General

What is Resorcinol? Also known as dihydroxybenzene, it is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄(OH)₂. It is one of three isomeric benzenediols, the 1,3-isomer (or meta-isomer). Resorcinol crystallises from benzene as colourless needles that are readily soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but insoluble in chloroform and carbon disulphide.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Resorcinol, ensuring reliable and consistent performance for all applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.
