Phthaloyl chloride, 94%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

Phthaloyl chloride is used for the preparation of volatile acid chlorides from the acids. It acts as a trapping agent for the nitrite ion in the fluorodenitration of aromatic substrates with potassium fluoride. It serves as an additive in polymers and fibers to improve the color stability. It is used as an ingredient in ceramic mold binders, as a stabilizer for polymers and in reverse osmosis membranes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
