The pure output of Benzoyl Chloride is a translucent, colorless flammable liquid that smokes when it is in contact with air. It has a strong pungent smell and is a somewhat pale yellow color in the industry. Its steam stimulates the mucous membranes and tears in the eyes, which has a powerful stimulating effect on the skin, respiratory tract, and mucous membranes. It can gradually break down in ethanol or water, producing ammonia, benzoic acid, benzamide, ethyl benzoate, and hydrogen chloride. The material has a flash point of 72 °C, a melting point of -1.0 °C, a boiling point of 197.2 °C, a relative density of 1.212 (20 °C), and a refractive index (n20) of 1.554. Insecticides and herbicides are all made using Benzoyl Chloride as a raw material. It is also utilized as a dye and medicinal raw material.
