2,6-Dichloroterephthalic acid(CAS: 116802-97-2)

2,6-Dichloroterephthalic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H4Cl2O4. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a pungent odor. It is commonly used in the synthesis of various polymers and as a precursor in chemical reactions.

2,6-Dichloroterephthalic acid is primarily used in the production of terephthalic acid derivatives, such as polyesters and copolyesters for use in fibers, films, and bottles. It is also used in the synthesis of dyes and as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis.

2,6-Dichloroterephthalic acid should be handled with caution due to its corrosive nature and potential for skin irritation. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles should be worn. It is not considered flammable but should be kept away from heat sources and oxidizers.

2,6-Dichloroterephthalic acid should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. The storage area should have good ventilation and be accessible only to authorized personnel.
