It is a biocide used as a preservative with E number E231 and under the trade names Dowicide, Torsite, Fungal, Preventol, Nipacide and many others. Uses The primary use of 2-phenylphenol is as an agricultural fungicide. It is generally applied post-harvest as a fungicide used for waxing citrus fruits. It is also used for disinfection of seed boxes. It is a general surface disinfectant, used in households, hospitals, nursing homes, farms, laundries, barber shops, and food processing plants. It can be used on fibers and other materials. It is used to disinfect hospital and veterinary equipment. Other uses are in rubber industry and as a laboratory reagent. It is also used in the manufacture of other fungicides, dye stuffs, resins and rubber chemicals. The sodium salt of orthophenyl phenol, sodium orthophenyl phenol, is a preservative, used to treat the surface of citrus fruits.Environmental Fate and Exposure Potential https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/substance/14709584 2-Phenylphenol - Substance Summary National Center for Biotechnology Information, U.S. National Library of Medicine 2 June 2012 2-Phenylphenol is a precursor to 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, a commercial fire retardant. Preparation It can be prepared by condensation of cyclohexanone to give cyclohexenylcyclohexanone. The latter undergoes dehydrogenation to give 2-phenylphenol. Another route, it is a significant and recovered by product of the reaction of chlorobenzene with alkali which primarily gives phenol. Safety LD50 (rats) is 2700 to 3000 mg/kg. 2-Phenylphenol is no longer a permitted food additive in the European Union but is still allowed as a post-harvest treatment in 4 EU countries.10.1002/14356007.a16_563.pub2 Biocides 2013 Uhr Hermann Mielke Burkhard Exner Otto Payne Ken R.
