Product Information

• Name: 4-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid, 65% aqueous solution
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an antimicrobial agent in industrial applications. It is commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor, a chelating agent, and an additive for detergents and other cleaning products. 4-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to fatty acids in the cell membrane and preventing them from being incorporated into the cell wall. This process causes the cell wall to weaken and eventually rupture. The reaction mechanism of 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid is similar to that of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, which also inhibits bacterial growth by attacking fatty acids in the cell membrane. 4-Hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid may be preferable because it can be produced from renewable sources rather than from petroleum or natural gas.
