Chlorocresol BP (PCMC)
Chlorocresol BP, also known as PCMC (Para-Chlorometa-Cresol), is a white to off-white crystalline powder with a characteristic phenolic odor. It is a chlorinated phenol derivative widely used as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservative. It exhibits effective bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it a preferred preservative in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care products. Chlorocresol is valued for its stability, solubility in aqueous and alcoholic systems, and compatibility with various formulation types. It helps inhibit microbial growth, thereby enhancing product shelf life and safety.
Sodium Hydrosulphite
Sodium Hydrosulphite, also known as sodium dithionite, is a white to yellowish powder with a strong reducing property. It is highly soluble in water and decomposes readily, releasing sulfur dioxide and sulfites. Widely used as a powerful reducing agent and bleaching agent, it finds applications in textile processing, paper and pulp industries, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing. Its ability to break down colored compounds makes it ideal for decolorization and cleaning processes.
