| | Octylphenol Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | 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. | | Chemical Properties | Octyl phenol is a white to pink crystalline solid. | | Description | 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. | | Safety Profile | 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. | | Potential Exposure | 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. | | Incompatibilities | 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. | | Waste Disposal | 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. |
