Hydrated Phenol
Chemical Formula : C6H6O

Phenol is a versatile industrial organic chemical. The largest end use of Phenol is in Phenol-formaldehyde resins used in wood additives as well as moulding and laminating resins, paints, varnishes and enamels.

Phenol which is also referred to as Carbolic Acid, or Monohydroxy Benzene is used to produce a wide variety of chemical intermediates, including Phenolic Resins, Bisphenol-A, Caprolactam, Alkyl Phenols, Adipic Acid, Plasticizers, etc.

  • Phenol is an essential starting material for a wide range of applications in the electrical/electronics, automotive, construction and household/furniture industries
  • Phenol can be combined with formaldehyde to produce phenolic resins, which represent the second largest commercial use of phenol. Phenolic resins are used in a wide range of applications, including plywood and oriented strand board, furniture, insulation materials, laminates, foundry molds and adhesives.
  • Another application for phenol is as the raw material for caprolactam and adipic acid for the production of nylon intermediates. Major uses include engineering thermoplastics and synthetic fibers for clothing and carpeting.
