Resorcinol, commonly known as resorcin, is a product with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-itch properties. Its antibacterial effect is one-third that of phenol, and it has less irritation and corrosiveness. At low concentrations, it promotes the regeneration of stratum corneum, while at high concentrations, it has a keratolytic effect.
Resorcinol is mainly used in rubber adhesives, synthetic resins, dyes, preservatives, pharmaceuticals, and analytical reagents. It is similar to phenol and cresol, and can react with formaldehyde to form condensation polymers. These are used for the production of adhesive fibers and tire cord adhesives for nylon. They are also used to prepare wood adhesives for bonding vinyl materials to metal. Resorcinol is an intermediate for many azo dyes and fur dyes, as well as a raw material for the pharmaceutical intermediate 4-aminosalicylic acid. Resorcinol has antibacterial properties and can be used as a preservative, added to cosmetics and ointments for skin diseases.
