Product Description
Preventol CMK (p-Chloro-m-cresol, CAS No. 59-50-7) is a reliable broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and hygiene products. It provides strong protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold, helping to ensure product safety, stability, and extended shelf life. Its efficiency even at low concentrations makes it ideal for formulations that require gentle yet effective preservation.
This high-purity phenolic compound appears as an off-white to pale yellow crystalline solid with a mild phenolic odor. It is slightly soluble in water, but readily soluble in alcohols, oils, and organic solvents, making it compatible with lotions, creams, soaps, shampoos, hand sanitizers, and other hygiene formulations. Preventol CMK maintains antimicrobial activity under typical storage and usage conditions, including moderate temperature and varying pH levels.
Preventol CMK can be used alone or in combination with other preservatives to achieve synergistic effects, allowing formulators to optimize microbial protection while minimizing total preservative load. Its broad-spectrum activity ensures safety for both manufacturers and end-users, helping meet global regulatory standards in cosmetics and personal care.
