Pentachlorophenol is usually found as a grey brown powder, beads or flakes. It has a sharp chemical odour when hot but is almost odourless at room temperature. Pentachlorophenole is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents, fats and oils. It is broken down in air and surface water by sunlight.
