Pyrogallol Crystals Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Pyrogallol Crystals Extra Pure are high-purity white to pale yellow crystalline solids with strong reducing properties. Widely used as a reducing agent in analytical chemistry and organic synthesis, they play an important role in oxygen absorption and measurement. Their antioxidant nature finds applications in pharmaceuticals and photographic development. Pyrogallol must be handled carefully as it is sensitive to oxidation by air and light, and can cause irritation upon contact. Proper storage in dark, airtight containers preserves its stability and performance.
