Description

Phenol Crude CAS NO 65996-83-0 is a fundamental aromatic organic compound serving as a critical raw material in industrial organic synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a versatile precursor for producing a wide range of high-volume chemicals and polymers. This product is essential for manufacturers in the resin, plastic, pharmaceutical intermediate, and agrochemical sectors seeking a reliable and cost-effective feedstock.

Application

• Phenol-Formaldehyde Resins: Primary feedstock for producing phenolic resins (Bakelite), used in adhesives, molding compounds, and laminates.
• Bisphenol A (BPA) Production: Key raw material for synthesizing BPA, a monomer for polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins.
• Chemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for manufacturing caprolactam (nylon-6 precursor), alkylphenols, and aniline derivatives.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), various disinfectants, and herbicide intermediates.
• Dyes and Explosives: Intermediate in the synthesis of certain azo dyes and picric acid.
• Selective Solvent & Refining Agent: Employed in petroleum refining for extractive distillation and as a solvent for certain resins and inks.

Quality Control

Our Phenol Crude is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial processes. While specifications vary by grade and customer requirements, our standard quality commitment includes rigorous testing for key parameters such as purity, color, and moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being light-sensitive and easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to minimize discoloration and degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizers, bases, and aluminum.
