Phenol CAS 108-95-2

Phenol (English: Phenol or phenyl hydroxide, commonly known as: carbolic acid), definition: the molecular formula is C6H6O, which is mainly produced by cumene by oxidation and decomposition, is important Organic chemical industry raw materials, which can be used to produce a variety of chemical products and intermediates such as phenolic resin and bisphenol A, and are also used as solvents and disinfectants。

Phenol is a type of organic compound, the chemical formula is C6H5OH, is a colorless needle-like crystal with a special odor, toxic, and is used in the production of certain resins, fungicides, preservatives, as well as drugs (such as aspirin) important raw materials. It can also be used for disinfection of surgical instruments and excrement, skin sterilization, itching relief and otitis media. The melting point is 43 °C, slightly soluble in water at room temperature, and easily soluble in organic solvents; when the temperature is higher than 65 °C, it can be miscible with water in any proportion. Phenol has Corrosive, after contact, it will make the local Protein denaturation, its solution can be washed with alcohol when it gets on the skin. A small part of phenol is oxidized by oxygen when exposed to air quinone and pink. When the ferric iron ions turn purple, this method is usually used to test phenol.

Phenol (C6H6O, PhOH), also known as hydroxybenzene, carbolic acid Color (Pt-Co): ≤ 10 (or ≤ 20)。
