Product Introduction
2-Nitrophenol (CAS 88-75-5), commonly referred to as o-Nitrophenol, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5NO3. It typically appears as light yellow needle-like crystals or a crystalline powder with a characteristic phenolic odor. A unique physical property of 2-Nitrophenol (CAS 88-75-5) is its high steam volatility, which allows for efficient separation from its para-isomer during industrial production. As a versatile aromatic intermediate, it is indispensable in the fine chemical industry for the manufacture of dyes, pesticides, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Storage
2-Nitrophenol is toxic and slightly volatile. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent dust dispersion and moisture absorption. Store in a dedicated area for toxic substances, away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and food/feed products. Protect from direct sunlight and high temperatures. Properly stored, it has a shelf life of 24 months.
