Dissolving PCMX Powder in Water
Question
I am having trouble dissolving 100% PCMX powder in water. It does not dissolve even after adding alcohol and forms crystals. How can I make it soluble in water?
Answer
How to Dissolve PCMX Powder in Water
You are experiencing difficulty dissolving 100% PCMX (Chloroxylenol) powder in water, even with the addition of alcohol, because the powder form is not water-soluble. It is designed to dissolve in organic solvents or glycols.
To make PCMX soluble in water, you should use a pre-solubilized, water-soluble version. We recommend using Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (15% Water Soluble).
- This product is a liquid form of PCMX that is specifically formulated to dissolve easily in water.
- Using this water-soluble version is the most effective way to incorporate PCMX into water-based formulations.
While solubilizers like Flora Solve™ Clear or Free Solve™ are useful for dissolving oils and fragrances in water, the Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (15% Water Soluble) product is the intended solution for achieving water solubility of PCMX itself.
