Applications:
It is used to produce a wide variety of chemical intermediates, including phenolic resins, bisphenol – A, caprolactum, alkyl phenols, adipic acid, plasticizers, etc.
Used in the manufacture of preservatives, disinfectants, lubricating oils, herbicides, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, etc.
Phenol is a major component of phenolic adhesives used in wood products such as plywood and oriented strand board. It is used to produce phenolic resins used in the moulding of heat-resistance components for household appliances, ccounter-top and flooring laminates, and foundry casting.
It is a valuable intermediate in the manufacture of detergents, agricultural chemicals, medicines, plasticisers and dyes.
We are also supplier of hydrated phenol with phenol content of 91.5 to 96 %.
