China and India are the leading exporters of 2-Methylhydroquinone (CAS 95-71-6), collectively accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the largest importing markets. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable over the past two years, with modest upward pressure on 2-Methylhydroquinone prices observed in key importing regions amid tightening supply from major Asian producers.
2-Methylhydroquinone is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, with a faint phenolic odor and moderate thermal stability; it melts at approximately 125–127 °C and exhibits low volatility. It is classified as an aromatic organic compound and a substituted hydroquinone derivative, commonly used as a specialty chemical intermediate. Its primary industrial applications involve synthesis of antioxidants, polymerization inhibitors, and fine chemicals—particularly in the production of hindered phenolic antioxidants and light-stabilized polymers. It serves as a key building block in agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediates, and finds use in high-performance coatings and specialty dyes where controlled redox behavior is required.
Antioxidant, polymerization inhibitor.
