Phenanthrene

Phenanthrene (CAS 85-01-8 ), also known commercially as Ravatite, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derived primarily from coal tar distillation. It functions as a chemical intermediate and reference standard across dye synthesis and fragrance research. This compound is essential in specialty chemical manufacturing and pigment production. It serves as a precursor in the synthesis of certain vat dyes and fluorescent compounds used in printing inks and packaging coatings. Fragrance researchers use it as a structural reference and intermediate in the development of polycyclic aromatic musks and specialty aroma chemicals. It provides a foundational structure for various high-performance industrial applications. In analytical and quality control laboratories, it is sourced as a certified reference material for PAH testing in food contact materials. This ensures compliance with safety protocols for various packaging substrates and consumer goods. Cosmetic formulators and raw material evaluators also encounter it as a benchmark compound when screening for PAH contamination. This is particularly important when testing petroleum-derived ingredients for purity and safety. The product is available as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid or powder. Standard supply grades include technical grade and high-purity grades of 98% or higher for industrial use. Research and analytical grades are offered at 99% purity for reference standard applications. Packaging ranges from small quantities for laboratory use to bulk quantities for industrial intermediate applications. Contact us for supply of Phenanthrene Request Quote
