Safety & Health
- Environmental Information
Cresylic acids are toxic towards both fish and aquatic invertebrates and care must be taken to prevent them from entering surface or ground waters. Cresylic acids tend to sink in fresh water but will float in concentrated brine. They are biodegradable in aerobic conditions. Soil or other materials contaminated with cresylic acids may become hazardous and must be disposed of by trained personnel according to regulations. In case of fire, cresylic acid vapors may form and be carried with smoke downwind, creating the possibility of exposure. Cresylic acids have a low potential for bioaccumulation.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information

Storage & Handling
- Storage And Handling
- CA55 is stable and has an indefinite shelf-life with regard to composition. Depending upon storage conditions, it may absorb moisture from the air, darken in color over time, or leach low level metals from the storage vessel. This will be minimized, however, if the container remains sealed and the product is not exposed to air or excessive heating.
- Product should be sampled and evaluated for suitability if stored longer than 1 year.
Safe handling Advice
- Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Further information on storage conditions
- Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Storage and Handling Materials
- Unsuitable: Avoid use of aluminum, copper or brass alloys in storage or process equipment which will contact this material.
