Chloroxylenol（Cat No.:I005294）is an antiseptic and disinfectant commonly used in healthcare and household products for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. It effectively kills or inhibits a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, making it ideal for sanitizing surfaces, wound cleansing, and hand hygiene products. Chloroxylenol’s mechanism involves disrupting microbial cell walls and inactivating enzymes, preventing further growth and contamination. Known for its safety and mildness, it is often used in antiseptic soaps and disinfectant solutions, particularly in environments requiring stringent hygiene, such as hospitals and clinics, to control infections and reduce disease spread.
