High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental testing.

Overview

Octylphenol is a member of the alkylphenol family, which are organic compounds obtained by the alkylation of phenols. These compounds are significant in various industrial applications due to their chemical properties.

Octylphenol is produced by the alkylation of phenol with alkenes, resulting in a compound that is used in the manufacture of detergents, phenolic resins, and other industrial products.

Uses

Octylphenol is extensively used as a precursor in the production of detergents and surfactants. It is also a key component in the manufacture of phenolic resins, which are used in various industrial applications including adhesives, coatings, and high-performance rubber products.

Additionally, octylphenol is used in the production of fragrances, thermoplastic elastomers, antioxidants, oil field chemicals, and fire retardant materials.

Regulatory

Due to its environmental and health impacts, the use of octylphenol is regulated in many regions. The European Union has implemented restrictions on its use due to concerns about its toxicity, persistence, and potential to bioaccumulate. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is also evaluating its use to ensure actions are based on sound science.

Monitoring

Monitoring the presence of octylphenol in the environment and food products is crucial for compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting residue analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to ensure accurate and reliable results.

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity reference materials for octylphenol, tested according to international quality requirements and meeting the highest industrial standards.

Health Impact

Octylphenol is classified as a xenoestrogen, meaning it can mimic estrogen and disrupt endocrine function. Long-chain alkylphenols, including octylphenol, have potent estrogenic activity, which can lead to various health issues.

Exposure to octylphenol has been linked to reproductive and developmental problems in wildlife and potentially in humans.

Environmental Impact

Octylphenol is persistent in the environment and can bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms, leading to long-term ecological effects. Its presence in water bodies can disrupt the endocrine systems of aquatic life, leading to reproductive and developmental issues.

Due to its environmental persistence and bioaccumulative nature, octylphenol is a significant concern for environmental monitoring and regulation.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and disposal of octylphenol are essential to minimize its environmental and health impacts. Safety measures include using personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the compound and following regulatory guidelines for disposal.

Laboratories and industries using octylphenol should implement stringent safety protocols to prevent accidental releases and exposure.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH offers high-purity reference materials for octylphenol, ensuring accurate and reliable residue analysis. Our products are tested according to international quality requirements and meet the highest industrial standards.
