Chemical Properties： colourless to light yellow liquid
General Description： Colorless liquid with a sweet tarry odor. Sinks and mixes slowly with water.

Reactivity Profile： m-Cresol is sensitive to air, light and heat. m-Cresol is also hygroscopic. m-Cresol can react vigorously with strong oxidizers and strong bases. m-Cresol reacts violently with nitric acid, oleum, chlorosulfonic acid, metals and strong acids. If the water content is below approximately 0.3% and the temperature above 248° F, the corrosion of aluminum and its alloys may occur violently. m-Cresol will attack some forms of plastics, coatings and rubber.
