Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
As pure substance, p-cresol is crystalline solid, has a phenolic odour and is colourless or yellow or brown. However p-cresol is typically used containing impurities which lead to lower melting points. Therefore, technical product is liquid but crystallisation may occur at colder ambient temperataures while stored. In these cases, the substance is warmed up in order to get a melt. Thus, the substance is mainly used in a liquid form.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
