Benzoyl chloride (O) pure is a high-purity chemical intermediate supplied by LANXESS as a colorless to weakly yellow liquid with a pungent, fuming odor and high refractive index. It is Kosher-certified and plays a critical role in a wide range of chemical manufacturing processes.

At ambient temperatures, this compound exhibits fuming behavior when exposed to air. It has an acidic reaction and is sensitive to iron and moisture, requiring appropriate storage and handling under dry, controlled conditions.

The primary application of benzoyl chloride is in the production of benzoyl peroxide, a widely used initiator in polymer chemistry. It is also a key intermediate in the manufacture of:

• Dyes and pigments

• Surfactants

• Fragrances and perfumes

• Pharmaceutical active ingredients

• Resins and coatings

• Agrochemicals and pesticides
