description Product Description
Used in the synthesis of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances due to its reactive aromatic structure. Acts as a key intermediate in the production of antioxidants for rubber and plastics, helping to prevent degradation from oxygen and ozone. Employed in hair dyes and skin-lightening products, though restricted in some regions due to toxicity concerns. Also utilized in electroplating processes and as a chelating agent in water treatment systems. Research explores its role in developing biodegradable polymers and sensors due to its redox properties.
