Products Description
Phenol (CAS 108-95-2) is a stable chemical that appears as colorless to white crystals with a characteristic, distinct aromatic and acrid odor. It is reactive and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases, alkalis, and calcium hypochlorite. Phenol is flammable and may discolor upon exposure to light. It is widely used in the manufacture of explosives, fertilizers, coke, illuminating gas, lampblack, paints, paint removers, rubber, perfumes, asbestos goods, wood preservatives, synthetic resins, textiles, drugs, and pharmaceutical preparations. In addition, it is extensively employed as a disinfectant in the petroleum, leather, paper, soap, toy, tanning, dye, and agricultural industries.

Products Application
Phenol is primarily used as an antimicrobial preservative in parenteral pharmaceutical products. It has also been used in topical pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics. In addition, phenol is widely employed as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and therapeutic agent; however, it should not be used to preserve preparations intended for freeze-drying.
