Antimicrobial Activity
PCMX is a bactericidal active which, in a large number of differing formulations, has been proved over many years to be highly efficient against a wide range of microorganisms. PCMX is bactericidal, not merely bacteriostatic and control is afforded versus fungi, gram positive, gram negative bacteria and some viruses. Many virus types are resistant to chemical germicides including PCMX but can be controlled by the use of easily formulated mixtures of PCMX and other bactericides.

Other general advantages of PCMX preparations when compared with other bactericidal agents are:

• PCMX is compatible with a wide range of anionic and amphoteric surfactants and soaps and formulation is easy. Pine oil is a useful carrier and adjunct for PCMX and bactericidal activity can be enhanced by its use.
• For various applications PCMX may be formulated with other chlorinated phenols, sulphur and quaternary ammonium compounds. It is compatible with a wide variety of pharmaceuticals including hydrocortisones, pramoximes, propylparaban and sulphathiazoles.
• Dirt and particulate soil can inactivate all bactericides to a greater or lesser extent. PCMX based formulations are more tolerant than most in this respect.
• PCMX is bactericidally active over a pH range of at least 4 - 9.
• PCMX exhibits low metal corrosivity; an important factor where instrumentsterilization is involved.
