Product Overview

Resorcinol LR is a high-purity crystalline powder widely used as a laboratory reagent in chemical synthesis and analytical processes. With a minimum assay of 99%, this lab-grade chemical ensures precise and reproducible results in various applications. Its molecular formula (C6H6O2) and low moisture content make it stable for long-term storage under proper conditions. The compound exhibits excellent solubility in water, alcohol, and ether, facilitating easy integration into experimental protocols. Resorcinol LR is particularly valued for its role in resin production, pharmaceutical intermediates, and as a coupling agent in dye manufacturing. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet laboratory standards, ensuring consistency across batches. Its non-hygroscopic nature prevents clumping, maintaining free-flowing properties for accurate dispensing. The chemical’s versatility extends to wood adhesives, rubber compounds, and as a reagent in qualitative analysis. Proper handling with standard laboratory safety measures is recommended due to its mild irritant properties. This LR-grade resorcinol offers researchers and chemists a reliable building block for their experimental needs.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of Resorcinol LR when stored properly?

When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, Resorcinol LR maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the batch-specific expiration date on the label.

2. Can this resorcinol be used for food or pharmaceutical applications?

This LR grade is specifically formulated for laboratory use and is not certified for food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetic applications. For such uses, you would need pharmaceutical or food-grade resorcinol with appropriate certifications.

3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling Resorcinol LR?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood as the dust may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory system.

4. How does the purity of LR grade compare to AR grade resorcinol?

LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade typically has a minimum purity of 99%, while AR (Analytical Reagent) grade usually offers higher purity around 99.5-99.9%. For most standard laboratory applications, LR grade provides sufficient purity.
