About Product

Phenol, a cornerstone in the chemical industry, stands out for its exceptional purity and versatile properties. As one of the leading Phenol Manufacturers, we deliver a product that meets the highest standards of quality and consistency.


Our phenol is produced through state-of-the-art phenol production processes, ensuring a product that is both pure and reliable. With a molecular formula of C₆H₅OH, phenol is a white crystalline solid at room temperature, known for its distinctive sweet and tarry odor. The high purity of our phenol guarantees minimal impurities, making it ideal for various industrial applications.


Phenol boasts a melting point of approximately 40.5°C and a boiling point of 181.7°C, highlighting its stability under a wide range of conditions. Its solubility in water is moderate, allowing for versatile use in different formulations. Phenol is also highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform, enhancing its applicability in various chemical processes.


One of the standout characteristics of phenol is its reactivity. The hydroxyl group attached to the aromatic ring makes phenol highly reactive, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. This reactivity is a key factor in its widespread use in the synthesis of numerous chemical compounds.


While phenol is a powerful chemical, it requires careful handling due to its corrosive nature and potential health hazards. Our production facilities adhere to stringent safety protocols to ensure the safe manufacture and handling of phenol. We provide comprehensive safety data sheets and guidelines to help our customers manage phenol safely and effectively.
