What Is Chlorobenzene? What Are Its Applications?


Chlorobenzene is an aromatic organic chemical compound which is manufactured by the chlorination of benzene in the presence of catalyst. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with an almond-like odor. Chlorobenzene is chemically synthesized and does not occur naturally. It is widely used in the manufacture of other organic chemicals including dyestuffs and insecticides. It is also used as solvent for drugs, adhesives, paints, and dry cleaning besides fiber-swelling agent in textile processing.

The chlorobenzene market is anticipated to grow in the forecast period owing to increasing demands from the chemicals industry for manufacturing of various chemicals. Also, heavy demands from the personal care industry for use as deodorants further drives the chlorobenzene market. However, the detrimental effects of various chlorobenzene products such as herbicides, solvent on the environment limit the growth of the chlorobenzene market. On the other hand, demand for high performance polymers is likely to offer lucrative opportunities to the major market players operating in the chlorobenzene market during the forecast period.
