Phenol
phenol, carbolic acid, hydroxybenzene, monohydroxybenzene, phenyl alcohol, phenyl hydroxide, phenylic acid
How to detect Phenol
Formula: C6H6O | CAS: 108-95-2
Synonyms: phenol, carbolic acid, hydroxybenzene, monohydroxybenzene, phenyl alcohol, phenyl hydroxide, phenylic acid
Phenol is used primarily as raw materials in the production of phenolic and epoxy resins, nylon and polyamid plastics. It is a precursor for alkyl phenols, used in the manufacture of surfactants.
