What is Resorcinol?

Resorcinol

Resorcinol is commonly known as “resorcinol”. This product has bactericidal, fungicidal and antipruritic effects. Its bactericidal effect is 1/3 of that of phenol, and its irritation and corrosiveness are also small. Low concentration can promote keratin regeneration, and high concentration can exfoliate the cuticle. It is mainly used in rubber adhesives, plastics, synthetic resins, synthetic fibers, dyes, preservatives, antipruritic agents, antifungal agents, analytical reagents, and also for the treatment of tinea, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, acne and psoriasis.

Resorcinol is an important organic synthetic raw material. It is mainly used in rubber adhesives, analytical reagents, preservatives, drugs, dyes, synthetic resins, and other raw materials. For example, eosin is an important triphenylmethane dye. It is mainly used to dye silk. It is heated by resorcinol and phthalic anhydride in the presence of zinc chloride or concentrated sulfuric acid to produce intermediate fluorescent yellow, and then tetrabromination And made. Eosin is commonly used to make red ink, and it can also be used as a dye for microscopic examination of biomaterials. If the intermediate fluorescein chemical book is brominated in acetic acid solution, the only dibromide can be carried out, and then it can be heated with mercuric acetate to produce mercuric bromide, which is an important antiseptic. It is easy to dissolve in water, 2% of the water solution is the “red medicine solution” for daily sterilization and disinfection. The alcohol acetone solution of red mercury can also be used for skin disinfection. 4-n-hexylhydroquinone can be prepared by acylation of resorcinol and hexanoic acid, which is also a disinfectant. In medicine, it is also used as a local antipruritic agent and intestinal digestive agent.
