Fine chemicals

Due to the low market situation in the global market the production of fine chemicals are stopped until the new reopening will be announced.

The field of application of oil shale chemicals is extremely broad. Our fine chemical products are used worldwide in the manufacture of pigments, liquid crystals and pharmaceuticals, as a hair dye component, in textile dyeing and in fur tanning. Fine chemical products are also used as analytical chemicals.

2-methylresorcinol

VKG’s 2-methylresorcinol stands out for its very high degree of purity. 2-methylresorcinol is widely used in hair dyes and dyeing furs. The specific colour depends on other ingredients used in the dye mixture and the original colour of the hair treated. The substance can also act as an antioxidant.

2-methylresorcinol can also be used as a raw material in liquid crystals and photo-chemical manufacture.
