Application

Used as a raw material for organic synthesis, particularly in the production of polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants. Phenyl ether serves as a high temperature heat transfer fluid in industrial closed loop systems due to excellent thermal stability up to 400 deg C. In fragrance industry, it imparts a geranium like floral note and acts as a fixative in soaps and detergents. It is also an intermediate for agricultural chemicals, dye carriers, and specialty solvents for electronic cleaning applications.

Custom Synthesis Support

We offer custom synthesis for phenyl ether derivatives including halogenated, nitrated, and alkylated analogs. Share your technical datasheet for feasibility review.

Packaging and Shipping

Available in 1 L, 20 L, 200 L drums or IBC totes. Custom packaging such as stainless steel containers with heating jacket for solidification prevention is supported. Fastest dispatch within 7 days after order confirmation. Non hazardous under normal transport conditions, but solidification may occur below 26 deg C; warm to liquefy before use.

FAQ

Q1 How should phenyl ether be stored?
A Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed. If solidified, warm the container to 30 to 40 deg C to liquefy before use. Shelf life is 36 months in original sealed container.

Q2 What purity grades do you supply?
A Standard grade is 99.0 percent. We also supply 99.5 percent grade for electronic and pharmaceutical applications.

Q3 Is phenyl ether suitable for high temperature heat transfer systems?
A Yes, it is widely used in closed loop heat transfer systems up to 400 deg C. Provide your system specifications for compatibility verification.

Q4 Do you offer sample quantities for formulation testing?
A Yes, free samples of 500 mL are available for qualified US companies. Shipping fee applies for small quantities.

Q5 Can you supply phenyl ether in customized packaging to prevent solidification?
A Yes, we can supply in insulated totes or provide heating instructions. Custom packaging with nitrogen overlay is also supported.

Q6 Is phenyl ether stable under UV light?
A Prolonged UV exposure may cause yellowing. Store away from direct sunlight. For sensitive applications, request stabilizer added grade.
