Transport classification per the UN Model Regulations / 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. Confirm against the grade-specific SDS (Section 14) before shipping.
Phenol (CAS 108-95-2), also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic hydroxy compound supplied as a liquefied or crystalline product. Its primary use is the production of phenolic resins for plywood, construction, automotive and appliance applications; it also serves as a chemical intermediate for bisphenol A and other compounds, and as a disinfectant and slimicide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Phenol Liquified, USP 90% used for?
Phenol (CAS 108-95-2), also known as carbolic acid, is supplied here in liquefied USP 90% form. Its primary industrial use is as feedstock for phenolic resins used in plywood, construction, automotive and appliance applications; it also serves as a chemical intermediate (for example to bisphenol A) and as a disinfectant and slimicide in industrial settings.
What is the chemical formula of phenol?
Phenol has the molecular formula C6H6O, CAS 108-95-2, and is an aromatic hydroxy compound also called carbolic acid. The 'liquified USP 90%' designation refers to the liquefied form supplied at that concentration.
Is phenol an acid?
Phenol is a weakly acidic aromatic hydroxy compound, historically called carbolic acid, but it is far weaker than typical mineral or carboxylic acids. It is supplied as a chemical intermediate and resin feedstock; consult the SDS for handling characteristics.
How is liquefied phenol packaged and shipped in bulk?
Phenol carries HS code 2907.11, and the liquefied/aqueous solution form ships under UN 2821 (PHENOL SOLUTION, AQUEOUS) per the applicable transport requirements. Contact RawSource for available bulk packaging and the SDS to confirm compliant shipping for your destination.
What is the cost of bulk Phenol Liquified USP 90%?
Pricing depends on volume, packaging, and current market conditions. Request a bulk quote with your required quantity rather than relying on a list price, and we will return current pricing with the CoA and SDS.
