Phenol was isolated for the first time from coal tar in 1834. Initially, its disinfecting properties meant that it was used to treat wounds.
It was soon discovered that a vast number of useful derivatives could be synthesised from it, preparing the ground for today's high-quality, high-value Phenol derivative products.
At room temperature, Phenol is a white, crystalline material that melts at 41° C (105° F).
With Phenol extracted from coal tar, it took an extreme effort to meet even 99.6% purity. Soon after INEOS Phenol started producing Phenol in Gladbeck, Germany in 1954, our process delivered a purity of 99.7%.
Today, we meet the quality requirements of the most demanding producers with purity of our Phenol in excess of 99.99% without water.
