4-Methoxyphenol is an active ingredient and used in dermatology. It is employed as a pharmaceutical drug in skin depigmentation. It is used as polymerization inhibitors. For example, in the radical polymerization of acryaltes and styrene monomers. It is also used as an intermediate in the preparationagrochemicals, liquid crystals. It acts as a stabilizer for the formulation of inks, toners and adhesives. It is mainly used as an additive for textile and leather industries.
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.
