Product Description
Preventol CMK, chemically known as 4-Chloro-3-methylphenol (Chlorocresol), is a powerful antimicrobial and preservative widely recognized for its ability to inhibit bacteria, fungi, and mold growth. As a crystalline solid with high purity, Preventol CMK ensures reliable performance in a wide range of formulations. Its strong efficacy against microorganisms makes it an indispensable raw material in paints, adhesives, polymer dispersions, emulsions, leather, textiles, and paper industries.
The product shows excellent stability under various processing conditions and is compatible with many organic solvents, while being only slightly soluble in water. This unique solubility profile allows it to remain effective in both aqueous and solvent-based systems. By preventing microbial degradation, Preventol CMK helps extend product shelf life and maintain consistent quality.
Applications
Preventol CMK is commonly applied in:
Waterborne paints, varnishes, and coatings for long-lasting preservation
Adhesives, emulsions, and dispersions requiring microbial protection
Leather and textile treatment to prevent mold and odor development
Paper manufacturing and industrial water systems as a biocide
Packaging
Standard packaging is 25 kg fiber drums with inner PE liner, ensuring safety and moisture protection. Alternative packaging such as paper bags, cartons, or IBC drums can be provided according to customer requirements.
