Resorcinol, identified by CAS number 108-46-3, is a crucial component in the rubber industry, primarily utilized for its ability to enhance the adhesion between rubber compounds and various reinforcing fibers. This property is paramount in the manufacturing of high-performance rubber products where the integrity of the bond is critical for durability and safety.

In the production of tires, conveyor belts, hoses, and other industrial rubber goods, reinforcing materials like steel, nylon, polyester, and aramid fibers are embedded within the rubber matrix to provide strength and structural integrity. Resorcinol, when used in conjunction with a formaldehyde donor (often hexamethylenetetramine or HMTA), forms resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resins in situ during the vulcanization process. These resins create a strong chemical bridge, effectively bonding the rubber to the reinforcing cords.

The RF resin system provides several benefits: it significantly increases the adhesion strength, improves the fatigue resistance of the rubber product, and enhances its overall durability. Without effective adhesion, the reinforcing elements could delaminate under stress, leading to premature product failure.
