Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies 2,6-Difluoro Benzonitrile (CAS 1897-52-5) to agrochemical producers, pharmaceutical and fine-chemical units, dye and pigment makers and specialty chemical manufacturers across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven Emirates, with batch-wise COA, sealed packing and fast GCC delivery.
2,6-Difluoro Benzonitrile (2,6-DFBN) is a difluorinated aromatic nitrile supplied as a white to light yellow low-melting crystalline solid. It is the main precursor to 2,6-difluorobenzamide, the key unit in benzoylurea insecticides.
Typical uses are as an intermediate for 2,6-difluorobenzamide and benzoylurea insecticides such as diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron and novaluron, pharmaceutical intermediates and fluorinated specialty chemicals.
As an established chemical supplier in the UAE, Chelora Chemicals sources 2,6-Difluoro Benzonitrile from approved manufacturers with consistent purity and controlled colour, and delivers it to customers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as export customers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Africa and South Asia.
