ORTHO-DICHLOROBENZENE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Ortho-dichlorobenzene, with the chemical formula C6H4Cl2, is a chlorinated aromatic compound used as a solvent and an intermediate in chemical synthesis. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a strong, pleasant odor. Ortho-dichlorobenzene is employed in the manufacture of dyes, pesticides, and degreasing agents. It is also used as a deodorizer for garbage and sewage treatment. Due to its volatility and potential health effects, including respiratory and skin irritation, handling requires appropriate safety measures. It is flammable and should be stored away from sources of ignition.
