Parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF)

Product Description

Parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF) is known for its low volatility, chemical stability, and broad compatibility with resins, oils, and greases. It is commonly used in industrial applications, including coatings, adhesives, and cleaners. PCBTF's low evaporation rate and high boiling point make it an excellent choice for applications requiring extended drying times or reduced solvent loss during use. It is often used to slow down lacquer thinners and as an ingredient in specialized manufacturing processes.

Key Features

• VOC-Exempt: Exempt from the U.S. EPA regulatory definition of VOC for purposes of federal ozone regulations.
• High Purity: Minimum purity of 99% supports consistent performance across industrial and manufacturing applications.
• Excellent Solvency: Effective at dissolving many resins, coatings, oils, greases, and other materials used in industrial formulations.
• Chemical Stability: Provides stable solvent performance across a variety of formulation and processing applications.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for paints, coatings, cleaning products, adhesives, sealants, and specialty chemical formulations.

Industry Uses

• Paints and Coatings: Used as a solvent in low-VOC coating formulations to support solvency, flow, and application performance.
• Industrial Cleaners: Helps dissolve oils, greases, coatings, and other residues in cleaning formulations.
• Adhesives and Sealants: Used as a solvent and formulation component in various adhesive and sealant products.
• Specialty Chemical Formulations: Used as a solvent and carrier in a variety of industrial chemical formulations.

VOC-Exempt Solvent

PCBTF is classified as a VOC-exempt solvent under U.S. EPA regulations because of its negligible contribution to the formation of ground-level ozone. This makes it particularly useful in formulations designed to reduce regulated VOC content.

Safety Note: Parachlorobenzotrifluoride should be handled with the proper Personal Protective Equipment. Please refer to the SDS for any questions or concerns.
