Chlorocresol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 4-Chloro-3-Methylphenol
- P-Chloro-M-Cresol
- PCMC
- Para-Chloro-Meta-Cresol
Chlorocresol supplier enquiries in Malaysia commonly use several names for the same substance, including 4-chloro-3-methylphenol, p-chloro-m-cresol and PCMC. It is a chlorinated phenolic preservative, but it is not PCMX, para-chloro-meta-xylenol, or another member of the wider phenolic family.
Commercial chlorocresol forms include crystalline solid or flakes and prepared solutions or dispersions for dosing. Buyers should state the required form, specification and intended formulation so the relevant grade can be matched without assuming that every chlorocresol presentation is interchangeable.
Chlorocresol is used in preservative systems for adhesives and glues, cellulose-ether and thickener solutions, concrete admixtures, metalworking fluids, lubricants, paints, coatings and inks. It is also specified in selected topical and pharmaceutical formulations where the required grade is suitable.
