1.Performance and use:
Used in pharmaceuticals, plastics, pesticides, paints and other industries, also used as a developer.
It is obtained from the industrial dimethylphenol residue after excising the 3,5-dimethylphenol fraction by cutting the 223~226℃ fraction in the distillation tower, and then cooling and crystallising and centrifugal separation. In addition, o-xylene as raw material, sulfonated by sulfuric acid, then alkali fusion, acid precipitation, distillation, 3,4-dimethylphenol can also be obtained.
