Reliable Biocide Chemical for Antimicrobial Solutions, 2,4-Dichloro-3,5-Dimethyl-Phenol (DCMX)
Product Name: 2,4-Dichloro-3,5-Dimethyl-Phenol (DCMX)
CAS No.: 133-53-9
Molecular Formula: C8H8Cl2O
Molecular Weight: 191.05
Product Description:
2,4-Dichloro-3,5-Dimethyl-Phenol (DCMX) is a highly effective antimicrobial agent, commonly used for its potent biocidal properties in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications. This product appears as a pale white or light yellow powder with a characteristic phenolic odor, which makes it easily identifiable in formulations. DCMX is primarily used in water treatment, industrial cleaning, and personal care products due to its ability to control microbial contamination, including bacteria, fungi, and algae.
With a high purity of >98.0%, DCMX delivers excellent performance in various antimicrobial applications. The compound has a melting point of 92-95°C and a boiling point of 269°C, which ensures stability under different environmental conditions. Its low moisture content (<0.5%) and minimal iron impurity (<80 ppm) contribute to its suitability for demanding formulations where purity and quality are critical.
DCMX is slightly soluble in water (0.2g/L), making it ideal for use in aqueous systems where solubility control is required. Its minimal burning residue (<0.5%) further ensures clean applications, especially in industrial processes where purity is paramount.
