Dihydroxybenzoic acids are used as intermediates for pharmaceuticals and other organic synthesis. Used as matrix for ionization of peptides, proteins and carbohydrates. In industrial field used for resins, polyesters, plasticizers, dyestuffs, preservatives, and rubber chemicals. It is also used as is a selected phenol as MMP (Matrix Metalloproteinase) inhibitor.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
