Versatile Applications4-Aminophenol serves diverse industries, notably as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis for paracetamol production, as a dye precursor, and in photographic chemical development. Its reliable quality makes it suitable for use as an analytical reagent in laboratory research. With multiple grades available, it caters to technical, laboratory, and pharmaceutical requirements.
Safety and Handling PrecautionsGiven its toxicity (Hazard Class 6.1), handling 4-Aminophenol requires strict adherence to recommended safety measures. Always store in a tightly closed, well-ventilated container, between 28C, and protect contents from light and moisture. Use appropriate protective equipment to minimize risk of exposure via ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation.
Quality Assurance and ComplianceA Certificate of Analysis is available upon request, ensuring batch-specific quality and compliance with industrial and laboratory standards. 4-Aminophenol meets regulatory guidelines for use in laboratory reagents and industrial chemicals, assuring consistency and reliability for manufacturers and end-users.
FAQs of 4-Aminophenol:
Q: How should 4-Aminophenol be stored to maintain its stability?
A: It should be stored in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area between 2C and 8C, protected from light and moisture. This helps to maintain its stability and prevent degradation due to air oxidation and moisture.
Q: What are the main applications of 4-Aminophenol?
A: 4-Aminophenol is used primarily in the synthesis of paracetamol (acetaminophen), dye manufacturing, as a developer in photographic chemicals, and as an analytical reagent in chemical laboratories.
Q: When is it necessary to request a Certificate of Analysis for 4-Aminophenol?
A: A Certificate of Analysis should be requested when you require batch-specific purity, quality assurance, or regulatory documentation for laboratory, industrial, or pharmaceutical usage.
Q: Where does 4-Aminophenol show incompatibility during handling or storage?
A: It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, acids, and acid chlorides, and should not be stored or handled in contact with these substances to avoid hazardous reactions.
Q: What is the process for handling spills of 4-Aminophenol safely?
A: In case of a spill, use personal protective equipment and ventilate the area. Collect the solid using non-sparking tools and place it in a suitable container for disposal, while avoiding skin contact and inhalation.
Q: How can users benefit from using high-purity 4-Aminophenol?
A: High-purity grades (99%) ensure reliable and consistent results in pharmaceutical synthesis, especially for paracetamol production, as well as in dye manufacturing and chemical analysis, reducing the risk of contaminants.
