85% Phenol / 15% Water (Carbolic Acid) Compatibility with Rubber O-Rings & Gaskets

Phenol 85 percent solution is an aqueous formulation composed primarily of phenol blended with water for industrial and laboratory use. This concentration preserves the functional characteristics of phenol while offering a controlled liquid form suitable for handling and processing. It is widely utilized in chemical manufacturing and research environments where consistent reactivity is required. In practical applications, phenol solution serves as a disinfectant and antiseptic and plays a key role in the production of phenolic resins, engineered plastics, adhesives, and various pharmaceutical intermediates. It is also employed in analytical chemistry and specialized synthesis procedures where phenol functions as a reactive building block. Even at 85 percent concentration, the solution remains corrosive and toxic. Contact with skin can cause chemical burns, and vapors may irritate the respiratory system. Proper storage in sealed containers within a cool, well-ventilated area is essential to maintain stability and minimize exposure risks. Safe handling practices, including appropriate personal protective equipment and strict adherence to safety guidelines, are necessary to prevent injury and environmental contamination during use.
