Parachlorobenzotrifluoride

Parachlorobenzotrifluoride is an organic chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H4ClF3. It is frequently abbreviated PCBTF. Parachlorobenzotrifluoride is a colorless liquid with a distinct aromatic odor. It is used as an ink solvent in the printing industry. PCBTF is used as a component (5-12%) of low volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant polyurethane finishes.[1] It is also sold under the brand name Oxsol 100[2][3] The substance in technical quality is considered to have negligible VOCs and is increasingly used as a xylene replacement in cleaners, thinners, and other aromatic hydrocarbon blends. It thus has VOC Exempt status from the EPA Environmental Protection Agency.[4]

Uses

Parachlorobenzotrifluoride has a high capacity for dissolving many inks used by the printing industry. In most cases, up to 22 grams of ink can be dissolved in 20 grams of PCBTF. An added benefit is that parachlorobenzotrifluoride dissolves most inks faster than toluene.

  • Irritancy: eyes, respiratory tract, skin
gollark: postmarketOS apparently exists but is missing lots of features.
gollark: Very well.
gollark: GNU/Linux will *not* work.
gollark: If it's not too recent or you're okay with hardware modification I think you can reflash them somehow.
gollark: Friends surreptitiously replace friends' iPhones with alternatives.
