Understanding the Chemical Properties and Safety of 2-Fluorophenol
At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe in empowering our clients with comprehensive knowledge about the chemicals they use. This includes a thorough understanding of 2-Fluorophenol's chemical properties and its safe handling. 2-Fluorophenol, with the CAS number 367-12-4, is a clear, colorless to light yellow-brownish liquid. Its molecular formula is C6H5FO, and it has a molecular weight of 112.10 g/mol. Key physical properties include a melting point typically between 14-16°C, a boiling point around 150-152°C, and a density of approximately 1.215 g/mL. These characteristics are vital for determining its behavior in various chemical reactions and storage conditions.
Safety is paramount when working with any chemical, and 2-Fluorophenol is no exception. It is classified as a flammable liquid and vapor, with a flash point of 46°C. It is also considered harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection, is essential when handling this compound. Proper ventilation is also crucial to minimize inhalation exposure. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. strongly advises referring to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling, storage, and emergency procedures. Adherence to these guidelines ensures a safe working environment and prevents potential hazards associated with its use.
The reactivity of 2-Fluorophenol as a weak organic acid means it can react with bases, and its flammability necessitates keeping it away from ignition sources. It's important to store 2-Fluorophenol in a tightly closed container, protected from light, and in an area with good ventilation. Our commitment extends beyond just supplying chemicals; we aim to foster a culture of safety and informed practice within the chemical industry. By providing clear specifications and safety guidelines for 2-Fluorophenol, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supports researchers and manufacturers in utilizing this valuable intermediate responsibly and effectively in their diverse applications.
