Product Description

Product Description

Salicylic acid is an important organic compound. The following is a detailed introduction to it from various aspects such as basic information, physical and chemical properties, mechanism of action, and main uses:

Basic Information

 

Salicylic acid, known as Salicylic Acid in English, abbreviated as SA, and its chemical name is o - hydroxybenzoic acid. Its molecular formula is , and the molecular weight is 138.12.

Physical and Chemical Properties

 

• Physical Properties
  At room temperature, it appears as white needle - like crystals or wool - like crystalline powder, odorless, with a slightly sweet taste turning to pungent. The melting point ranges from 158 - 161°C, and the boiling point is 211°C (2.67 kPa). The relative density is 1.443, and the flash point is 157.2°C. It is slightly soluble in cold water and easily soluble in hot water, ethanol, ether, chloroform, and other organic solvents.
• Chemical Properties
  It has acidity, and its aqueous solution shows an acidic reaction with a  value of 2.97. Due to the presence of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups in the molecule, it can undergo various chemical reactions such as esterification, acylation, and oxidation.

Mechanism of Action

 

• In the Medical Field
  By inhibiting the synthesis of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, it exerts antipyretic, analgesic, and anti - inflammatory effects. At the same time, as a keratolytic agent, it can loosen the connections between keratinocytes, cause the stratum corneum to shed, and also inhibit the growth of fungi.
• In the Cosmetics and Skin - care Field
  Thanks to its lipophilicity, it can penetrate deep into the pores, dissolve sebum, and clean the dirt inside the pores. By loosening the connections between keratinocytes, it accelerates the shedding of the stratum corneum, promotes skin metabolism, and also has certain anti - inflammatory effects to relieve skin inflammation.

Main Uses

 

• Medical Field
  • Antipyretic and Analgesic
    It is the precursor of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), which can be used to relieve headaches, toothaches, neuralgias, muscle aches, menstrual pains, etc., and can also be used for fever caused by colds.
  • Treatment of Skin Diseases
    As an antifungal agent, it can be used to treat skin fungal infections such as tinea capitis and tinea pedis. As a keratolytic agent, it is often used in the treatment of skin diseases such as acne, psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis.
• Cosmetics and Skin - care Field
  • Pore Cleansing
    It can effectively improve problems such as enlarged pores and blackheads.
  • Exfoliation
    It makes the aged stratum corneum shed, making the skin smoother and more delicate.
  • Anti - inflammatory and Acne - fighting
    It can reduce the redness, swelling, and inflammation of acne - prone skin.
• Chemical Industry Field
  • Synthesis of Fragrances
    It is an important raw material for the synthesis of fragrances such as methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) and ethyl salicylate, and is widely used in products such as food, cosmetics, and toothpaste.
  • Dye Intermediate
    It is used to synthesize various dyes such as azo dyes, providing a source of colors for industries such as textiles and printing and dyeing.
  • Rubber Additive
    In the rubber industry, it is used as an anti - scorching agent, vulcanization activator, etc., improving the quality and performance of rubber products.

Safety and Precautions

 

• Irritation
  High - concentration use may cause irritation to the skin and mucous membranes, resulting in symptoms such as skin redness, itching, and stinging. In severe cases, it can lead to skin burns.
• Allergic Reaction
  Some people may be allergic to salicylic acid. After use, allergic symptoms such as rashes, urticaria, and breathing difficulties may occur. Once these symptoms appear, stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.
• Systemic Toxicity
  Large - scale ingestion or long - term and extensive use may be absorbed into the body, causing salicylate poisoning, manifested as symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus, and hearing loss. In severe cases, it can be life - threatening.
