Product Description
Preventol CMK (p-Chloro-m-cresol, CAS No. 59-50-7) is a highly effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used in both industrial and personal care applications. As a phenolic preservative, it provides reliable protection against bacteria, fungi, and yeast, helping to maintain product stability, prevent spoilage, and extend shelf life.
This high-purity crystalline solid has an off-white to pale yellow appearance and a mild phenolic odor. It is slightly soluble in water but readily soluble in alcohols, oils, and organic solvents, making it compatible with a wide variety of formulations, including coatings, adhesives, metalworking fluids, leather treatment chemicals, and personal care products. Its chemical stability ensures that antimicrobial activity is maintained even in high-temperature or alkaline environments, offering dependable performance across demanding industrial and cosmetic systems.
Preventol CMK can be used alone or in combination with other preservatives to enhance synergistic antimicrobial effects. Its low required concentration and high efficiency make it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers seeking consistent and long-lasting protection.
