Cresylic Acid (Mixed Cresols) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Mixed Cresols
- Cresols
- Methylphenol
Cresylic acid supplier for phenolic resin, solvent-blend and disinfectant manufacturers in Malaysia. Also called mixed cresols or methylphenol, it is a commercial blend of ortho, meta and para cresol isomers, often with some xylenol content, rather than a single pure compound.
Buyers typically select industrial mixed cresols, an isomer-ratio specified grade, or a higher-boiling cut that carries more xylenol. The product is sold under mixture CAS 1319-77-3 and controlled by isomer balance, boiling range, colour and related impurities instead of a single molecular formula.
Resin plants use cresylic acid as a phenolic feedstock for moulding compounds, laminates and coatings. Solvent blenders value its ability to dissolve materials that resist plain hydrocarbon solvents, while cleaning and agricultural formulators use suitable grades as the active phenolic component in disinfectants.
Send the required grade or isomer profile, boiling-range or colour target, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Cresylic Acid grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial mixed cresols | clear to brown liquid blend of o-, m- and p-cresol | — | General phenolic resin manufacture, industrial solvent blends and disinfectant base formulations where a mixed-isomer grade is acceptable. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Isomer-ratio specified cresylic acid | liquid with stated ortho, meta and para cresol proportions | — | Resin and intermediate work that depends on a defined isomer balance for reactivity, odour or crosslink behaviour. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-boiling cresylic acid with xylenol content | higher-boiling liquid fraction containing cresols and xylenols | — | Phenolic resin systems and selected technical formulations that call for a higher boiling range or xylenol-bearing cut rather than light mixed cresols. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Cresylic Acid applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- corrosive, toxic
Store sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from oxidisers and foodstuffs. Cresols are corrosive and readily absorbed through skin: handle with chemically resistant gloves, eye protection and adequate ventilation, and refer to the safety data sheet before use.
Common questions about cresylic acid
What is cresylic acid and how does it differ from a single cresol isomer?
Cresylic acid is a commercial blend of methylphenols, mainly the ortho, meta and para cresol isomers, often with some xylenol content. It is sold under mixture CAS 1319-77-3 and specified by isomer ratio and boiling range rather than as a single pure isomer.
Which cresylic acid grade should I request?
Industrial mixed cresols suit general phenolic resin, solvent and disinfectant work. Request an isomer-ratio specified grade when reactivity or odour depends on a defined ortho, meta and para balance, or a high-boiling xylenol-bearing cut when the process needs a heavier fraction.
What specifications should a buyer provide?
State the intended application and any required isomer ratio, boiling range, colour, phenol content and packing preference. If a plant already runs on a fixed grade, include the current specification so the quoted cut can be matched more closely.
Is cresylic acid used in phenolic resins and disinfectants?
Yes. Resin manufacturers use mixed cresols as a phenolic feedstock, and formulators use suitable grades as the active phenolic component in industrial and agricultural disinfectants. Suitability depends on the finished recipe and the grade selected.
Can documentation and packing be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List the required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for a cresylic acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade or isomer profile, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention any preferred packing and timing so the quotation can address the complete requirement.
