Ortho-Dichlorobenzene Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- ODCB
- O-Dichlorobenzene
- Orthodichlorobenzene
- 1,2-Dichlorobenzene
Ortho-dichlorobenzene is the liquid 1,2-isomer of dichlorobenzene, used as a high-boiling process solvent and chemical intermediate. Also written o-dichlorobenzene, orthodichlorobenzene or ODCB, it is specified by buyers seeking an ortho-dichlorobenzene supplier in Malaysia.
Commercial options include technical and high-purity liquid grades selected by assay, isomer profile and impurity limits. The correct grade depends on the reaction, dissolution, cleaning or laboratory process, and the ortho identity should remain explicit throughout the specification.
Applications include chemical manufacture, dye and pigment intermediate routes, industrial cleaning formulations, polymer dissolution and specialised laboratory solvent use. Ortho-dichlorobenzene is not para-dichlorobenzene or meta-dichlorobenzene; those isomers are separate chemicals despite sharing the same molecular formula.
Send the required purity, isomer limits, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation for the selected ortho-dichlorobenzene grade.

Ortho-Dichlorobenzene applications
Common questions about Ortho-Dichlorobenzene
Is ortho-dichlorobenzene the same as para-dichlorobenzene?
No. Ortho-dichlorobenzene is the liquid 1,2-isomer, while para-dichlorobenzene is the distinct 1,4-isomer commonly encountered as a solid. The isomer must be stated in the enquiry.
What grades of ortho-dichlorobenzene are used commercially?
Technical and higher-purity liquid grades are selected by assay, isomer profile and impurity limits. Send the required specification rather than relying on the general grade label alone.
Why is ortho-dichlorobenzene used as a process solvent?
It is used where a high-boiling aromatic solvent is required for reaction, dissolution or cleaning processes. Suitability depends on the process, purity requirement and downstream controls.
What information is needed for an ortho-dichlorobenzene quotation?
Provide the 1,2-isomer requirement, purity and impurity limits, intended use, quantity and delivery location. Include any required data-sheet or batch-document request.
How are packing and delivery confirmed?
Packing options, delivery route, timing and document availability are confirmed for the selected grade with the quotation.
