description Product Description
Phenol is widely used in the production of plastics, particularly in the synthesis of phenolic resins, which are essential for manufacturing molded products like circuit boards, coatings, and adhesives. It serves as a precursor in the chemical industry for producing bisphenol A, a key component in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. In the medical field, phenol is utilized as a disinfectant and antiseptic due to its antimicrobial properties. It is also employed in the pharmaceutical industry for synthesizing drugs like aspirin and other medications. Additionally, phenol is used in the preservation of vaccines and in cosmetic formulations for its exfoliating and preservative effects. In laboratories, it acts as a reagent for DNA and RNA extraction processes. Its applications extend to the agricultural sector, where it is used in the production of herbicides and pesticides.
