In modern life, mobile phones, televisions, refrigerators, and cars have become essential parts of our lives, bringing us much convenience and enjoyment. Mobile phones allow us to chat and talk with friends and family in different places through a thin screen. Televisions allow us to see customs and scenery from all over the world, providing both learning and entertainment. Refrigerators extend the freshness of food, and cars make our travel faster and more comfortable. A crucial component of these products is biphenyl hydroquinone. Biphenyl hydroquinone is an important organic intermediate used as a rubber antioxidant and plastic antioxidant, and it can also be used in colorless vulcanized rubber products, food packaging rubber products, and medical latex products. The tires of our vehicles, the plastic bags we use for shopping, ping-pong paddles for recreation, the rubber seals on food packaging, and even medical gloves in hospitals can all be made from biphenyl hydroquinone.
In the synthesis of polymers, due to its excellent heat resistance, it can be used as a modifying monomer for polyesters, polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polysulfones, and epoxy resins to manufacture excellent engineering plastics and composite materials. In the automotive industry, engineering plastics are primarily used for bumpers, fuel tanks, dashboards, body panels, doors, headlight covers, fuel lines, radiators, and engine-related components. In machinery, they are used in bearings, gears, lead screw nuts, seals, and other mechanical parts, as well as housings, covers, handwheels, handles, fasteners, and pipe fittings. In electronics, they are used in wire and cable sheathing, printed circuit boards, insulating films, and other insulating materials, as well as structural components for electrical equipment. In household appliances, they are used in refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, televisions, electric fans, vacuum cleaners, electric irons, microwave ovens, rice cookers, radios, stereo systems, and lighting fixtures. In the chemical industry, they are used in heat exchangers, chemical equipment linings, and in pipes, fittings, valves, pumps, and other chemical pipelines. In addition to these applications, high-purity engineering plastics are mainly used in the synthesis of liquid crystal polymers, primarily for manufacturing LCD screens in mobile phones, televisions, and other electronic products.
