Descripción general del producto & beneficios clave
m-Cresol is the meta isomer of methylphenol. Its substitution pattern makes it the starting point for organophosphate insecticides such as fenthion, for 3-phenoxytoluene and other pyrethroid intermediates, for tricresyl phosphate plasticizers, for thymol and other fragrance chemicals, and for vitamin E precursors. It is also used in color-film developers and phenolic resins.
For most syntheses the content of p-cresol, which boils at almost the same temperature, is the specification that matters.
Wide range of uses
Used for pesticides, antioxidantes, resinas, plastificantes, fragrances and dyes.
Specified on your terms
We quote against your assay and isomer limits and send the batch COA for each lot.
