8-Hydroxyquinoline,8-Hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), 8-Quinolinol, or 8-Oxychinolin is a versatile organic compound widely used across pharmaceutical, chemical, analytical, and industrial applications due to its distinctive chelating, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and stabilizing properties. It forms the stable complexes for precise metal ion detection in analytical chemistry and effective corrosion inhibition in material science (e.g., OLEDs). 8-Hydroxyquinoline also exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of antifungal, antibacterial, and drug derivatives in pharmaceutical research and development. Its utility extends to agricultural fungicide formulations and as a preservative in specialized industrial products where microbial control is essential. As established 8-Hydroxyquinoline manufacturers and suppliers in the USA, we provide high-quality material with consistent assay and impurity profiles, supported by comprehensive documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and traceability to meet regulatory and quality expectations of U.S. formulators, research laboratories, and industrial users. With dependable lead times and competitive USD-based pricing, our 8-Hydroxyquinoline supports diverse downstream applications in the U.S. chemical, pharmaceutical, and analytical industries.

Production of Quinolate fungicides. 8-HQ reacts with copper salts to form Copper-8-quinolinolate, a powerful seed protectant and wood preservative that prevents fungal decay
Primary APIs for intestinal anti-infectives. 8-HQ Halogenation ring results in potent medicines like Cloxiquine and Halquinols, used in both human and veterinary medicine to treat skin infections and gastrointestinal distress
Precipitating agent and extraction reagent in the separation of metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and zinc. Forms insoluble metal-oxinate complexes is vital for Specialty Metal Salts & Reagents.
Stable under normal temperatures; however, it is light-sensitive and can darken over time if exposed to air and UV light
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area
Keep containers tightly closed and protected from light
Recommended storage is 15°C to 25°C
Because of its unique chelation properties. Once it forms a complex with copper or zinc, it becomes highly insoluble in water but retains massive bio-potency against fungi, allowing the treatment to remain on the seed even in damp soil conditions.
We monitor for residual Quinoline and Phenol impurities via HPLC. Our process ensures a purity level of ≥ 99.5%, which is critical for CDMOs who use 8-HQ as a starting material for validated API synthesis to prevent downstream by-products.
Yes. 8-HQ is a "General Functional Reagent" in metallurgy used to extract and refine various metal elements by forming solvent-extractable complexes, making it essential for Rare Earth Metal processing.
