Product Description
Designed for demanding industrial environments, Preventol CMK (p-Chloro-m-cresol, CAS No. 59-50-7) is a high-performance broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative. It effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast, ensuring long-term stability and microbial protection in coatings, adhesives, polymer dispersions, leather treatments, and metalworking fluids.
Preventol CMK is a crystalline solid ranging from off-white to pale yellow, with a characteristic mild phenolic odor. Its solubility profile—slightly soluble in water, readily soluble in alcohols, oils, and organic solvents—makes it highly compatible with both water-based and solvent-based systems. Its strong chemical stability enables it to maintain antimicrobial efficacy in high-temperature or alkaline conditions, providing reliable protection throughout production, storage, and usage.
This preservative can be used alone or combined with other compatible preservatives to achieve synergistic effects, enhancing protection while minimizing the required dosage. Its high efficiency at low concentrations makes it a cost-effective solution for manufacturers seeking consistent, long-term antimicrobial performance.
