Plastics industry

In the production of high-performance polymers such as liquid crystal polymers (LCP) and plastic fibers. High-performance polymers (HPPs) are special plastics with exceptional physical and chemical properties. They are able to remain stable under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, aggressive chemicals or high pressure.

Cosmetics industry

p-Hydroxybenzoic acid is used in the production of parabens. Parabens are chemical compounds that are often used as preservatives in cosmetic products, food and pharmaceutical products. They help to prevent the growth of bacteria and molds, which extends the shelf life of products.

Technical and pharmaceutical applications

p-hydroxybenzoic acid is used in the automotive and tire industries and as an additive for phenolic resins and de-icing agents. Phenolic resins, also known as phenol-formaldehyde resins, are synthetic polymers produced by the polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde.
