CAS 122-99-6 corresponds to 2-phenoxyethanol, which is a colorless, slightly viscous organic liquid with broad-spectrum anti-corrosion and antibacterial properties as well as high boiling point solvent functions. Its molecular formula is C ₈ H ₁ O ₂ and its molecular weight is 138.16.

Core parameters
-Chinese name: Phenoxyethanol (alias: 2-phenoxyethanol, ethylene glycol phenyl ether)
-English name: 2-Phenoxyethanol/Phenoxyethanol
-Molecular formula/weight: C ₈ H ₁₀ O ₂/138.16
-Appearance: Colorless and transparent liquid with a weak aromatic odor
-Key physical and chemical indicators: boiling point of approximately 242-247 ℃, density of 1.107 g/mL (20 ℃), melting point of 11-13 ℃, flash point of 121 ℃
-Solubility: Easily soluble in water and most organic solvents (ethanol, acetone, etc.)

Main application areas
1. Cosmetics and personal care: As a highly effective preservative, it is widely used, with regulations in various countries typically limiting the maximum concentration to 1%, which has inhibitory effects on both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.
2. Industrial solvents: used as high boiling film-forming aids and solvents for inks, coatings, resins, dyes, and cellulose acetate.
3. Medicine and vaccines: Replace sodium azide as an antibacterial agent in injections, vaccines, and biological buffers, with relatively low toxicity.

Safety and Storage
-Toxicity: The oral LD of rats is about 4000 mg/kg, belonging to the low toxicity category, but it is irritating to the eyes; Avoid high temperature and open flames (flammable).
-Storage requirements: Seal and store in a cool and ventilated place, away from oxidants.
-Attention: The concentration of cosmetics should be strictly controlled, and it is recommended to wear protective goggles and gloves for industrial operations.

Packing

Packing: In 25kg, 230kg plastic drum.
