What Is Chloroxylenol (PCMX)?

Chloroxylenol (PCMX, 4-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol), CAS 88-04-0, is a chlorinated phenol antimicrobial. It is the active ingredient in many antiseptic disinfectant liquids and is also used to preserve industrial and cleaning products.

The crystal grade has a minimum assay of 98.5%, with limits on xylenol-related impurities. PCMX has low water solubility, so formulations use soaps, surfactants or solvents to dissolve it.

Finished disinfectants need their own efficacy testing and product authorization; the raw material does not carry those approvals. PCMX ships as UN 3077, Class 9, packing group III.

As a chloroxylenol supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM supplies the white to off-white crystals in packaging agreed with the quotation. Lead time is about 14 days from order confirmation.
