Formulation Information for PCMX Disinfectant

To create a 20-liter disinfectant solution with 0.5% PCMX using Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (100% Powder) and Flora Solve™ Clear, a simple three-part ratio cannot be directly applied.

Here's why:

• Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (100% Powder) is not directly soluble in water. It requires dissolution in organic solvents or glycols first.
• Flora Solve™ Clear is designed to solubilize oils and fragrances in water, not solid powders like PCMX.

To make a 0.5% PCMX solution in 20 liters:

• You will need 100 grams of Chloroxylenol (PCMX) (100% Powder).

However, you cannot simply mix the powder with Flora Solve™ Clear and water. The PCMX powder must first be dissolved in a suitable solvent (e.g., alcohol, glycol) before attempting to incorporate it into a water-based system, potentially using a solubilizer like Flora Solve™ Clear to help disperse the solvent-PCMX mixture in water.

Determining the correct amounts of solvent, Flora Solve™ Clear, and water requires specific formulation knowledge and testing to ensure the PCMX is properly dissolved, stable, and effective at the target concentration. The 100% powder form is generally recommended for experienced formulators or industrial production. A water-soluble liquid form of PCMX is also available, which would be much simpler to use for water-based formulations.
