What is Resorcinol?
Resorcinol is a highly polar compound, readily soluble in water. It appears as white, flaky crystals, but gradually turns red upon exposure to air. Resorcinol is a toxic substance commonly used in the plastics industry, resin synthesis, and many other fields.Due to the toxicity of Resorcinol, protective measures must be taken to ensure personal safety when handling Resorcinol raw materials.
Why do we still use Resorcinol, which is a hazardous material?
- Irreplaceability. In many industries, Resorcinol plays an irreplaceable role. For example, its super-strong adhesive properties.
- Controllability. The toxicity of Resorcinol is controllable as long as we strictly adhere to national standards. For example, controlling the dosage of Resorcinol.

PharmaceuticalsAdded to ointments for treating skin diseases such as acne and psoriasis, providing some antibacterial effects. Normal, moderate use poses little harm to the human body; long-term use is not recommended. Pharmaceutical-grade Resorcinol must be used.
AdhesivesAdded to resins to increase adhesion. For example, used in rubber tires to increase the adhesion between rubber and steel cords, unaffected by environmental or temperature changes.
UV AbsorbersResorcinol and its derivatives can be used in skincare products and added to resin production as UV absorbers, protecting the materials themselves.
CosmeticsAdded to cosmetics as a preservative, anti-dandruff agent, and bactericide; even very low doses can produce whitening effects.
DyesBesides being a major component of hair dyes, it is also used as an industrial dye in fur dyeing, silk dyeing, and red ink production.
Resorcinol Formaldehyde Glue
Resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive is synthesized through a condensation reaction using Resorcinol and formaldehyde as the main raw materials. Compared with traditional phenolic resin adhesives, Resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive has the advantages of lower curing temperature and shorter curing time. It can be used for joining wood products (such as glued laminated wood and finger-jointed boards), especially wood with high moisture content, where it also has excellent bonding performance. It can also be used in the automotive industry, such as for bonding brake pads. Products using Resorcinol-formaldehyde adhesive also have good water and heat resistance, and can be used in humid and high-temperature environments without losing their adhesive properties.
Resorcinol for skin
Resorcinol is used on the skin in two ways. One is as an additive in cosmetics. Cosmetic Resorcinol requires high-purity, low-impurity industrial-grade raw materials, primarily serving as a preservative, antibacterial, and whitening agent, and is also an important ingredient in hair dyes. The other way is as a pharmaceutical ingredient added to medical ointments or injections. However, pharmaceutical-grade Resorcinol must be used, requiring the purchaser to provide relevant qualification certificates, and this grade is subject to strict national regulation.
Highassay Advantage
We are a Resorcinol supplier from China, supporting worldwide shipping. No matter which country you are in, once we establish a partnership, we will deliver the best products to you as quickly as possible. We have a technologically advanced factory behind us, serving as your technical team and providing you with the best after-sales service. For purchase inquiries, please contact us. Highassar is always here.
We obtain Resorcinol by hydrolyzing m-phenylenediamine using an internationally leading catalytic hydrogenation reduction process, resulting in high-quality products.
Resorcinol is a hazardous chemical. High heat can easily produce toxic gases, and dust mixed with air can easily explode. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the necessary materials according to relevant hazardous materials regulations and affix relevant information labels to the packaging.
Although most Resorcinol on the market is industrial-grade, and different applications require different purities, we can also provide pharmaceutical-grade Resorcinol.
