Product Description

Product Description of Hydroquinone CAS# 123-31-9

Hydroquinone is a colorless or white crystalline solid. It darkens upon exposure to air and light, with faster oxidation in alkaline solution.
It melts at 170-171°C and boils at 285-287°C, with maximum UV absorption at 288 nm. It dissolves easily in hot water, ethanol and ether, and is slightly soluble in benzene. Chemically active, it is prone to oxidation and can undergo esterification and substitution reactions.


Product Application of Hydroquinone CAS# 123-31-9

Hydroquinone is widely applied in analysis and industry. It is used for colorimetric detection of various elements and iridium electrochemical analysis. It acts as a reducing agent and testing reagent for multiple substances. It also works as photographic developer, antioxidant, desulfurizer and urea fertilizer synergist.
