Overview
Cresols give creosote its antibacterial and insecticidal properties, as well as its toxicity and its ability to irritate bare skin. As phenol derivatives, cresols can be used in phenol-formaldehyde resins. m-Cresol is also used in making photographic developer and explosives.
Applications
Cresols give creosote its antibacterial and insecticidal properties, as well as its toxicity and its ability to irritate bare skin. As phenol derivatives, cresols can be used in phenol-formaldehyde resins. m-Cresol is also used in making photographic developer and explosives.
Dosage and directions
Together with many other compounds, m-cresol is traditionally extracted from coal tar, the volatile materials obtained in the production of coke from (bituminous) coal. This residue contains a few percent by weight of phenol and isomeric cresols.
Characteristics and notes
Polyester fibers are soluble in hot meta-cresol. Polyacrylonitrile fibers dissolve in dimethyl formamide. Acetate rayon dissolves in 50% solution of acetic acid but viscose is not affected. All rayon will dissolve in 60% solution of sulphuric acid or concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate
ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of
vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low
areas. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by
wetbrushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section
13). Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
6.4 Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13.

8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately
after handling the product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye
protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove
removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact

applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive
89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which
differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This
recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist
and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use
scenario.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must
be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance
at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface
respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387)
respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole
means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and
components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
