Determination of the Content of Bonds Based on Chlorobenzene and Chlorotoluene

Chlorobenzene and Chlorotoluene Content in Textiles

What are Chlorobenzene and Chlorotoluene?

a) Chlorobenzene: Chlorobenzene is an organic compound formed by attaching a chlorine atom to benzene. This compound, with the chemical formula C6H5Cl, is a colorless, taste and odorless liquid and is commonly used as a solvent, preservative and solvent. Chlorobenzene is used as an important intermediate in various chemical syntheses and production processes.

b) Chlorotoluene: Chlorotoluene is a compound formed by the bonding of a chlorine atom to toluene. Chlorotoluene with chemical formula C7H7Cl can be found in different isomeric forms (ortho, meta, para). Chlorotoluene is an important compound used in the production of solvents, industrial chemicals and some organic compounds.

The presence of these compounds can be found in various textiles, plastics and dyestuffs, which makes it necessary to determine the content of these chemicals.

“Chlororganic Carriers (COCs)”, a group of chemicals consisting of chlorobenzenes and chlorotoluenes used as intermediates in the synthesis of different chemicals, are used as dye carriers in the dyeing of polyesters with disperse dyes and as levelling agents.

Chlorobenzenes and chlorotoluenes have various applications in various industries. They are found in textile applications in apparel and footwear supply chains. They are also used as carriers in synthetic fiber dyeing for polyester and polyester blends.

Chlorobenzenes and chlorotoluenes are also used as intermediates in the synthesis of solvents, yeasts and other chemical formulations with high melting points, among other chemicals.1,2 Certain chlorobenzenes can be used to make deodorizers or degreasers for metal, leather and wool, where dichlorobenzene is used.

Why are Chlorobenzenes and Chlorotoluenes (COCs) Restricted?

Penta- and hexachlorobenzene are categorized as persistent organic pollutants.
Some types can be very toxic at certain concentrations, especially to aquatic organisms.
Above certain concentration levels, long-term exposure to some chlorobenzenes and chlorotoluenes can cause the development of certain cancers.
Above certain concentration levels, toxic by inhalation or skin contact.
