Resorcinol (1,3-Benzenediol) Market by Applications and Geography - Global Trends & Forecasts up to 2018
Resorcinol is a white crystalline compound with a weak odour and bittersweet taste. Resorcinol has been widely known as a versatile chemical compound utilized in the development of technologies to benefit human life. This report describes in detail different applications of Resorcinol. The largest user of resorcinol is the rubber industry. It is the essential component of an adhesive system used in the tire manufacturing process and other fiber-reinforced rubber mechanical goods. Resorcinol is also used for high-quality wood bonding applications in manufacturing fluorescent and leather dyes and adhesives formulated from resorcinol–formaldehyde resins or phenol-modified resorcinol–formaldehyde resins. Resorcinol is an important chemical intermediate in specialty chemicals manufacturing such as light screening agents used to protect plastics from exposure to ultraviolet light. Resorcinol is used in resins as an UV absorber. It is used in pharmaceutical to treat acne and other greasy skin conditions in combination with other acne treatments such as sulfur. It is used as an anti-dandruff agent in shampoo, fungicidal creams, lotions and sunscreen cosmetics. Resorcinol is also used to manufacture dyestuffs, flame retardants, agricultural chemicals, explosive primers, antioxidants, a chain extender for urethane elastomers, and a treatment to improve mechanical and chemical resistance of paper machine fabrics.
INDSPEC Chemical Corporation (U.S.) and Sumitomo Chemical Co. (Japan) are amongst major market players in the global resorcinol market. The report also segments the market by geographies such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World.
