Phenol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Hydroxybenzene
- Carbolic Acid
- Benzenol
- C6H5OH
Phenol supplier for resin, plastics, coatings, manufacturing and synthesis buyers in Malaysia. Also known as hydroxybenzene, carbolic acid and benzenol (C6H5OH, CAS 108-95-2), phenol is a core aromatic intermediate ordered as solid crystals or as molten liquid for process feed.
Commercial presentations include phenol crystals, molten phenol, industrial grade and high-purity material. Crystals suit solid charging and storage; molten phenol supports heated bulk transfer where liquid handling is preferred. Grade and assay are confirmed against the buyer's specification rather than assumed interchangeable.
Typical uses include phenolic resin manufacture, bisphenol A and related intermediates, adhesives, laminates, coatings chemistry and selected pharmaceutical or laboratory synthesis. This page covers phenol only, not phenoxyethanol, chloroxylenol (PCMX), cresols or cresylic acid.
Send the required form, grade, assay or specification, quantity, application and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Phenol 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phenol crystals | white to colourless crystalline solid | typically 99% minimum, confirmed against the required specification | Charging, storage and process use where solid phenol crystals are preferred over molten delivery, including resin manufacture and intermediate synthesis. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Molten phenol | clear liquid above the melting point | industrial or high-purity assay confirmed against the required specification | Bulk process feed where liquid handling, heated transfer or continuous dosing is preferred for phenolic resin and intermediate manufacture. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Industrial grade phenol | solid crystals or molten liquid as specified | industrial purity confirmed against the required specification | Phenolic resins, laminates, adhesives, coatings intermediates and general chemical synthesis where industrial-grade phenol is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity phenol | solid crystals or molten liquid as specified | high-purity or reagent assay confirmed against the required specification | Synthesis routes and process duties that specify tighter impurity limits than standard industrial material. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Phenol applications
Safety and handling
- Classification
- toxic, corrosive
Store sealed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from oxidisers and incompatible materials. Phenol can cause severe burns and systemic toxicity: use suitable PPE, avoid skin contact and inhalation, and follow the safety information for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about phenol
Are phenol, hydroxybenzene and carbolic acid the same product?
Yes. Phenol, hydroxybenzene, carbolic acid and benzenol refer to the same compound, C6H5OH (CAS 108-95-2). Carbolic acid is an older common name and should not be confused with disinfectant actives such as chloroxylenol or with phenoxyethanol. State the form and grade with the enquiry.
Should I request phenol crystals or molten phenol?
Phenol crystals are ordered when solid charging or ambient storage is preferred. Molten phenol is selected for bulk liquid handling and continuous process feed above the melting point. Match the form to your plant handling method rather than treating the two as interchangeable by default.
Is industrial phenol the same as high-purity or reagent grade?
Not always. Industrial grade covers common resin and intermediate duties. High-purity or reagent grades carry tighter impurity or documentation limits. Send the target assay and any impurity limits so the quoted grade can be matched more closely.
Is phenol the same as phenoxyethanol, PCMX or cresylic acid?
No. Phenol is C6H5OH. Phenoxyethanol, chloroxylenol (PCMX), cresols and cresylic acid are different products with different identities and uses. Enquiries for those materials should use their own product pages rather than this phenol page.
What applications commonly specify phenol?
Buyers typically specify phenol for phenolic resin manufacture, bisphenol A and related intermediates, adhesives, laminates, coatings chemistry and selected synthesis routes. Describe the end use so form and grade can be aligned with process needs.
What details are needed for a phenol price enquiry?
Provide the form (crystal or molten), grade, target assay or specification, quantity, application and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any documentation needs so the quotation can address the full requirement.
