MUSCAT CHEMICAL TAG::
Cresols give creosote its antibacterial and insecticidal properties, as well as its toxicity and its ability to irritate bare skin. As phenol derivatives, cresols can be used in phenol-formaldehyde resins. m-Cresol is also used in making photographic developer and explosives.
Polyester fibers are soluble in hot meta-cresol. Polyacrylonitrile fibers dissolve in dimethyl formamide. Acetate rayon dissolves in 50% solution of acetic acid but viscose is not affected. All rayon will dissolve in 60% solution of sulphuric acid or concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid.

Together with many other compounds, m-cresol is traditionally extracted from coal tar, the volatile materials obtained in the production of coke from (bituminous) coal. This residue contains a few percent by weight of phenol and isomeric cresols.
