Bronopol
Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol) is a water-soluble, white crystalline powder or granules with a slight odor. It is a synthetic antimicrobial agent widely used as a preservative in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Bronopol exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms. It works by releasing active formaldehyde slowly, which disrupts microbial metabolism and reproduction.
Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate
Cupric Sulphate Pentahydrate (Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate) is a bright blue crystalline solid with the chemical formula CuSO₄·5H₂O. It is the hydrated form of copper sulfate and is highly soluble in water. This compound is widely used in agriculture, chemical manufacturing, and laboratory applications due to its fungicidal, algicidal, and micronutrient properties. The pentahydrate form is the most common and commercially available, known for its vivid blue color and versatile reactivity.
Distilled Water
Distilled Water is purified water that has been processed through distillation, a method involving evaporation and subsequent condensation to remove impurities, salts, minerals, and organic matter. This results in ultra-pure, clear, odorless, and tasteless water free of dissolved solids and contaminants. Distilled water is non-conductive, neutral in pH under ideal storage, and chemically stable. It is widely used across pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical, industrial, and consumer applications where high water purity is critical.
Formalin
Formalin Formaldehyde is an aqueous solution containing approximately 37% formaldehyde by weight, stabilized typically with 10-15% methanol to prevent polymerization. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent, penetrating odor. Formaldehyde is a simple aldehyde widely used as a disinfectant, preservative, and chemical intermediate. Formalin’s powerful antimicrobial and tissue-fixation properties make it essential in medical, laboratory, industrial, and manufacturing applications. It is one of the most commonly used chemicals worldwide for sterilization, embalming, and resin production.
