Product Overview
Chlorobenzene 99.5% AR is a high-purity, non-polar solvent widely used in laboratory applications due to its stability and low reactivity. This analytical reagent (AR) grade solvent is meticulously purified to ensure minimal impurities, making it suitable for critical processes like organic synthesis, liquid-liquid extraction, and chromatography. Its clear, colorless appearance and characteristic aromatic odor make it easily identifiable, while its low water solubility ensures consistent performance in hydrophobic environments. The solvent’s boiling point of 131°C and density of 1.106 g/mL at 25°C provide predictable behavior in controlled lab conditions. Chlorobenzene is also valued for its role as a reaction medium in processes requiring inert, non-protic solvents. Proper handling and storage in tightly sealed containers, away from heat and ignition sources, are essential to maintain its purity and efficacy over time.
