Usage

General Description

4,6-Bis(chloromethyl)-m-xylene is a colorless to pale yellow liquid chemical compound composed of two chloromethyl groups attached to a m-xylene molecule. It is primarily used as a crosslinking agent in the production of epoxy resins and as a curing agent in the manufacture of industrial coatings and adhesives. It is also employed as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds. This chemical can be a health hazard if inhaled or ingested, and may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. It is important to handle and use 4,6-bis(chloromethyl)-m-xylene with proper safety precautions and in accordance with relevant regulatory guidelines.
