OCTACHLORO TOLUENE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Octachloro toluene is an organochlorine compound, known for its use as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, particularly in the production of pesticides and other industrial chemicals. It is highly chlorinated, making it relatively stable but also a persistent environmental pollutant. Handling requires caution due to its potential toxic effects on human health and the environment. It is not commonly found in nature and is typically synthesized through the chlorination of toluene. Due to its hazardous nature, it is subject to stringent regulatory controls to prevent environmental contamination and ensure safe usage in industrial applications.
