Local:
Disinfectant is an agent applied to inanimate objects to destroy, neutralize, or inhibit the growth of disease-carrying microorganisms, (whereas antiseptics are applied primarily to living things). Heat and radiation are also disinfectants. Common ingredients of chemical disinfectant are:

  • Mercuric Chlorides
  • Formaldehyde
  • 8-Hydroxyquinoline
  • Copper Hydroxide
  • Cresol
  • Alcohols (Ethyl Alcohol; Isopropyl Alcohol)
  • Iodines / Iodophors
  • Chlorine releasing compounds
  • Gluteraldehyde
  • Phenolics
  • Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

P-tert-Amylphenol is used in formulating disinfectants and sanitizers for the microbiological protection of water based products. It is used as a chemical Intermediate for perfumery, dyestuffs, pharmaceuticals and other products. Hazards Overview: Causes burns by all exposure routes. Harmful if swallowed and inhaled. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Target Organs: Blood, kidneys, liver, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, eyes, skin.
