Reports on a robust international market demand for dihydroxybenzene, which includes three isomers of catechol, hydroquinone, and resorcinol. Producers include Rhodia, Eastman, Goodyear, Sumitomo Chemical, and Eni; Slow growth of dihydroxybenzene capacity in China.

The article reports that chemicals company Solvay SA has planned to construct an additional production capacity for its hydroquinone (HQ) and methyl hydroquinone (MEHQ) in China in 2018 as part of its aroma performance business activities.

The article reports that the Ministry of Commerce of China (MOC) has announced that China will impose anti-dumping duties on tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) originating from India since August 22, 2014, till the next five years.

The article presents answers to a question about a prescription written by a physician for 8% hydroquinone cream.

The article presents an answer to a question about the hydroquinone skin bleaching cream.

The article provides an answer to a question concerning hydroquinone.

The article focuses on the nanoscale spherical lenses as a means to beat the lenses' diffraction limit. The lenses, which are made up of calix[4]hydroquinone self-assembly, were introduced by a group of researchers including Philip Kim of Columbia University in New York City and Kwang S. Kim of Pohang University of Science and Technology in South Korea. Researchers noted that nanoscale lenses could be utilized as auxiliary components for resolution enhancement of scanning probe microscopes.

The article focuses on the discovery of polyoxyethanyl ubiquinyl sebacate (PQS) by Bruce H. Lipshutz and Subir Ghorai of the University of California in Santa Cruz. It states that the hydroquinone ring with lipophilic polyprenoid and hydrophilic polyethylene glycol side chains has made the PQS. It is noted that the nanoscale micelles in water formed by PQS are ideal nanoreactors for the reactions of ring-closing metathesis. Further, it offers new green platform for fulfilling micellar catalysis.

The article reports on the foundation ceremony held by Rhodia in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province in China in March 2006, marking the start of construction of the company's diphenols production plant. The facility will manufacture catechol and hydroquinone. Expected start-up of the operation will be in the first half of 2007.
