Overview of Chloroxylenol

Chloroxylenol (also known as PCMX) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antiseptic agent widely used in personal care, hygiene, and home care formulations. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is valued for its effectiveness against bacteria, fungi, and certain viruses, even at low concentrations.

In personal care and hygiene products, Chloroxylenol is commonly used in antibacterial hand washes, antiseptic liquids, medicated soaps, body washes, and topical hygiene formulations. It helps control microbial growth, reduce infection risk, and maintain hygiene standards. Chloroxylenol is often formulated with ingredients such as Benzalkonium Chloride, Triclosan alternatives, Chlorhexidine Gluconate, and Ethanol to create effective antimicrobial systems.

In home care applications, Chloroxylenol is used in disinfectant cleaners, surface sanitisers, floor cleaners, and household antiseptic products where reliable germ control is essential. Its stability and proven performance make it suitable for both household and institutional hygiene products.
