An attribute often associated with the Wine .. But also to Disinfectants , To a Type of panels (“ Phenolic plywood ”Or“ Phenolic multilayer ') And a Gluing mode (“ Phenolic glue ”). And also to the Cosmetics ..

When we speak of "phenolic" we refer to something that contains phenol, an aromatic chemical compound that serves to replace one or more hydrogen atoms with hydroxyl-OH groups. Derived from benzene and also known as Phenic acid , Phenol is itself a corrosive substance and is very soluble in ethyl ether, ethanol and acetic acid. But it also has many Beneficial properties , As we will see in the case of cosmetic and dermatological products.

Phenolic substances: use of the phenic acid

Synthetic resins

The last 25 -30 years have seen a strong increase in the production of synthetic resins and plastics. These are materials obtained with polymerization processes starting from simple substances derived from petroleum and widely used in various areas: Automotive , Boating , Building , Communication .. Specifically, synthetic resins are applied in the construction of door and window profiles, floors, multilayer panels, marine compensated, electrical cables, tubes, optical fibers, computers, microchips, cellular telephony.

Nylon

The term nylon refers to a set of polyamide fibers the best known of which is the Nylon 6.6 , By us commonly called" Nylon ”. Nylon is the oldest industrial prepared synthetic fiber, with the Phenic acid Interested in the first part of the process: starting from benzene is obtained in fact the phenol, which by hydrogenation is transformed into cyclohexanol, in turn oxidized to cyclohexanone.

Dyes

Phenol is used to obtain dyes and has a background of wide use in the cosmetic industry for the manufacture of hair dyes and sun protectors.

Cleaners & Disinfectants

Among the oldest disinfectants, phenol is widely used in the production of Alkylphenols Which are applied in the field of synthetic detergents and household products. Phenolic compounds are also found in some varieties of mouthwash and hand soaps with a disinfectant action.

Herbicides and herbicides

Among the various organic herbicides, those phenolic derivatives are used for pre-harvest defoliation in cotton crops and also serve to thin out flowers in fruit trees. An area in continuous evolution is that of herbicides and herbicides, with the aim of obtaining increasingly eco-friendly solutions that do not affect the human body.

Wine and phenolic compounds

Phenolic substances are fundamental components for the entire wine sector. In fact, they give the wine Characteristic color , As well as the Final taste .. A complex discourse, given that the flavor of wine is given by a series of elements, not least the various oenological techniques.

What we are interested in highlighting here is that phenols are part of the process that goes from the first phase to the aromatization process, reacting with the acids contained in the wines for Confer the final imprint .. The grape itself contains a high concentration of natural phenols, from the Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory power ..

Salicylic acid for cosmetic and dermatological use

We now come to phenol in medicine and in the field of cosmetics.

The secret of the Exfoliating capacity Of Many cosmetic and dermatological products ? The Salicylic acid , A very useful remedy in the case of acne, hyperkeratosis, dark machines, warts and skin imperfections. Very versatile and appreciated for its antibacterial and soothing properties, salicylic acid also plays a preservative action in foods and makes aseptic toothpastes and mouthwashes.

Synthesized in the laboratory, salicylic acid is also easily found in nature, particularly in fruits such as apricots, oranges, pineapples, strawberries and in flowers such as tulips, violets and hyacinths. In cosmetics it is found in Specially calibrated percentages , Ad hoc formulas that make it compatible with the organism avoiding the risks of intolerances and hypersensitivity.

But what does salicylic acid have to do with Phenolic substances ? It is easy to say: salicylic acid contains the acid carboxyl and phenolic hydroxyl, and through the reaction of acids and phenols gives the characteristic violet color.

In the concrete, cosmetics and dermatological products based on salicylic acid are a Real exfoliating force : In fact, they favor the detachment of the dead cells of the epidermis without affecting the deepest layer of the dermis. In the case of dischromies a Peeling with salicylic acid Once a week. The result? A soft, smooth and shiny skin.

FGM04 products with salicylic acid include the Detergent Gel DMAE 200 ml , An effective solution that hydrates and tones the skin with a Gentle peeling effect .. Ideal for everyday use, it removes impurities and oxygenates the skin by eliminating traces of sweating, smoke, smog, dust. Also indicated for mature and sensitive skin.
