Resorcinol Typical Properties

Resorcinol Usage

• Rubber & Tire Industry:

  • RFL Dipping Adhesive Systems: Used to formulate dipping solutions, it is a key agent for achieving strong adhesion between rubber and the fibers or steel cords found in tire carcass plies, conveyor belts, and V-belts.

• Wood Adhesives & Resins:

  • Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Resins: Used to formulate room-temperature ambient-curing waterproofing adhesives for structural engineered wood, glulam (glued laminated timber), and marine plywood.

• Dyes, Pigments & UV Absorbers:

  • Dye & Pigment Intermediate: Key building block for synthesizing fluorescein, eosin, rhodamine dyes, azo dyes, and optical brighteners.

  • UV Absorbers & Plastics Additives: Intermediate for producing Benzophenone-type UV absorbers to protect polymers and coatings from photodegradation.

• Pharmaceuticals & Personal Care:

  • Topical Dermatological Active: Acts as a keratolytic agent, antiseptic, and anti-seborrheic component in acne treatments, psoriasis ointments, hair dyes, and anti-dandruff formulations.

Resorcinol Packaging and Shipping

Packing: 25KG/Drum

Resorcinol Storage

Keep container strictly sealed in a cool, dry, dark, and well-ventilated dedicated warehouse.

Protect strictly from air exposure, moisture, ambient heat, and direct sunlight, as exposure causes discolored oxidation.

Store far away from strong oxidizers, strong alkalis, iron salts, and food products.
