Product Description of BPDA
Benzyl chloride is a flammable, toxic, and corrosive organic halogenated hydrocarbon. It is a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with a strong pungent odor. Due to the reactive benzyl group in its structure, it is highly chemically active and widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
It is insoluble in water but miscible with most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, benzene, and dichloromethane. It can dissolve many organic materials, including oils and resins, and is sometimes used as a solvent in specialized industrial applications.

Product Application of BPDA
Benzyl chloride is mainly used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and as a raw material in the dye, pigment, fragrance, and daily chemical industries. It is also applied in plastics and rubber production for making PVC stabilizers and rubber vulcanization accelerators. In addition, it is used in the pesticide industry to produce insecticides and herbicides, and to a lesser extent as an organic synthesis solvent and a feedstock for electronic chemicals.
