Application field

Phenol is an important organic chemical raw material. It can be used to produce phenolic resin, caprolactam, bisphenol A, salicylic acid, picric acid, pentachlorophenol, 2,4-D, adipic acid, phenolphthalein n-acetoethoxy Aniline and other chemical products and intermediates have important uses in industries such as chemical raw materials, alkylphenols, synthetic fibers, plastics, synthetic rubber, medicine, pesticides, fragrances, dyes, coatings, and oil refining. In addition, phenol can also be used as a solvent, experimental reagent and disinfectant. An aqueous solution of phenol can separate the protein and DNA on the chromosomes in plant cells, which is convenient for staining DNA.
