What is meta cresol used for?
Metacresol (m-cresol or 3-methylphenol) is colorless, yellowish liquid. It is used as a bactericide for control of crown gall and olive knot on certain fruit and nut trees and ornamentals and the genetic/physiological disorder burr knot on apples.
How is meta cresol made?
Together with many other compounds, m-cresol is traditionally extracted from coal tar, the volatile materials obtained in the production of coke from (bituminous) coal. This residue contains a few percent by weight of phenol and isomeric cresols.
Is cresol a phenol?
Cresol is a methyl phenol with meta, ortho, and para isomers. It is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. Creosote is a mixture of phenols consisting mainly of cresol and guiacol.

What is cresol solution used for?
Cresol is a methyl phenol with meta, ortho, and para isomers. It is used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. Creosote is a mixture of phenols consisting mainly of cresol and guiacol. It is used as a household remedy for coughs and is found in many proprietary preparations.
Why is cresol used?
Mixtures of cresols are used as solvents for synthetic resin coatings such as wire enamels, metal degreasers, cutting oils, and agents to remove carbon deposits from combustion engines. Other uses of cresol mixtures include ore flotation and fiber treatment.
How is p-cresol metabolized in the body?
It is a partially lipophilic moiety which strongly binds to plasma protein (close to 100%) under normal conditions. p-Cresol is metabolized through conjugation, mainly sulphation and glucuronization, but removal of the unconjugated p-cresol is, at least in part, via the urine.

How are the different types of cresols different?
There are three forms of cresols that differ slightly in their chemical structure: ortho-cresol ( o-cresol ), meta-cresol ( m-cresol, and para-cresol (p-cresol). These forms occur separately or as a mixture. Cresols are used to dissolve other chemicals, as disinfectants and deodorizers, and to make other chemicals.
What kind of odor does p-cresol have?
P-cresol is a colorless solid with a tar like odor. Sinks and mixes slowly with water. (USCG, 1999) P-cresol is a cresol that consists of toluene substituted by a hydroxy group at position 4.
