Hydroquinone is an industrial grade aromatic compound supplied as white crystalline solids with strong reducing properties. It is produced through controlled chemical synthesis to ensure high purity and stable performance in demanding manufacturing environments. The material dissolves readily in water and common solvents and is valued for its reliability in formulations that require precise oxidation control or polymer stabilisation.

Hydroquinone

Used widely as a polymerisation inhibitor in the production of vinyl monomers and resins, in photographic processing solutions, in antioxidant systems for industrial formulations, in rubber processing, in dyes and pigment intermediates, and in speciality chemical synthesis where controlled reduction is required. Technical grades are also used in coatings, adhesives and electronic materials.

Irritant substance that may affect skin, eyes and respiratory system. Avoid prolonged contact. Handle with PPE and good ventilation. Sensitive to light and air which can cause gradual degradation.

Supplied in 25 kilogram fibre drums or HDPE containers with inner liners. Store in cool, dry and dark conditions away from oxidants and sources of heat in accordance with SDS guidance.
