Pyrogallol

P-Phenylene diamine, or PPD, is an extremely versatile as well as a highly reactive organic chemical compound, finding a wide range of applications in industries and laboratories alike. Applications of this chemical as an intermediate for dyes, mainly in the textile industry, are found in the manufacture of hair dyes and colorants. Due to its strong chemical nature, it finds further use in photographic development processes and in chemical synthesis as a reagent.

PPD is a strong candidate, since it is able to form stable and vivid dyes, hence now somewhat quite essential for long-lasting bright colors. It finds applications in polymer chemistry, as well as sometimes in the ingredient formulation of products that require intensive action from its oxidative properties. The handling and storage must be with care because the nature of PPD is reactive, and for such reasons necessary precautions must be taken to keep up safety along with its effectiveness.

This chemical usually comes in solid form and should be handled accordingly with precautions because it has the potential for causing allergic reactions and possible irritations. It is important that appropriate PPE and safety precautions are followed when handling PPD.
