Cyanuric chloride is the main precursor to the popular but controversial herbicide atrazine.

Industrial uses
Cyanuric chloride is estimated that 70% of cyanuric chloride is used in the preparation of triazine class pesticides, particularly atrazine. Such reactions rely on the easy replacement of chloride with nucleophiles such as amines:

(ClCN) 3 + 2 RNH 2 → (RNHCN)(ClCN) 2 + RNH 3 + Cl −
Other triazine herbicides, such as simazine, anilazine, and cyromazine are made in a similar fashion.

Cyanuric chloride is also used as a precursor to dyes and crosslinking agents. The largest class of these dyes are sulfonated triazine-stilbene optical brighteners (OBA) or fluorescent whitening agents (FWA), commonly found in detergent formulations and white paper. Many reactive dyes also contain a triazine ring. They are also produced via the chloride displacement reaction shown above.
