Phenoxyethanol CAS 122-99-6

Phenoxyethanol (CAS 122-99-6), pharmacopeially designated as Phenoxyethanolum, is a glycol ether functioning as a broad-spectrum preservative and high-boiling solvent. Chemically identified as 2-Phenoxyethanol or Ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, this clear, oily liquid is active against Gram-negative bacteria and is widely utilized in the formulation of personal care products, vaccines, and pharmaceutical preparations. In industrial applications, it serves as a coalescent in waterborne coatings and a solvent for specialized inks and resins. We provide this industrial material with competitive factory pricing to support continuous manufacturing operations, alongside options for customized specifications. Essential technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is readily available for all bulk supply orders.
