Product Description

Phenol Ice Crystals, also known as carbolic acid in solid form, are crystalline compounds of phenol with a melting point near room temperature, giving them an “ice-like” appearance. Phenol is a aromatic organic compound widely used as a precursor in chemical synthesis, disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals. It exhibits antiseptic, antiseptic, and solvent properties. Due to its toxicity and corrosiveness, phenol requires careful handling.
