Description

Diphenyl Oxide (Diphenyl Ether) is a versatile aromatic compound used in fragrance, industrial, and chemical applications. It is known for its floral, powdery scent reminiscent of geranium and rose, making it a popular choice in fine fragrances, detergents, and personal care products. Additionally, its thermal stability and heat transfer properties make it essential in high-temperature industrial processes.

Applications of Diphenyl  Oxide:

Fragrance Industry:

  • Used in perfumes, colognes, and body sprays for its long-lasting floral notes.
  • Common in soaps, shampoos, and laundry detergents to provide a clean, powdery scent.
  • Ideal for rose, geranium, and lily-of-the-valley blends.

Flavor Industry:

  • Occasionally used as a flavoring agent in spices and herbs for food and beverage formulations.

Industrial Applications:

  • Widely used as a heat transfer fluid in high-temperature industrial systems.
  • Essential in chemical manufacturing processes as a chemical intermediate for producing polymers, resins, and surfactants.
  • Used in liquid-phase heat transfer systems in pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants.

Personal Care Products:

  • Found in lotions, creams, and deodorants to enhance scent profiles and product longevity.
  • Provides a powdery finish in cosmetic formulations.

Storage Guidelines:

  • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and open flames.
  • Use airtight, chemical-resistant containers made of stainless steel, glass, or HDPE to prevent contamination and oxidation.
  • Recommended storage temperature: 10-25°C (50-77°F).
  • Keep the product away from moisture and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.

Handling Guidelines:

  • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing, to avoid direct contact with the product.
  • Ensure good ventilation in the workspace to minimize exposure to vapors.
  • Avoid sparks, open flames, and static electricity as the product is combustible.
  • Handle with non-reactive tools and equipment to avoid chemical reactions.

Spill Management:

  • In case of a spill, contain the liquid using inert absorbent material such as sand, vermiculite, or diatomaceous earth.
  • Collect the absorbed material in a proper chemical waste container.
  • Avoid using combustible materials like paper towels for cleanup.
  • Clean the area thoroughly with soap and water after spill containment.

Disposal:

  • Dispose of unused product and waste materials in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations for hazardous substances.
  • Do not release into drains or water systems.
