O-Cresol – 500ml Packs

O-Cresol is a phenolic aromatic compound supplied for scientific laboratory work, practical instruction and suitable analytical procedures. It has an aromatic hydroxyl group with a methyl substituent adjacent to it, and it can be corrosive or harmful upon contact. The product is listed in a 500ml Packs pack, helping laboratories select the stated presentation while assessing the intended experiment. Its use in a laboratory should be based on the specified composition, experimental method and current Safety Data Sheet rather than on the name alone. The identified substance is associated with the molecular formula C7H8O and CAS number 95-48-7. In educational and research settings it is principally relevant to phenol reactivity and aromatic chemistry. Laboratory personnel should confirm the applicable grade, compatibility, purity requirements, storage conditions and any method-specific limitations before carrying out tests or preparing solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions About O-Cresol

What is O-Cresol used for in laboratories?

O-Cresol is used in carefully selected contexts including phenol reactivity and aromatic chemistry. The intended method determines whether the stated grade or formulation is suitable. Always match the substance or prepared reagent to the teaching protocol, analytical standard or research method before starting work.

What is the formula and CAS number of O-Cresol?

The listed molecular-formula information is C7H8O, and the CAS information is 95-48-7. These identifiers describe the named chemical substance, not any unlisted proprietary formulation.

Can O-Cresol be used for school or college practicals?

It may be used in appropriate supervised experiments related to phenol reactivity and aromatic chemistry, provided the institution has assessed its hazards, chemical compatibility and method requirements. Risk assessment, access controls and the handling instructions from the actual product SDS are especially important for hazardous reagents.

What should be checked before using O-Cresol?

Check the product identity, pack presentation, necessary experimental concentration and the current Safety Data Sheet. Make sure the named molecular identity and any relevant grade restrictions match the intended laboratory procedure.

How should O-Cresol be stored and handled?

Store tightly sealed away from oxidizers and sources of heat in suitable chemical storage. Use chemical-compatible packaging, appropriate protective gloves and eye protection and a ventilated workstation where required. Follow the current SDS for accidental release, incompatibilities, emergency planning and responsible disposal of used material.

Storage Conditions for O-Cresol

Store tightly sealed away from oxidizers and sources of heat in suitable chemical storage. Keep the material in a correctly labelled, compatible container, away from unauthorized access. Observe the actual manufacturer formulation and associated SDS for temperature controls, incompatibilities, segregation and any additional storage requirements.

Precautions for Handling O-Cresol

Review the latest product Safety Data Sheet before handling O-Cresol. Wear chemical-resistant gloves, appropriate eye protection and laboratory clothing, and work with suitable ventilation. Avoid inhalation and unnecessary contact with skin or eyes. Do not mix with incompatible chemicals or dispose of residues into ordinary drains without authorization. Use appropriate spill procedures and trained supervision, especially where corrosive, mercury-containing, reactive or flammable ingredients are present.
