Product Description
P-Aminophenol (PAP), also known as 4-Aminophenol, is an important aromatic organic compound widely used as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical, dye, and photographic industries. It appears as white to light brown crystalline powder and is sensitive to air and light, which may cause discoloration over time.
The compound is especially important in the synthesis of paracetamol (acetaminophen) and is also used in hair dye formulations, photographic developers, and various specialty chemicals.
Because of its versatility and reactivity, P-Aminophenol CAS 123-30-8 is a critical raw material in modern chemical manufacturing.
