may be irritating and narcotic in high concentrations.

Uses

Used in Chemical Industry:
2,6-DICHLOROTOLUENE is used as a solvent for various applications due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances. Its non-solubility in water and sinking property make it suitable for specific chemical processes.
Used in Dye Industry:
2,6-DICHLOROTOLUENE is used as an intermediate in the production of chemicals and dyes. Its chemical properties allow it to be a valuable component in the synthesis of various dyes and other chemical products.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Although not explicitly mentioned in the provided materials, 2,6-DICHLOROTOLUENE could potentially be used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate for the synthesis of certain drugs, given its role in the production of chemicals and dyes. However, this application would require further research and validation.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Simple aromatic halogenated organic compounds are very unreactive; halogenated aliphatic compounds are moderately or very reactive. For both subgroups, reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms.

Health Hazard

Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.

Flammability and Explosibility

Nonflammable
