  • Custom Sizing & Bulk Quantities Upon Request

Monochlorobenzene (MCB) is a versatile chlorinated aromatic solvent valued for its high solvency strength, stability, and versatility in industrial and specialty applications. It is widely used in industrial cleaning, coatings, adhesives, and metal degreasing, where it effectively dissolves oils, waxes, resins, and other organic materials. Its balanced evaporation rate and strong solvency make it particularly effective for surface preparation and efficient cleaning processes.

In addition to its role as a solvent, monochlorobenzene is an important intermediate in chemical manufacturing. It is used in the production of pesticides, dyes, rubber chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in specialty products such as phenol and nitrochlorobenzene. MCB also plays a role in extraction processes, resin formulations, and degreasing systems across multiple industries. With its proven performance, cost-effectiveness, and broad industrial demand, monochlorobenzene remains a critical raw material for industries including agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, rubber, textiles, coatings, and specialty chemical manufacturing.
