Uses
Octylphenol is in the EU produced (in 2001) at 23.000 tonnes per year. The main areas of use are as an intermediate in the production of phenol/formaldehyde resins and in the manufacture of octylphenol ethoxylates. These chemicals are used to in rubber, in pesticides and paints. Octylphenol mainly reaches the marine environment in waste waters from factories.

Description
Octylphenol belongs to the wider family of alkylphenols, and is used as an intermediate in the production of phenolic resins and in the manufacture of octylphenol ethoxylates. Some alkylphenols can bioaccumulate in fishes, and some of their degradation products, including octylphenol, are toxic to aquatic life.
