Description and Uses
Trichlorobenzenes (TCBs) are synthetic chemicals that occur in three different isomeric forms. The three chlorinated cyclic aromatic isomers are 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (1,2,3-TCB), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB), and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (1,3,5-TCB). 1,2,4-TCB is one of the 188 chemicals designated as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act.
1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is used as a dielectric and heat transfer fluid in transformers. It acts as an intermediate, degreaser, wood preservative and solvent for dye. It is a high-temperature solvent used in gel permeation chromatography, especially for polyethylene and polypropylene. Further, it is used as a lubricant and as a synthetic transformer oil.
