Application:

Phenol is a common chemical that is an important raw material in the production of certain resins, fungicides, preservatives, and pharmaceuticals such as aspirin.

Phenol (chemical formula: C6H5OH, PhOH), also known as carbolic acid and hydroxybenzene, is the simplest phenolic organic compound and is a colorless needle-shaped crystal at room temperature. The molecule comprises a phenyl group (−C6H5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). It is toxic, weakly acidic, easy to dissolve, and an important organic chemical raw material.
