Phenol 85% (Carbolic Acid, Hydroxybenzene) Rubber O-Rings & Gasket Compatibility

Phenol, 85 percent solution, is an aqueous mixture of phenol and water commonly supplied for industrial, laboratory, and chemical processing applications. This formulation maintains many of the active properties of concentrated phenol while providing improved handling characteristics compared to fully anhydrous material. It appears as a clear to slightly tinted liquid and retains strong chemical reactivity. In industrial settings, phenol solution is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic and serves as a key intermediate in the production of phenolic resins, plastics, adhesives, and pharmaceutical compounds. It is also utilized in controlled chemical synthesis, analytical testing procedures, and research applications where precise reagent performance is required. Despite dilution with water, an 85 percent phenol solution remains corrosive and toxic. Direct contact can result in chemical burns, and vapors may cause respiratory irritation. Safe handling requires proper ventilation, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and adherence to established safety protocols. Storage in tightly sealed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area is essential to minimize degradation and exposure risk. Careful management ensures safe and effective use in both industrial and laboratory environments.
