  • Applications

    Phenol, 2-ethoxy-4-(methoxymethyl)- (CAS 5595-79-9) is primarily regarded as an organic intermediate with practical relevance across several industries. It may serve as a fragrance ingredient or synthesis intermediate in perfumery and flavor applications, subject to safety standards and formulation limits. In cosmetics and personal care, it can be used as a fragrance component or as part of chemical synthesis for formulations, depending on local regulations. In industrial manufacturing, it functions as an intermediate for the production of plastics, specialty polymers, resins, and building blocks for coatings and inks. It may also be used as a starting material in cleaning and household products to impart scent or as a precursor in subsequent chemical transformations, depending on regulatory requirements.
