What is o-Cresol？
Technical Overview: O-Cresol (CAS 95-48-7)
O-Cresol (CAS 95-48-7), chemically structured as 1-hydroxy-2-methylbenzene, serves as a vital aromatic building block for precision industrial manufacturing. Process engineers track this molecule primarily for its role as a key chemical intermediate in synthesis pathways for targeted agricultural compounds, specialty polymers, and pharmaceutical actives.
During formulation, our ortho-cresol isomer behaves as a high-efficiency alkylphenol precursor, transforming cleanly into advanced antioxidants and durable phenolic resins. Plant teams handle the raw material as a crystal-clear to pale straw liquid that dissolves smoothly into organic alcohols and esters within standard processing vessels.
Formulating with Ortho-Cresol Isomers
[Raw Feedstock Blend] ➔ [Catalytic Vapor Alkylation] ➔ [Continuous Fractional Distillation] ➔ [Pure O-Cresol 99.5%]
The diagram above tracks the optimized manufacturing path that delivers our stabilized chemical fractions. Our refinery isolation process targets the following baseline parameters:
| Parameter Matrix | Checked Value Profile | Operational Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Active Purifying Level | \(\ge \) 99.50% (validated by GC) | Zero-defect formulation shielding |
| Water Content Cap | \(\le \) 0.10% (Karl Fischer titration) | Side-reaction neutralization |
| Phenol Impurity | \(\le \) 0.15% | High-selectivity processing |

Why Choose Zhishang chemical?
1. Uncompromised Volume Capacity & Spot Storage
We shield your production schedules from sudden market shortages by maintaining a constant 450-metric-ton inventory buffer at our central logistics facility. Our manufacturing plant operates continuous fractional distillation loops that push out a steady monthly output of 1,200 tons. This infrastructure ensures you bypass typical supply chain bottlenecks. Whether you need a single 200kg test drum or a full 20-ton ISO container drop, your freight leaves our loading dock within 48 hours.
2. Advanced Low-Moisture Isolation Technology
Our tech team engineered a closed-loop catalytic alkylation path that drops moisture levels down to a strict maximum of 0.10%. This precise control stops target degradation inside your reaction baths, eliminating downstream purification costs. We monitor every batch with automated gas chromatography (GC) to guarantee exact isomer consistency across multi-year contracts. Your quality assurance team receives an airtight, factory-direct Certificate of Analysis (COA) before the material ever enters your warehouse.
FAQ
It comes down to distillation control and molecular geometry. O-Cresol (ortho-cresol) carries its methyl group at the second carbon position, giving it a lower melting point (30.9°C) and unique steric hindrance traits compared to m-cresol or p-cresol. If your plant is compounding high-performance antioxidants or custom resins, using a mixed cresol blend instead of pure 95-48-7 will alter your polymerization rates and ruin your batch consistency.
This aromatic compound is highly sensitive to atmospheric oxygen and direct UV rays. Exposure causes the liquid to oxidize and shift from water-white to a dark pink or reddish-brown tint. To protect the shelf life, store the chemical inside tight-head steel drums under a nitrogen gas blanket at ambient room temperatures.
Yes, our refined batches align completely with precision pharmaceutical synthesis metrics. By keeping total trace phenol impurities strictly under 0.15% via multi-stage fractionating columns, our material prevents unexpected side-reactions during downstream processing. This clean profile accelerates your internal validation and simplifies compliance tracking.
We streamline cross-border shipping by packing the material inside standard 200kg steel drums or bulk 20-ton ISO tanks. Our export desk manages all regulatory MSDS manifests and customs documentation upfront to ensure hassle-free port clearance. Standard freight orders clear our dock within 5 to 7 business days.
