Q: Is p-Dichlorobenzene carcinogenic and why is it widely used in industrial applications?

A: p-Dichlorobenzene (PDCB) is an aromatic compound primarily used in deodorants, moth repellents, and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, resins, and pharmaceuticals. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), p-Dichlorobenzene is classified as “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.” It has been used safely in industrial and household products for decades due to its stability, effectiveness, and relatively low acute toxicity when handled properly.

In emerging markets such as Brazil and Mexico, demand for p-Dichlorobenzene continues to rise, especially in the chemical, plastic, and pesticide industries. However, local buyers often face challenges including inconsistent product purity, limited supply sources, and logistical difficulties when importing from overseas. Ensuring the chemical meets international quality standards and is produced in a controlled environment is critical to maintaining safety and efficiency during industrial use.
