APPLICATIONS

3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine, white to gray white crystalline powder with a mild odor, is a synthetic chlorinated primary aromatic amine. It does not occur naturally. Commercially, hydrochloride salt forms are available for stability, Though 3,3'-Dichlorobenzidine does not evaporate, it is unstable in water, in air and if exposed to sunlight. It is used in the manufacture of  polybenzimidazole used in protective clothing applications like firefighters' apparels, welders' garments and rescues garments. 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine and its salts and some derivatives are primarily used as an intermediate in the manufacture of pigments (mainly yellow and some red and orange ) for printing inks, coatings, textiles, paints, rubber, leather, plastic, and related industries. It is also used in the analytical test to determine the presence of gold. Curing agent in the synthesis of polyurethane is one of applications. Benzidine is an arylamine compound with the structure of biphenyl having two amine groups at para position each. It is a white to slightly reddish crystalline powder turns dark on exposure to air and light; melting point of 128 C. This compound decomposes on heating and reacts violently with strong oxidants, particularly nitric acid. It is produced by the action of acids on hydrazobenzene. Benzidne forms a blue precipitate with hemoglobin. It was used in testing for occult blood, its use is now limited because of cancer suspect. It is important in azo dye production due to strong fix to cotton. It and its derivatives have active applications in the synthesis of dyes, pigments, paints, rubber compounding agents and wide range of organic chemicals.
