Use & Application

Rubber & Tire Industry: The largest consumption field. Used to prepare resorcinol-formaldehyde resin (RF resin), acting as bonding agent between rubber and reinforcing materials such as steel cord, nylon, polyester cord; widely applied in radial tires, conveyor belts, hoses, rubber rollers to improve adhesion strength and heat resistance.

Adhesive Field: Raw material for wood adhesives, plywood, particle board and waterproof structural adhesives; used for cold-setting and high-temperature resistant adhesive systems.

Coating & UV Materials: Raw material for UV absorbers (benzophenone series), anti-aging agents for coatings, paints and plastic films; improves light stability and prevents yellowing.

Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Synthesize anti-infective, topical antiseptics, dermatological preparations, and intermediates for anti-asthma medicines.

Dye & Pigment: Intermediate for acid dyes, azo dyes, hair dyes and fluorescent dyes; produces colorants for textiles, ink and cosmetic hair color formulations.

Plastics & Flame Retardants: Crosslinking agent and modifier for phenolic resin, epoxy resin, polyamide; precursor for phosphorus-containing flame retardants.

Analytical Reagent: Used for qualitative/quantitative detection of aldehydes, sugars, nitrite and heavy metal ions in laboratory analysis.

Cosmetic & Personal Care: Restricted raw material in hair dye products following regional regulatory requirements.
