Description
4-Chlorobenzotrifluoride (CAS 98-56-6, EC 202-681-1), also known as p-Chlorobenzotrifluoride, 4-Chlorotrifluorotoluene, and PCBTF, is a halogenated aromatic solvent with the molecular formula C7H4ClF3. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29036990.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, PCBTF functions as a reaction solvent and carrier, offering strong solvency for active compounds while resisting unwanted chemical interaction. In plastics and polymer processing, its halogen content contributes flame-retardant properties by interrupting combustion chain reactions. It also serves as a solvent carrier for antimicrobial and colorant formulations in textile and leather applications.
4-Chlorobenzotrifluoride is supplied as an industrial-grade liquid and falls under REACH regulation, requiring compliant handling and documentation within the EU. Suppliers typically offer it in drums and intermediate bulk containers. Buyers should confirm SDS availability and confirm purity specifications directly with the supplier for their intended application.
