Parchem – fine and specialty chemicals is a leading supplier of VOC-exempt solvents such as p-chlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF), a green alternative to traditional industrial organic solvents. Many of the carbon-based organic solvents used in industry today are prone to photochemical reactions with atmospheric gases that result in VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds). VOC’s have been known to be harmful to the Earth’s atmosphere.  As the sea of change in the chemical industry continues to encourage green chemical alternatives, Parchem is supplying VOC-exempt solvents like p-chlorobenzotrifluoride which function similarly to traditional organic solvents without the harmful environmental impacts.

P-chlorobenzotrifluoride (CAS: 98-56-6) is a stable, colorless, hydrophobic organic liquid that is non-reactive, non-corrosive, and exhibits low polarity. Due to its stability, p-chlorobenzotrifluoride does not easily combust, undergo hydrolysis, or undergo dehydrochlorination.  PCBTF is also known in the chemical industry as parachlorobenzotrifluoride, 4-chlorobenzotrifluoride, 1-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, and 4-(trifluoromethyl)chlorobenzene.

P-chlorobenzotrifluoride is an ideal solvent for many applications and is compatible with other organic co-solvents. PCBTF supplied by Parchem has low acidity and low water content, which makes it ideal for many applications including the manufacture of printing inks, cleaners, degreasing agents, aerosols, paints, adhesives, caulks, epoxies, and urethanes. It is also used as a chemical intermediate for the production of PharmaceuticalAgricultural, and Dye/Pigmentderivatives.

P-chlorobenzotrifluoride is highly regarded in the printing ink industry for its ability to dissolve high volumes of ink, exhibiting an ink to solvent ratio of 22:20. Another benefit of using p-chlorobenzotrifluoride as a solvent is that it dissolves inks faster than toluene, a common alternative solvent. PCBTF is also used as a replacement for xylene in cleaning, degreasing, and paint thinner products.

As a leading ISO 9001:2008 Certified company, Parchem – fine and specialty chemicals places customer satisfaction above all else, which makes us your best source for high-quality products and green solvents such as p-chlorobenzotrifluoride.
