Description

Octyl phenol is a white to pink crystalline solid.


Octylphenol belongs to the wider family of alkylphenols, and is used as an intermediate in the production of phenolic resins and in the manufacture of octylphenol ethoxylates. Some alkylphenols can bioaccumulate in fishes, and some of their degradation products, including octylphenol, are toxic to aquatic life.


Poison by intraperitoneal route. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidzing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. See also PHENOL.


As a fuel oil stabilizer; as an intermediate for resins; in fungicides, bactericides, dyestuffs, adhesives, antioxidants, nonionic surfactants; plasticizers and rubber; in adhesives; and food packaging.


Dissolve or mix the material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an after burner and scrubber. All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must be observed.

Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, and epoxides.

Octylphenol Use and Manufacturing

Octylphenol is in the EU produced (in 2001) at 23.000 tonnes per year. The main areas of use are as an intermediate in the production of phenol/formaldehyde resins and in the manufacture of octylphenol ethoxylates. These chemicals are used to in rubber, in pesticides and paints. Octylphenol mainly reaches the marine environment in waste waters from factories.
