Product introduction
Resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxybenzene; CAS 108-46-3) is a crystalline aromatic dihydroxy compound used as a reactive monomer and functional intermediate in industrial chemistries. Commercial grades are supplied as white to slightly yellow crystalline flakes or powder and are employed primarily for the production of resorcinol-formaldehyde resins, specialty adhesives, rubber chemicals and as a building block for fine chemicals and dye intermediates. Request lot-specific Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before qualification.
Applications & Descriptions
-
Resin Monomer (Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Resins)
Used as the key phenolic monomer in resorcinol-formaldehyde resols and novolaks for high-performance adhesives and binders, notably in structural wood bonding and plywood adhesives. -
Adhesives & Composite Binders
Employed in adhesive formulations for tire cord, laminated composites and specialty structural adhesives where heat-and-moisture resistance is required. -
Rubber Chemical Intermediate
Used to produce vulcanisation accelerators, antidegradants and adhesive promoters for rubber compounding and tyre cord bonding. -
Specialty Chemical Intermediate
Building block for synthesis of antioxidants, dye intermediates, UV-stabiliser precursors and other fine chemicals requiring a dihydroxybenzene motif. -
Corrosion Inhibitor & Oilfield Additives
Precursor for certain corrosion inhibitors and oilfield chemistry components where phenolic functionality is advantageous. -
Analytical Reagent & Laboratory Use
Used as a reagent and reference standard in analytical methods, spectrophotometric reagents and R&D synthesis.
