| Physical Properties: Phenol is a colorless needle shaped crystal or white crystalline melt with a special odor and burning odor, and extremely dilute solutions have a sweet taste; Easy to dissolve in ethanol, ether, chloroform, glycerol, carbon disulfide, vaseline, volatile oil, fixed oil, and strong alkaline aqueous solutions. Almost insoluble in petroleum ether. |
| Applications: Phenol is an important organic chemical raw material, which can be used to produce chemical products and intermediates such as phenolic resin, caprolactam, bisphenol A, salicylic acid, picric acid, pentachlorophenol, adipic acid, phenolphthalein N-acetylethoxyaniline, etc. It has important applications in industries such as chemical raw materials, alkylphenols, synthetic fibers, plastics, synthetic rubber, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fragrances, dyes, coatings, and oil refining. In addition, phenol can also be used as a solvent, experimental reagent, and disinfectant. |
