Liquefied Phenol
Industrial Applications
Liquefied Phenol is widely used in chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and personal care formulations due to its reactivity and strong antimicrobial properties. In pharmaceutical production, it serves as a precursor for synthesizing active pharmaceutical ingredients and is used in disinfectants, antiseptic formulations, and preservative systems. Industrially, Liquefied Phenol is essential for producing phenolic resins, which are used in plastics, laminates, adhesives, and coatings. Its ability to act as a powerful chemical intermediate makes it valuable in the synthesis of dyes, surfactants, and specialty chemicals. Additionally, its disinfectant properties support its use in laboratory reagents and industrial sanitation products.
Physical Properties
Liquefied Phenol is a clear to pale pink, viscous liquid that is highly hygroscopic and has a distinct phenolic odor. It is soluble in alcohol, ether, and water, forming strongly acidic solutions. Phenol has a moderate melting point and remains liquid when stabilized at temperatures just above its solidification point. It exhibits strong antiseptic, analgesic, and caustic properties due to its ability to denature proteins. The compound is reactive, especially with oxidizing agents and bases, and must be handled under controlled conditions to prevent solidification and degradation.
