About m-Cresol, 98%

Vaqora Chemicals supplies m-Cresol (Synthesis grade), an aroma chemical registered under CAS number 108-39-4 with a typical assay of 98%. With the molecular formula C7H8O, it has a molar mass of 108.14 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 3-methylphenol. Common synonyms include 1-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzene and 3-Hydroxytoluene.

The material typically appears as a colourless to yellow to red liquid. Key physical data: a melting point of 8-10 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for flavour formulation, fragrance compounding, aroma research and polymer and resin production. Typical end-use sectors are food and beverage processing, cosmetics and personal care and polymers and plastics.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L, 4 x 25 kg and 160 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
