PEG-75 is a widely used ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products.
Being derived from lanolin, it is also referred to as PEG-75 Lanolin.
PEG-75 functions as an emulsifier and surfactant, facilitating the blending and stabilization of water and oil-based ingredients in formulations.
This versatile ingredient finds application in various skincare products such as creams, lotions, and hair care formulations.
Further, PEG-75 Lanolin improves texture, enhances moisturization, and ensures uniform distribution of other components.
Overall, PEG-75 is highly beneficial for both hair and skin.

PEG-75 Lanolin is produced by the reaction of lanolin with ethylene oxide, resulting in the attachment of polyethylene glycol chains to the lanolin molecule.
This process, known as ethoxylation, transforms the lanolin into a water-soluble compound.
The resulting PEG-75 Lanolin is then purified and used in cosmetic formulations.

PEG-75 is used to treat occasional constipation.
PEG-75 is in a class of medications called osmotic laxatives.
PEG-75 works by causing water to be retained with the stool.
This increases the number of bowel movements and softens the stool so PEG-75 is easier to pass.

PEG-8
PEG-8 is a low-molecular-weight grade of polyethylene glycol.
PEG-8 is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid.
Due in part to its low toxicity, PEG-8 is widely used in a variety of pharmaceutical formulations.

CAS: 25322-68-3
MF: N/A
EINECS: 500-038-2

PEG-8 is a family of linear polymers formed by a base-catalyzed condensation reaction with repeating ethylene oxide units being added to ethylene.
The molecular formula is (C2H4O)multH2O where mult denotes the average number of oxyethylene groups.
The molecular weight can range from 200 to several million corresponding to the number of oxyethylene groups.
The higher-molecular-weight materials (100 000 to 5 000 000) are also referred to as polyethylene oxides.
The average molecular weight of any specific PEG-8 falls within quite narrow limits (°5%).

The number of ethylene oxide units or their approximate molecular weight (e.g., PEG-4 or PEG-200) commonly designates the nomenclature of specific PEG-8.
PEG-8 with amolecular weight less than 600 are liquid, whereas those of molecular weight 1000 and above are solid.
These materials are nonvolatile, water-soluble, tasteless, and odorless.
They are miscible with water, alcohols, esters, ketones, aromatic solvents, and chlorinated hydrocarbons, but immiscible with alkanes, paraffins, waxes, and ethers.

Purification Methods
PEG-8 is available commercially as a powder or as a solution in various degrees of polymerization depending on the average molecular weight, e.g.
PEG-8 and PEG 800 have average molecular weights of 400 and 800, respectively.
They may be contaminated with aldehydes and peroxides.
Solutions deteriorate in the presence of air due to the formation of these contaminants.
Methods available for purification are as follows: Procedure A: A 40% aqueous solution of PEG 400 (2L, average molecular weight 400) is de-aerated under vacuum and made 10mM in sodium thiosulfate.

After standing for 1hour at 25o, the solution is passed through a column (2.5x20cm) of mixed-bed R-208 resin which has a 5cm layer of Dowex 50-H+ at the bottom of the column.
The column was previously flushed with 30% aqueous MeOH, then thoroughly with H2O.
A flow rate of 1mL/minute is maintained by adjusting the fluid head.
The first 200mL are discarded, and the effluent is then collected at an increased flow rate.
The concentration of PEG solution is checked by density measurement, and it is stored (preferably anaerobically) at 15o.

Procedure B: A solution of PEG 800 (500g in 805mL H2O) is made 1mM in H2SO4 and stirred overnight at 25o with 10g of treated Dowex 50-H+ (8% crosslinked, 20-50 mesh).
The resin, after settling, is filtered off on a sintered glass funnel.
The filtrate is treated at 25o with 1.5g of NaBH4 (added over a period of 1minute) in a beaker with tight but removable lid through which a propeller-type mechanical stirrer is inserted and continuously flushed with N2.

After 15minutes, 15g of fresh Dowex 50-H+ are added, and the rate of stirring is adjusted to maintain the resin suspended.
The addition of an equal quantity of Dowex 50-H+ is repeated and the reaction times are 30 and 40minutes.
The pH of a 1 to 10 dilution of the reaction mixture should remain above pH 8 throughout.
If PEG-8 does not, more NaBH4 is added or the addition of Dowex 50-H+ is curtailed.
(Some samples of PEG-8 can be sufficiently acidic, at least after the hydrolysis treatment, to produce a pH that is too low for efficient reduction when the above ratio of NaBH4 to Dowex 50-H+ is used.)

About 30 minutes after the last addition of NaBH4, small amounts of Dowex 50-H+ (~0.2g) are added at 15minute intervals until the pH of a 1 to 10 dilution of the solution is less than 8.
After stirring for an additional 15minutes the resin is allowed to settle, and the solution is transferred to a vacuum flask for brief de-gassing under a vacuum.
The de-gassed solution is passed through a column of mixed-bed resin as in procedure A.
The final PEG-8 concentration would be about 40% w/v.
Assays for aldehydes by the purpural method and of peroxides are given in the reference below.

Treatment of Dowex 50-H+ (8% crosslinked, 20-50 mesh): The Dowex (500g) is suspended in excess 2N NaOH, and 3mL of liquid Br2 is stirred into the solution.
After the Br2 has dissolved, the treatment is repeated twice, and then the resin is washed with 1N NaOH on a sintered glass funnel until the filtrate is colourless.
The resin is then converted to the acid form (with dilute HCl, H2SO4 or AcOH as required) and washed thoroughly with H2O and sucked dry on the funnel.
The treated resin can be converted to the Na salt and stored.

PENTANEDIOIC ACID (GLUTARIC ACID)

DESCRIPTION:
Glutaric acid is the organic compound with the formula C3H6(COOH)2.
Although the related "linear" dicarboxylic acids adipic and succinic acids are water-soluble only to a few percent at room temperature, the water-solubility of glutaric acid is over 50% (w/w).

CAS Number: 110-94-1
EC Number: 203-817-2

Glutaric acid appears as colorless crystals or white solid.
Glutaric acid is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is a linear five-carbon dicarboxylic acid.
Glutaric acid has a role as a human metabolite and a Daphnia magna metabolite.

Glutaric acid is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid and a dicarboxylic fatty acid.
Glutaric acid is a conjugate acid of a glutarate(1-) and a glutarate.
Glutaric acid is a metabolite found in or produced by Escherichia coli


Glutaric acid (Pentanedioic Acid) is a linear dicarboxylic acid.
Glutaric acid (Pentanedioic Acid) has been prepared by oxidizing cyclopentane, cyclopentanol and cyclopentanone.
Glutaric acid is a pentanedioic acid. On exposure to X-rays, glutaric acid crystals generate two stable free radicals.

These free radicals have been investigated by electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) technique.
Presence of glutaric acid in urine and plasma is an indicator of type I glutaric aciduria (GA-I).
Glutaric acid is formed as an intermediate during the catabolism of lysine in mammals.
Electron spin resonance spectra of radical (CO2H)CH2CH2CH(CO2H formed in glutaric acid crystal after γ-irradiation is reported to remains trapped in it.
Polymorphism of Glycine-glutaric acid co-crystals has been studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.


Glutaric acid, also known as 1,5-pentanedioate or pentanedioic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives.
These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups.
Glutaric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.

Glutaric acid is an odorless tasting compound.
Glutaric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as eddoes (Colocasia antiquorum), pitangas (Eugenia uniflora), narrowleaf cattails (Typha angustifolia), chicory leaves (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum), and wax apples (Eugenia javanica).
This could make glutaric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.

Glutaric acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis and irritable bowel syndrome; glutaric acid has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including glutaric aciduria I, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coa lyase deficiency, and short chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency.
Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Glutaric acid.










BIOCHEMISTRY OF PENTANEDIOIC ACID (GLUTARIC ACID):

Glutaric acid is naturally produced in the body during the metabolism of some amino acids, including lysine and tryptophan.
Defects in this metabolic pathway can lead to a disorder called glutaric aciduria, where toxic byproducts build up and can cause severe encephalopathy.

PRODUCTION OF PENTANEDIOIC ACID (GLUTARIC ACID):
Glutaric acid can be prepared by the ring-opening of butyrolactone with potassium cyanide to give the mixed potassium carboxylate-nitrile that is hydrolyzed to the diacid.
Alternatively hydrolysis, followed by oxidation of dihydropyran gives glutaric acid.
It can also be prepared from reacting 1,3-dibromopropane with sodium or potassium cyanide to obtain the dinitrile, followed by hydrolysis.

USES OF PENTANEDIOIC ACID (GLUTARIC ACID):
1,5-Pentanediol, a common plasticizer and precursor to polyesters is manufactured by hydrogenation of glutaric acid and its derivatives.
Glutaric acid itself has been used in the production of polymers such as polyester polyols, polyamides.
The odd number of carbon atoms (i.e. 5) is useful in decreasing polymer elasticity.
Pyrogallol can be produced from glutaric diester.


USES OF GLUTARIC ACID:
Glutaric acid is used as a precursor in organic synthesis.
For example, uvitonic acid is produced by the action of ammonia on glutaric acid.
Glutaric acid is also used in the preparation of its anhydride and esters.

Glutaric diester can be used for the production of pyrogallol.
Glutaric acid is also used in the manufacture of various polymers such as polyamides and polyesters.
Through the hydrogenation of glutaric acid and its derivatives, 1,5-Pentanediol is produced, which is a common plasticizer and precursor to polyesters.









APPLICATIONS OF PENTANEDIOIC ACID (GLUTARIC ACID):
Glutaric acid may be employed as starting reagent in the synthesis of glutaric anhydride.
Glutaric acid may be used for the following studies:
Complexation with DL-lysine.
Complexes have been reported to possess zwitterionic lysinium ions (positively charged) and semi-glutarate ions (negatively charged).

Synthesis of complexes with L-arginine and L-histidine.
Preparation of glycine-glutaric acid co-crystals.
Phase transition studies of these cocrystals have been reported by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, polarized Raman spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry.


Glutaric acid is used as the raw material for organic synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediate and synthetic resin.
Glutaric acid serves as a precursor in the production of polyester polyols, polyamides, ester plasticizers and corrosion inhibitors.
Glutaric acid is useful to decrease polymer elasticity and in the synthesis surfactants and metal finishing compounds.

PEPTIDASES
Peptidases are also involved in various cellular processes, such as the regulation of protein activity, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
Peptidases are classified into different types based on their catalytic mechanisms.
Peptidases produced by submerged fermentation of a selected strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

CAS Number: 37259-58-8
EC Number: 253-431-3

Synonyms: Serine proteinase, 37259-58-8, Serine endopeptidase, Serine esterase, Serine peptidase, Serine protease, Seryl protease, Tryase, Proteinase, serine, Caldolase, Cerastobin, Clp proteinase, EINECS 253-431-3, alpha-Fibrinogenase, Maxacal, Porzyme 6, Proteinase T, Serine Proteases

Peptidases can be found in all forms of life and viruses.
They have independently evolved multiple times, and different classes of Peptidases can perform the same reaction by completely different catalytic mechanisms.

Peptidases were first grouped into 84 families according to their evolutionary relationship in 1993, and classified under four catalytic types: serine, cysteine, aspartic, and metalloPeptidases.
A Peptidases is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins.

These enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion of proteins in organisms, breaking them down into smaller peptides or individual amino acids.
The major classes include serine Peptidases, cysteine Peptidases, aspartic Peptidases, metalloPeptidases, and threonine Peptidases.

Each class of Peptidases has distinct properties and is involved in specific biological processes.
Secretion of Peptidases by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens can be inhibited by treatment with the fatty acid synthetase inhibitor cerulenin.

A Peptidases (also called a peptidase, proteinase, or proteolytic enzyme) is an enzyme that catalyzes proteolysis, breaking down proteins into smaller polypeptides or single amino acids, and spurring the formation of new protein products.
They do this by cleaving the peptide bonds within proteins by hydrolysis, a reaction where water breaks bonds.

Peptidases are involved in numerous biological pathways, including digestion of ingested proteins, protein catabolism (breakdown of old proteins), and cell signaling.
In the absence of functional accelerants, proteolysis would be very slow, taking hundreds of years.

The threonine and glutamic Peptidases were not described until 1995 and 2004 respectively.
The mechanism used to cleave a peptide bond involves making an amino acid residue that has the cysteine and threonine (Peptidases) or a water molecule (aspartic, glutamic and metalloPeptidases) nucleophilic so that Peptidases can attack the peptide carbonyl group.

One way to make a nucleophile is by a catalytic triad, where a histidine residue is used to activate serine, cysteine, or threonine as a nucleophile.
This is not an evolutionary grouping, however, as the nucleophile types have evolved convergently in different superfamilies, and some superfamilies show divergent evolution to multiple different nucleophiles.

MetalloPeptidases, aspartic, and glutamic Peptidases utilize their active site residues to activate a water molecule, which then attacks the scissile bond.
Peptidases can be highly promiscuous such that a wide range of protein substrates are hydrolyzed.

This is the case for digestive enzymes such as trypsin, which have to be able to cleave the array of proteins ingested into smaller peptide fragments.
Promiscuous Peptidases typically bind to a single amino acid on the substrate and so only have specificity for that residue.
For example, trypsin is specific for the sequences.

Conversely some Peptidases are highly specific and only cleave substrates with a certain sequence.
Blood clotting (such as thrombin) and viral polyprotein processing (such as TEV Peptidases) requires this level of specificity in order to achieve precise cleavage events.

Peptidases are enzymes that break down protein.
These enzymes are made by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Peptidases break down proteins in the body or on the skin.
This might help with digestion or with the breakdown of proteins involved in swelling and pain.

Some Peptidases that may be found in supplements include bromelain, chymotrypsin, ficin, papain, serrapeptase, and trypsin.
Peptidases, as also called Protease or proteinases, are enzymes that perform proteolysis.

Peptidases is one of the most important biological reactions.
Peptidases activity has been attributed to a class of enzymes called Peptidases.

These enzymes are of wide distribution, and they perform significant biological processes.
Peptidases have evolved to perform these reactions by numerous different mechanisms and different classes of Peptidases can perform the same reaction by completely different catalytic mechanisms.

Peptidases are found in animals, plants, bacteria, archaea, and viruses.
Peptidases are involved in protein processing, regulation of protein function, apoptosis, viral pathogenesis, digestion, photosynthesis, and numerous other vital processes.

Peptidases mechanism of action classifies them as either serine, cysteine or threonine Peptidases (amino-terminal nucleophile hydrolases), or as aspartic, metallo and glutamic Peptidases (with glutamic Peptidases being the only subtype not found in mammals so far).
Peptidases of peptide bonds is recognized as an essential and ubiquitous mechanism for the regulation of a myriad of physiological processes.

Four main classes of proteolytic enzymes have been routinely utilized to describe Peptidases.
The serine Peptidases are probably the best characterized.

This class of Peptidases includes trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase.
The cysteine Peptidases class includes papain, calpain and lysosomal cathepsins.

Aspartic Peptidases include pepsin and rennin.
Metallo-Peptidases include thermolysin and carboxypeptidase A.

Peptidases are enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins.
Peptidases serves as the nucleophilic amino acid at the (enzyme's) active site.

They are found ubiquitously in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Peptidases fall into two broad categories based on their structure: chymotrypsin-like (trypsin-like) or subtilisin-like.

Peptidases is a general term for a class of enzymes that hydrolyze protein peptide bonds.
According to the manner in which the polypeptide is hydrolyzed, Peptidases can be divided into two types, an endopeptidase and an exopeptidase.

The endopeptidase cleaves the inside of the protein molecule to form a small molecular peptide.
The exopeptidase hydrolyzes the peptide bond one by one from the terminal of the free amino group or carboxyl group of the protein molecule, and the amino acid is released, the former being an aminopeptidase and the latter being a carboxypeptidase.

Peptidases can be further divided into serine Peptidases, thiol Peptidases, metallo proteinase and aspartic Peptidases according to its active center.
According to the optimum pH value of the reaction, Peptidases is divided into acid Peptidases, neutral Peptidases and alkaline Peptidases.

Peptidases is used in industrial production, mainly endopeptidase.
Peptidases are widely found in animal viscera, plant stems, leaves, fruits and microorganisms. Microbial Peptidases are mainly produced by molds and bacteria, followed by yeasts and actinomycetes.

Peptidases have many types, and important ones are pepsin, trypsin, cathepsin, papain, and subtilisin.
Peptidases has strict selectivity for the reaction substrate to be applied.

Peptidases can only act on certain peptide bonds in the protein molecules, such as peptide bonds formed by trypsin catalyzed hydrolysis of basic amino acids.
Peptidases is a widely distributed protein, and is especially abundant in the digestive tract of humans and animals.

Due to the limited resources of animals and plants, the industrial production of Peptidases preparations is mainly prepared by fermentation of microorganisms such as Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus oryzae.
Peptidases are a class of proteins that break down other proteins.

They are also called proteolytic enzymes.
Peptidases are classified by the amino acids or ligands that catalyze the hydrolysis reaction.
For example, Peptidases contain a serine in the active site.

The Peptidases is helped by a neighboring histidine and aspartic acid.
This combination is called the catalytic triad, and is conserved in all serine Peptidases.

Peptidases work in a two step fashion; first, they form a covalent bond with the protein to be cleaved; in the second step, water comes in and releases the second half of the cleaved protein.
Peptidases use cysteine as a nucleophile just like serine Peptidases use serine as a nucleophile.
Peptidases include a number of digestive enzymes, including Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Elastase.

While they all contain the same three amino acids that work together to catalyze the reaction, called the catalytic triad, they differ in where they cleave proteins.
This specificity is due to a binding pocket that contains different functional groups.

Chymotrypsin prefers a large hydrophobic residue; Peptidases pocket is large and contains hydrophobic residues.
In this representation of the binding pocket, the hydrophobic phenylalanine of the substrate is shown in green, and the hydrophobicity of the surrounding amino acids is shown by grey (hydrophobic) or purple (hydrophilic) balls.

Peptidases is specific for positively charged residues like lysine, and contains a negative amino acid, aspartic acid, at the bottom of the pocket.
Peptidases prefers a small neutral residue; Peptidases has a very small pocket.

Peptidases include enzymes that have a role in regulating cellular processes such as caspases and deubiquitinase.
Caspases hydrolyze proteins during apoptosis.
Peptidases play a role in regulating protein degradation, e.g. Cdu1 from Chlamydia.

Another class of Peptidases is aspartate Peptidases.
This family includes HIV Peptidases.

HIV produces Peptidases proteins as one long chain; HIV Peptidases cleaves the long protein into functional units.
Because Peptidases cleaves long proteins, Peptidases has a tunnel to accommodate the long peptide substrate, and the top "flaps" of the protein can open and closeto allow the substrate in and products out.

Aspartate Peptidases include two aspartate residues in the active site, which increase the reactivity of an active site water molecule to directly cleave the substrate protein.
A third class of Peptidases are metalloPeptidases such as carboxypeptidase.

CarboxyProtease remove the C terminal amino acids from proteins.
The active site contains zinc , which is bound to the protein through interactions with histidine (H), serine (S) aspartic acid (E) residues.

Proteolytic enzymes (Peptidases) are enzymes your pancreas makes to break down protein from diet into amino acids, which are used for growth and tissue repair.
These enzymes may also reduce inflammation and support immune function, though more research is needed.

Peptidases (also called Proteolytic Enzymes, Protease, or Proteinases) are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bonds within proteins or peptides.
Most Peptidases act in a specific manner, hydrolyzing bonds at or adjacent to specific residues or a specific sequence of residues contained within the substrate protein or peptide.

Peptidases play an important role in most diseases and biological processes including prenatal and postnatal development, reproduction, signal transduction, the immune response, various autoimmune and degenerative diseases, and cancer.
They are also an important research tool, frequently used in the analysis and production of proteins.

Peptidases have been called biology’s version of Swiss army knives, able to cut long sequences of proteins into fragments.
A Peptidases is an enzyme that breaks the long, chainlike molecules of proteins so they can be digested.

This process is called proteolysis, and Peptidases turns protein molecules into shorter fragments, called peptides, and eventually into their components, called amino acids.
Proteins start as a tough, complex, folded structure, and they can only be broken down or disassembled with Peptidases enzymes.

The process of digesting proteins starts in the stomach, where hydrochloric acid unfolds the proteins and the enzyme pepsin begins to disassemble them.
The pancreas releases Peptidases enzymes (primarily trypsin), and in the intestines, they break protein chains apart into smaller pieces.
Then enzymes on the surface and inside of intestinal cells break the pieces down even further, so they become amino acids that are ready for use throughout the body.

When these Peptidases enzymes aren’t present in the body to break down protein molecules, the intestinal lining would not be able to digest them, which can lead to some serious health issues.
Peptidases are produced by the pancreas, and they are also found in some fruits, bacteria and other microbes.

The digestive tract produces three different forms of Peptidases in digestive tracts: trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and procarboxypeptidase.
These three Peptidases attack different peptide linkages to allow for the generation of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.

Peptidases enzymes are often classified based on their origins.
Some Peptidases are produced in bodies, some come from plants and others have a microbial origin.

Different types of Peptidases have different biological processes and mechanisms.
Peptidases are enzymes that specialize in the cleavage of peptide bonds.

Their activities may be relatively indiscriminate, breaking polypeptides down to their basic elements, or exquisitely precise, cleaving a substrate at a specific residue to alter protein activity.
These illustrations highlight scientific concepts that rely on proteolytic activity and emphasize the importance of Peptidases in some of the most studied areas of cell biology.

These enzymes contain a serine residue in their active site and play crucial roles in digestion (e.g., trypsin, chymotrypsin) and blood clotting (e.g., thrombin).
Enzymes with a cysteine residue in their active site, involved in various cellular processes, including apoptosis. Examples include caspases.

These enzymes use an aspartate residue in their active site and are involved in digestion (e.g., pepsin) and some viral processing.
Metal ions, typically zinc, are essential for the catalytic activity of these enzymes.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are an example, involved in tissue remodeling and wound healing.

These Peptidases have a threonine residue in their active site and are found in certain microorganisms.
In the digestive system, Peptidases break down dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, facilitating their absorption in the small intestine.

Peptidases is a kind of enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein, which is the earliest and the most in-depth enzyme in the study of Enzymology.
Microbial Peptidases source is wide, Cell Nutrition requirement is low, easy to culture, compared with animal and plant source Peptidases, Peptidases is easier to realize large-scale production.

Early research on microbial Peptidases, more concentrated in the breeding of natural high-yield strains, optimization of fermentation conditions and downstream processing technology, the overall research level is not high, did not really take into account, various aspects of large-scale production technology.
Until the 70 s of the 20th century, after the establishment of recombinant DNA technology, the research in the field of Peptidases molecular biology was carried out, and the sequence analysis, cloning and expression of Peptidases genes were realized, which made the large-scale production possible.

A seventh catalytic type of proteolytic enzymes, asparagine peptide lyase, was described in 2011.
Peptidases proteolytic mechanism is unusual since, rather than hydrolysis, Peptidases performs an elimination reaction.
During this reaction, the catalytic asparagine forms a cyclic chemical structure that cleaves itself at asparagine residues in proteins under the right conditions.

Given Peptidases fundamentally different mechanism, its inclusion as a peptidase may be debatable.
An up-to-date classification of Peptidases evolutionary superfamilies is found in the MEROPS database.
In this database, Peptidases are classified firstly by 'clan' (superfamily) based on structure, mechanism and catalytic residue order (e.g. the PA clan where P indicates a mixture of nucleophile families).

Within each 'clan', Peptidases are classified into families based on sequence similarity (e.g. the S1 and C3 families within the PA clan).
Each family may contain many hundreds of related Peptidases (e.g. trypsin, elastase, thrombin and streptogrisin within the S1 family).

Peptidases, being themselves proteins, are cleaved by other Peptidases molecules, sometimes of the same variety.
This acts as a method of regulation of Peptidases activity.

Some Peptidases are less active after autolysis (e.g. TEV Peptidases) whilst others are more active (e.g. trypsinogen).
In the human digestive system, Peptidases like pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin break down dietary proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids, facilitating their absorption in the small intestine.

Peptidases are commonly used in laundry detergents and cleaning products for their ability to break down protein-based stains.

Peptidases occur in all organisms, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes to virus.
These enzymes are involved in a multitude of physiological reactions from simple digestion of food proteins to highly regulated cascades (e.g., the blood-clotting cascade, the complement system, apoptosis pathways, and the invertebrate prophenoloxidase-activating cascade).

Peptidases can either break specific peptide bonds (limited proteolysis), depending on the amino acid sequence of a protein, or completely break down a peptide to amino acids (unlimited proteolysis).
The activity can be a destructive change (abolishing a protein's function or digesting Peptidases to its principal components), Peptidases can be an activation of a function, or Peptidases can be a signal in a signalling pathway.

Peptidases are used throughout an organism for various metabolic processes.
Acid Peptidases secreted into the stomach (such as pepsin) and serine Peptidases present in the duodenum (trypsin and chymotrypsin) enable us to digest the protein in food.

Peptidases present in blood serum (thrombin, plasmin, Hageman factor, etc.) play an important role in blood-clotting, as well as lysis of the clots, and the correct action of the immune system.
Other Peptidases are present in leukocytes (elastase, cathepsin G) and play several different roles in metabolic control.

Some snake venoms are also Peptidases, such as pit viper haemotoxin and interfere with the victim's blood clotting cascade.
Peptidases determine the lifetime of other proteins playing important physiological roles like hormones, antibodies, or other enzymes.

This is one of the fastest "switching on" and "switching off" regulatory mechanisms in the physiology of an organism.
Bacteria secrete Peptidases to hydrolyse the peptide bonds in proteins and therefore break the proteins down into their constituent amino acids.

Bacterial and fungal Peptidases are particularly important to the global carbon and nitrogen cycles in the recycling of proteins, and such activity tends to be regulated by nutritional signals in these organisms.
The net impact of nutritional regulation of Peptidases activity among the thousands of species present in soil can be observed at the overall microbial community level as proteins are broken down in response to carbon, nitrogen, or sulfur limitation.

The genomes of some viruses encode one massive polyprotein, which needs a Peptidases to cleave this into functional units (e.g. the hepatitis C virus and the picornaviruses).
These Peptidases (e.g. TEV Peptidases) have high specificity and only cleave a very restricted set of substrate sequences.

They are therefore a common target for Peptidases inhibitors.
Cells often produce Peptidases inhibitors to regulate the activity of Peptidases.

These inhibitors bind to Peptidases and prevent them from catalyzing the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.
This regulation is crucial for maintaining a balance in cellular processes.

Altered activity of Peptidases is associated with cancer progression.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), for example, are implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis.

Peptidases, such as proteasomes, are involved in the clearance of misfolded proteins.

One example of Peptidases inhibitors is the serpin superfamily.
Peptidases includes alpha 1-antitrypsin (which protects the body from excessive effects of Peptidases own inflammatory Peptidases), alpha 1-antichymotrypsin (which does likewise), C1-inhibitor (which protects the body from excessive Peptidases-triggered activation of Peptidases own complement system), antithrombin (which protects the body from excessive coagulation), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (which protects the body from inadequate coagulation by blocking Peptidases-triggered fibrinolysis), and neuroserpin.

Natural Peptidases inhibitors include the family of lipocalin proteins, which play a role in cell regulation and differentiation.
Lipophilic ligands, attached to lipocalin proteins, have been found to possess tumor Peptidases inhibiting properties.

The natural Peptidases inhibitors are not to be confused with the Peptidases inhibitors used in antiretroviral therapy.
Some viruses, with HIV/AIDS among them, depend on Peptidases in their reproductive cycle.

Thus, Peptidases inhibitors are developed as antiviral therapeutic agents.
Other natural Peptidases inhibitors are used as defense mechanisms.

Common examples are the trypsin inhibitors found in the seeds of some plants, most notable for humans being soybeans, a major food crop, where they act to discourage predators.
Raw soybeans are toxic to many animals, including humans, until the Peptidases inhibitors they contain have been denatured.

Proteolytic enzymes are essential for many important processes in your body.
They’re also called Protease or proteinases.

In the human body, they are produced by the pancreas and stomach.
While proteolytic enzymes are most commonly known for their role in the digestion of dietary protein, they perform many other critical jobs as well.
For example, they are essential for cell division, blood clotting, immune function and protein recycling, among other vital processes (1Trusted Source).

Like humans, plants also depend on proteolytic enzymes throughout their life cycles.
Not only are these enzymes necessary for the proper growth and development of plants, they also help keep them healthy by acting as a defense mechanism against pests like insects.

Interestingly, people can benefit from ingesting plant-derived proteolytic enzymes.
As a result, proteolytic enzyme supplements may contain both animal- and plant-derived enzymes.

Classification of Peptidases:
Peptidases are divided into two categories: exoPeptidase and endopeptidases.
ExoPeptidase only act on the C- terminal or N-terminal peptide bonds of the substrate, endopeptidase can only hydrolyze the peptide bonds inside the macromolecular protein and is a true Peptidases.

There have been a variety of methods of classification of Peptidases, but they are not perfect, some to the active center, or to the mode of action, but also to the optimal pH value, academic to the active center to point.

Peptidases can be divided into four classes according to the active center:
(1) serine Peptidases
(2) aspartic Peptidases
(3) cysteine Peptidases
(4) metalloPeptidases.

Serine Peptidases enzymes are widely found in animal pancreas, bacteria, mold, the active center contains serine residues, enzyme activity can be, diisopropylphosphoryl fluoride (DFP), benzene methyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and potato inhibitors (PI) and other specific inhibition.
The optimum pH of the enzyme is alkaline Peptidases at 9.5~10.5, but some serine Peptidases are neutral Peptidases, and some enzymes also contain cysteine residues due to the active center, Peptidases can be inhibited by the thiol reagent to the chlorine Mercury benzoic acid (PCMB).

The specificity for the substrate is similar to that for chyme trypsin.
Metalloproteinases this kind of Peptidases is mainly neutral Peptidases, the optimum pH is 7~8, most of the active center contains Zn2 and other divalent metals, can be subject to metal chelating agent EDTA or phenanthroline (O-Phenanthroline,OP) the inhibition of such Peptidases is less stable, limited use, and less important than alkaline and acid Peptidases.

Metalloproteinases also include the alkaline Peptidases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, snake venom and collagenase.
Microbial Metallo-neutral Peptidases, such as bacterial and fungal neutral Peptidases, can cleave amino-terminal peptide bonds composed of hydrophobic or other amino acid residues.
Aspartic acid Peptidases pepsin, fungal acid Peptidases is the active center containing aspartic acid acid Peptidases, the optimum pH of this kind of enzyme is 2.0~5.0, in acidic stability, rapid inactivation of the enzyme at pH above 6, PI 3-4.5, diazoacetyl-N-leucine methyl ester (DAN) and 1, 2-epoxy-3-(p-nitrophenyl) propane (EPNP), is an obligate inhibitor of this kind of enzyme, the molecular weight of the enzyme 30~45 kDa.

Cysteine Peptidases this kind of enzyme is also called thiol Peptidases, known that this kind of enzyme has about 20 families, widely exists in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, Peptidases active center contains a pair of amino acids that is Cys-His, different groups of enzymes before and after Cys and His in different order.
Typically, such enzymes require the presence of a reducing agent, such as HCN or cysteine, to be active.

Specificity of Peptidases:
The specificity of the Peptidases is expressed in the selectivity of the substrate peptide bond, Peptidases is not only affected by amino acid residues on one or both sides of the peptide bond at the cleavage point, but also sometimes affected by several amino acid residue units separated from the point of action, and also affected by the length of the peptide bond.
The study of the specificity of Peptidases is usually carried out with synthetic substrates of known sequence, for the above reasons, often inconsistent with the hydrolysis of natural proteins.

Production of Peptidases:
Peptidases is widely used, which not only simplifies the production process of relevant industries, but also saves investment, Peptidases reduces the consumption of raw materials, improves the yield and quality of products, and makes a positive contribution to improving environmental protection and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
The factors affecting the production of microbial Peptidases is very complex, the same microorganism because of different culture conditions, can produce a variety of Peptidases, most of the bacillus is aerobic non-toxin and non-pathogenic, easy to culture.
Microbial Peptidases enzyme composition is very complex, the same enzyme electrophoresis, chromatography and other separation techniques, but also can separate a number of molecular weight, amino acid composition, optimum pH, temperature and isoelectric point of different composition, the similarities and differences in the amino acid sequence and conformation of the enzyme can also be seen by the immunological antigen antibody reaction.

Safety Profile of Peptidases:
Peptidases can be irritating to the skin and eyes, particularly at higher concentrations.
Direct contact with Peptidases-containing solutions may lead to redness, itching, or irritation.

HOW TO PRESERVE AND USE PERACETIC ACID:
The concentration of Peracetic Acid can easily decrease when allowed to evaporate in the air.
Therefore, we only dilute Peracetic Acid when used in sufficient doses.
Peracetic Acid must be stored in a cool place, away from direct sunlight.

Do not use Peracetic Acid at temperatures higher than 50ºC.

Peracetic Acid at high concentrations can be stored for reuse, however, provided that they are not too dirty and additional proxitane chemicals must be added to ensure concentration.
Because Peracetic Acid at high concentrations has a very strong odor, when using, mixing solutions, transporting.



PRODUCTION OF PERACETIC ACID:
Peracetic acid is produced industrially by the autoxidation of acetaldehyde:
O2 + CH3CHO → CH3CO3H
In the presence of a strong acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide produce Peracetic Acid:

H2O2 + CH3CO2H ⇌ CH3CO3H + H2O
However, in concentrations (3-6%) of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide marketed for household use, mixing without a strong acid catalyst will not form Peracetic Acid.
As an alternative, acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride can be used to generate a solution of the acid with lower water content.

Peracetic Acid is generated in situ by some laundry detergents.
This is achieved by the action of bleach activators, such as tetraacetylethylenediamine and sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate, upon hydrogen peroxide formed from sodium percarbonate in water.
The Peracetic Acid is a more effective bleaching agent than hydrogen peroxide itself.

Peracetic Acid is also formed naturally in the environment through a series of photochemical reactions involving formaldehyde and photo-oxidant radicals.
Peracetic Acid is always sold in solution as a mixture with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to maintain its stability.
The concentration of Peracetic Acid as the active ingredient can vary.



EPOXIDATION, PERACETIC ACID:
Although less active than more acidic peracids (e.g., m-CPBA), Peracetic Acid in various forms is used for the epoxidation of various alkenes (Prilezhaev reaction).
Useful applications are for unsaturated fats, synthetic and natural rubbers, and some natural products such as pinene.

A variety of factors affect the amount of free acid or sulfuric acid (used to prepare the peracid in the first place).
Peracetic Acid is a highly effective biocide and oxidizing agent, rapidly destroys microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses and kills pathogens.

While it is extremely performant, Peracetic Acid is chlorine free and breaks down quickly into naturally occurring substances (water, oxygen and carbon dioxide) ౼ making it a sustainable, environmentally friendly choice.
For these reasons, Peracetic Acid is the ideal disinfectant across a number of different industries, namely medical, food and drink, animal biosecurity and industrial laundry.

Peracetic Acid is an acid with an oxidising capacity, which makes it very effective as a biocide.


This is why Peracetic Acid is commonly used in food factories.
Peracetic Acid is used to keep aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and their spores at bay, against yeasts and moulds and also against various viruses.
Peracetic acid is used at different levels as a disinfectant.


To begin with, Peracetic Acid is used to disinfect tanks, pipes or mixers through which food passes.
Peracetic Acid is also present in the packaging process, to sanitize containers and sealing systems where food is stored for its later distribution.
Food must go through its own disinfection process before being prepared for sale.


The vegetables are washed in water to reduce the microbial load.
Peracetic acid should be added to this liquid during some time, replacing chlorine.
The reason for the change is that in small amounts Peracetic Acid is safe and more effective as a biocide.


In addition, peracetic acid improves the food preservation properties.
As we mentioned, the main use of peracetic acid is in the food industry, but it is also used in other sectors.
This is the case of agriculture, livestock or health, where Peracetic Acid2s disinfectant powers are also highly valued.


Peracetic acid is primarily used as an anti-microbial biocide.
As a biocide Peracetic Acid may be used as a disinfectant in processing lines found in brewing and wineries, agricultural sites and food processing, particularly cheese and dairy production.


Peracetic acid is highly suited to clean-in-place style systems as it naturally decomposes to carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen.
Peracetic Acid is deemed safe enough to be returned to the water course, such as in the dosing of cooling tower water in power stations.
Peracetic Acid is sometimes used as a flush chemical following a prior treatment of caustic solution as it does not leave residue and will not oxidize stainless steel pipework.


The anti-microbial properties are also used to prevent the build up of bio-film.
This is a sludge-like layer which forms in areas of moisture and warmth as an environment for microbes/bacteria to thrive.
Examples may include paper pulp mixes and membrane filters in filtration processes.


Peracetic acid has also previously been used during the manufacture of chemical intermediates for pharmaceuticals.
Peracetic Acid is an exceptional broad-spectrum biocide and can be used in many industrial fields.
Peracetic Acid in low concentrations is effective against all types of microorganisms, even at low temperatures.


As a result, Peracetic Acid stands for safe and environmentally friendly disinfection.
After use, the peracetic acid breaks down into the ecologically harmless products oxygen, water and vinegar.
Peracetic Acid is used as an extremely strong and effective oxidizing agent in a wide range of applications.


Peracetic Acid reliably and permanently kills pathogens, bleaches, cleans and disinfects.
Despite its high efficacy, Peracetic Acid is a sustainable chemical.
Given all these advantages, peracetic acid is used in many sectors of industry for disinfection and sterilization purposes and also as a bleaching agent.


The spectrum of applications ranges from the food industry to environmental applications, such as wastewater treatment and soil remediation.
Peracetic Acid is used as a sustainable biocide for aseptic packaging of food and beverages, in cosmetics and for hair bleaching, for environmentally friendly water and wastewater treatment, for sustainable aquaculture solutions, for disinfection in agriculture, for chemical synthesis, for sterilization in hospital hygiene or for cleaning and disinfection of laundry and textiles.


The different concentrations of Peracetic Acid are used in chemical synthesis, bleaching, sanitization, disinfection, hygiene and sterilization across a variety of industries, including food and beverage such as fruit and vegetable processing, poultry processing, environmental remediation, industrial cleaning and sanitization, and oil and gas production.


Peracetic Acid is recommended for all types of endoscopes (bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, duodenoscopes, naso-laryngo-pharyngoscopes, laparoscopes, etc.), surgical instruments, anesthetic and heat- sensitive medical devices.
Peracetic Acid does not fix proteins, eliminates biofilm and is effective even in the presence of organic materials.
Formulated with very effective corrosion inhibitors, Peracetic Acid is safe for most common endoscope materials.


Peracetic Acid is a liquid that functions as a strong oxidizing agent.
Peracetic Acid has an acrid odor and is used as a disinfectant.
Peracetic Acid is used as a bactericide and fungicide, especially in food processing; as a reagent in making caprolactam and glycerol; as an oxidant for preparing epoxy compounds; as a bleaching agent; a sterilizing agent; and as a polymerization catalyst for polyester resins.


-Food & Beverage Packaging:
Peracetic Acid is often applied directly to fresh fruits and vegetables to kill pathogens.
Peracetic Acid is also in aseptic manufacturing processes, since aseptic packaging greatly extends the shelf life of common food and beverages.


-Healthcare:
Hospitals rely on Peracetic Acid to high-level disinfect medical instruments needed in patient care as well as treat hard surfaces in patient rooms.
While the concentration in the Peracetic Acid solutions used for room sanitation is lower than for high-level disinfection, both applications can result in occupational exposure to PAA vapor.


-Protein Processing:
Peracetic Acid is used in poultry and meat processing.
Peracetic Acid is distributed to various areas of the processing plant to kill harmful bacteria such as listeria and salmonella directly on the meat and on surfaces to meet USDA food safety guidelines.
Peracetic acid 5% is a terminal disinfectant and provided that items are well drained after treatment, solutions do not be rinsed off.
Peracetic Acid decomposes to acetic acid and oxygen, neither of which in such small quantities will have any adverse effects.


-Applications of Peracetic Acid:
*Wineries, breweries and beverage plants.
*Meat, egg and poultry processing and packaging equipment surfaces.
*Food (particularly sugar) and pharmaceutical processing and packaging plants.

PERACETIC ACID AFFECTIVITY:
Peracetic acid can be applied for the deactivation of a large variety of pathogenic microorganisms.
Peracetic Acid also deactivates viruses and spores.
Peracetic acid activity is hardly influenced by organic compounds that are present in the water.
However, pH and temperature do influence peractetic acid activity.
Peracetic acid is more effective when the pH value is 7 than at a pH range between 8 and 9.
At a temperature of 15 °C and a pH value of 7, five times more peracetic acid is required to affectively deactivate pathogens than at a pH value of 7 and a temperature of 35 °C.



RATES OF USE OF PERACETIC ACID:
*Small items can be left to soak overnight in a steeping tank using Peracetic Acid 5% diluted, 3-10mls Peracetic Acid per litre of water.
*Beer mains and hoses may be filled after cleaning with a diluted solution of PAA, 3-5mls Peracetic Acid per litre of water and left for several hours before draining off.
*Large vessels and plant are best treated by spray-ball using a dilute solution of PAA, 10-20ml in a litre of water.
Alternatively a fog gun may be used but particular attention must be paid to safety precautions if a fog spray is used, to avoid eye or skin contact or inhalation.



HOW DOES PERACETIC ACID WORK?
Peracetic Acid is a two-carbon organic acid that contains lots of oxygen ready for release in the presence of bacteria.
The mode of action is oxidation of bacteria cells.
The cell walls are quickly destroyed resulting in annihilation of biofilm and bacteria colonies.
Unlike hops acid which is only effective against Gram (+) bacteria, Peracetic Acid is effective at killing both Gram (+) (e.g., lactobacillus) and Gram (-) (e.g., acetobacter) bacteria.
Because Peracetic Acid is a heavy, stable liquid that is very soluble in water, it is many times more effective than conventional oxidizers like bleach, peroxide, and chlorine dioxide.
Unlike SO2 and ammonium bisulfite, the byproducts of Peracetic Acid will not become a food source for bacteria.



PRODUCTION OF PERACETIC ACID:
Peracetic acid is produced industrially by the autoxidation of acetaldehyde:
O2 + CH3CHO → CH3CO3H
In the presence of a strong acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide produce peracetic acid:

H2O2 + CH3CO2H ⇌ CH3CO3H + H2O
However, in concentrations (3-6%) of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide marketed for household use, mixing without a strong acid catalyst will not form peracetic acid.
As an alternative, acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride can be used to generate a solution of the acid with lower water content.

Peracetic acid is generated in situ by some laundry detergents.
This is achieved by the action of bleach activators, such as tetraacetylethylenediamine and sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate, upon hydrogen peroxide formed from sodium percarbonate in water.
Peracetic Acid is a more effective bleaching agent than hydrogen peroxide itself.
Peracetic Acid is also formed naturally in the environment through a series of photochemical reactions involving formaldehyde and photo-oxidant radicals.

Peracetic acid is always sold in solution as a mixture of acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to maintain its stability.
The concentration of Peracetic Acid as the active ingredient can vary.



HOW DOES PERACETIC ACID DISINFECTION WORK?
Peracetic acid as a disinfectant oxidizes the outer cell membranes of microorganisms.
The oxidation mechanism consists of electron transfer.
When a stronger oxidant is used, the electrons are transferred to the microorganism much faster, causing the microorganism to be deactivated rapidly.



WHY IS PERACETIC ACID SUSTAINABLE?
Peracetic acid offers many sustainability benefits.
First, Peracetic Acid decomposes into environmentally compatible substances such as water, oxygen and vinegar after use, and toxic byproducts are not generated.
Peracetic Acid's wide range of applications and potency, even at low dosages, also make this biocide particularly resource-efficient.

Peracetic Acid treats and purifies municipal wastewater in an environmentally compatible way, while it disinfects reliably and is effective even in small quantities.
Peracetic Acid has a broad range of antimicrobial effects and is therefore highly efficient at surface treatment in the food industry, as well as in the medical and industrial sectors.

Peracetic Acid reduces contamination with pathogenic bacteria such as salmonella, campylobacter and E.coli when food is being handled.
Peracetic acid reduces bacterial contamination that can cause product spoilage.
Peracetic Acid disinfects animal hygiene surfaces and equipment and therefore prevents animals catching diseases.

Peracetic Acid reliably kills bacteria and germs inside plastic bottles without leaving residues.
The quality of beverages is not affected, consumers get a safe, long-lasting product.
Peracetic Acid works extremely effectively in a variety of environments while meeting the bleaching and disinfection requirements of industrial, institutional and private consumers and laundries.



HOW IS PERACETIC ACID PRODUCED?
Peracetic acid is produced from the raw materials, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid.
In a so-called autoxidation process, the hydrogen peroxide is first produced from hydrogen and oxygen.
This happens in three steps: first, hydrogen is added to a working solution and combines with this reaction medium.
The second step involves atmospheric oxygen being pumped into the working solution under pressure, producing hydrogen peroxide.
This is then extracted with the addition of water.
The hydrogen peroxide is then mixed with acetic acid and additional additives and treated further.



BENEFITS OF PERACETIC ACID:
Peracetic acid is regularly used in a variety of industries due to its many benefits.
Peracetic acid is a strong oxidizing agent with excellent disinfectant and bleaching properties.
Peracetic Acid's action is based on synglet oxygen, that is released during chemical breakdown.
Products of the breakdown are acetic acid, water, and oxygen.

Peracetic acid is effective even at very low concentrations.
Peracetic Acid does not foam, it does not function selectively, and resistance in many cases are not observed.
Peracetic Acid can be mixed with water in all proportions and rinses free of residue.

The efficiency of Peracetic Acid has been demonstrated in tests on selected micro-organisms.
Peracetic Acid's use is based on the working of active oxygen, that is released upon the reaction of decomposition of peraceticacid, which oxidizes organic and inorganic compounds.
The market products are stabilized aqueous solutions of the concentrations up to 15 % peracetic acid.



EPOXIDATION OF PERACETIC ACID:
Although less active than more acidic peracids (e.g., m-CPBA), peracetic acid in various forms is used for the epoxidation of various alkenes (Prilezhaev reaction).
Useful applications of Peracetic Acid are for unsaturated fats, synthetic and natural rubbers, and some natural products such as pinene.
A variety of factors affect the amount of free acid or sulfuric acid (used to prepare the peracid in the first place).

Infobox references Peracetic acid 15 (also known as peroxyacetic acid, or PAA), is an organic compound with the formula CH3CO3H. This organic peroxide is a colorless liquid with a characteristic acrid odor reminiscent of acetic acid. It can be highly corrosive. Peracetic acid 15 is a weaker acid than the parent acetic acid, with a pKa of 8.2.[2] Contents 1 Production 2 Uses 2.1 Epoxidation 3 Safety 4 See also 5 References Production Peracetic acid 15 is produced industrially by the autoxidation of acetaldehyde:[2] O2 + CH3CHO → CH3CO3H It forms upon treatment of acetic acid with hydrogen peroxide with a strong acid catalyst:[3] H2O2 + CH3CO2H ⇌ CH3CO3H + H2O As an alternative, acetyl chloride and acetic anhydride can be used to generate a solution of the acid with lower water content. Peracetic acid 15 is generated in situ by some laundry detergents. This route involves the reaction of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) in the presence of an alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution. The Peracetic acid 15 is a more effective bleaching agent than hydrogen peroxide itself.[4][5] PAA is also formed naturally in the environment through a series of photochemical reactions involving formaldehyde and photo-oxidant radicals.[6] Peracetic acid 15 is always sold in solution as a mixture with acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide to maintain its stability. The concentration of the acid as the active ingredient can vary. Uses The United States Environmental Protection Agency first registered Peracetic acid 15 as an antimicrobial in 1985 for indoor use on hard surfaces. Use sites include agricultural premises, food establishments, medical facilities, and home bathrooms. Peracetic acid 15 is also registered for use in dairy and cheese processing plants, on food processing equipment, and in pasteurizers in breweries, wineries, and beverage plants.[7] It is also applied for the disinfection of medical supplies, to prevent biofilm formation in pulp industries, and as a water purifier and disinfectant. Peracetic acid 15 can be used as a cooling tower water disinfectant, where it prevents biofilm formation and effectively controls Legionella bacteria. A trade name for Peracetic acid 15 as an antimicrobial is Nu-Cidex.[8] In the European Union, Peroxyacetic acid was reported by the EFSA after submission in 2013 by the US Department of Agriculture .[9] Decontamination kits for cleaning fentanyl analogues from surfaces (as used by many police forces, amongst others) often contain solid peracetyl borate, which mixes with water to produce Peracetic acid 15.[10] Epoxidation Although less active than more acidic peracids (e.g., m-CPBA), Peracetic acid 15 in various forms is used for the epoxidation of various alkenes. Useful application are for unsaturated fats, synthetic and natural rubbers, and some natural products such as pinene. A variety of factors affect the amount of free acid or sulfuric acid (used to prepare the peracid in the first place).[11] Safety Peracetic acid 15 is a strong oxidizing agent and severe irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published the following Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGL):[12] eight-hour TWA AEGL Definition mg/m3 ppm 1 The concentration at which the general population will experience transient and reversible problems, such as notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic non-sensory effects. 0.52 0.17 2 The concentration that results in irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape. 1.6 0.52 3 The concentration that results in life-threatening health effects or death 4.1 1.3 See also Disinfectant Hydroxyl Organic peroxide Peroxy acid TrifluoroPeracetic acid 15 Peracetic acid 15 (CAS No. 79-21-0), also known as peroxyacetic acid or PAA, is an organic chemical compound used in numerous applications, including chemical disinfectant in healthcare, sanitizer in the food industry, and disinfectant during water treatment. Peracetic acid 15 has also previously been used during the manufacture of chemical intermediates for pharmaceuticals. Produced by reacting acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide with an acid catalyst, Peracetic acid 15 is always sold in stabilized solutions containing acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and water. For the food and healthcare industries, Peracetic acid 15 is typically sold in concentrates of 1 to 5 percent and is diluted before use. Many users know Peracetic acid 15 to be versatile and effective, and professionals with environmental responsibilities consider it to be environmentally friendly due to its decomposition products, which include acetic acid, oxygen, and water. However, industrial hygienists recognize that it is also highly corrosive and a strong oxidizer, and exposure to Peracetic acid 15 can severely irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. MANY ADVANTAGES “I’ve never seen a chemical whose applications cross over from food and beverage to wastewater,” says Debbie Dietrich, CIH, senior vice president of sales and marketing and corporate industrial hygienist at SKC Inc. “From an industrial standpoint, there are so many advantages to Peracetic acid 15: it’s easy to apply and it doesn’t leave any toxic residues.” Dietrich, who first learned about Peracetic acid 15 from the AIHA Healthcare Working Group, was surprised to find that the use of the compound extends far beyond the healthcare industry, where it’s primarily used as a chemical disinfectant. Outside of hospitals, Peracetic acid 15 has a wide variety of applications, including as a preventive additive to control bacteria such as Legionella in cooling towers and as a biocide to inhibit microbes in wastewater treatment. It’s even used for bleaching and wastewater treatment in the pulp and paper industry. In the food industry, Peracetic acid 15 is an effective antimicrobial used during poultry processing, to wash fresh produce, to sanitize surfaces, and more. Christine R. Knezevich, CIH, an industrial hygienist for the U.S. Air Force who has previous experience working in the food industry and for a manufacturer/distributor of Peracetic acid 15, agrees that the compound has many advantages. “What’s so wonderful is it’s no-rinse,” Knezevich, a former Safe Quality Food (SQF) practitioner, explains. She adds that because Peracetic acid 15 functions well at cold temperatures it can be used effectively in freezers and coolers where meat processing occurs. And some Peracetic acid 15 products can be used for more than one task. “The great thing about Peracetic acid 15 is that depending on the product registration and instructions for use, you can use it for multiple purposes: as a sanitizer, a disinfectant, or a sterilizer,” she explains. “Many times, it’s just a matter of the contact time and the concentration.” According to Knezevich, Peracetic acid 15 doesn’t pose an issue for facilities with water discharge permits under EPA’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The chemical compound is found on the agency’s Safer Chemical Ingredients List as an antimicrobial active that EPA has “verified to be of low concern based on experimental and modeled data.” Peracetic acid 15 is especially attractive to companies who are under pressure to use greener chemicals—particularly those that are certified under the ISO 14001 Environment Management System standard. Knezevich explains that large companies evaluate suppliers based on these “green” requirements. HAZARDS The International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) for stabilized Peracetic acid 15 warns of short-term exposure effects, noting that “the substance is corrosive to the eyes, the skin and the respiratory tract.” Symptoms of acute exposure may include cough, labored breathing, and shortness of breath; skin redness, pain, and blisters; and “severe deep burns” in the eyes, according to the ICSC, which is available on NIOSH’s website. While Peracetic acid 15 is highly irritating to those who work with it—manufacturing workers are most at risk, along with chemists studying the compound—Knezevich maintains that the primary concern associated with Peracetic acid 15 is that it’s a strong oxidizer. “Our major concerns were actually the fire and explosion hazards and reactivity issues,” she says, explaining that Peracetic acid 15 reacts violently with soft metals such as brass, copper, iron, and zinc. And at concentrations of 15 percent or higher, a major chemical manufacturer, FMC Corporation, recommends explosion-proof equipment. But for products containing concentrations of Peracetic acid 15 of five percent or less, which is what the majority of industries are dealing with, the biggest worry is that the compound will come into contact with the wrong type of metal, says Knezevich. She describes a mishap in which a galvanized steel dip tube was installed through the bung of a 55-gallon drum of a solution containing Peracetic acid 15. The drum was laid horizontally in its cradle over the weekend so it would be ready for use the following week. The soft metals of the dip tube reacted with the Peracetic acid 15, resulting in a buildup of oxygen gas. Sometime over the weekend, the drum ruptured from the heat and pressure of the reaction, releasing its contents onto the floor. Had staff been in the facility during that time, they likely would have noticed something was wrong. “They would have noticed that it was starting to bulge or foam,” Knezevich says. “I’ve worked for chemical companies that made products with peroxide, and, believe me—you’ll know when something has gone wrong.” Workplaces using Peracetic acid 15 at lower concentrations will preferably have some type of chemical metering pump system in place to minimize exposures to workers. During a roundtable presentation on surface disinfectants at AIHce 2013, Knezevich described how such a system can be set up in a space such as a janitor’s closet and be used to add water to concentrated Peracetic acid 15 products. Figure 1 depicts an example of a dispensing system. Some companies that sell Peracetic acid 15 products will also help set up and train workers on chemical dispensing equipment.

Chemical metering pump system that works by chemical proportioning through Dosatron pumps (left) and the transferring of chemicals through air pumps (right). Knezevich stresses the importance of employee training and safety precautions when dealing with Peracetic acid 15. “Worker education doesn’t end with the people handling [the Peracetic acid 15],” she says. “If you have personnel doing maintenance work, they have to understand what can and cannot be used with that system.” Knezevich prefers annual training to ensure that employees fully understand the hazards of Peracetic acid 15. Workers and others handling products containing Peracetic acid 15 should also be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use on technical information sheets that accompany each product. These sheets provide directions for use, including instructions for diluting the product, if necessary; chemical characteristics; safety and handling; and storage and disposal. EXPOSURE LIMITS While OSHA does not currently have a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for Peracetic acid 15, IH and OEHS professionals are not entirely without guidance. In 2014, ACGIH adopted a Threshold Limit Value–Short-Term Exposure Limit (TLV-STEL) for Peracetic acid 15 of 0.4 ppm (1.24 mg/m3) as a 15-minute time-weighted average (TWA) exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a workday. The ACGIH STEL value carries the Inhalable Fraction and Vapor (IFV) endnote, which indicates that Peracetic acid 15 “may be present in both particle and vapor phases” and signals IHs to consider both phases when assessing exposures. The adverse health effects on which the TLV-STEL is based are upper respiratory tract, eye, and skin irritation. In 2010, the technical documentation supporting an Acute Exposure Guideline Level (AEGL) for Peracetic acid 15 was published in the eighth volume of Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Selected Airborne Chemicals published by the National Academies Press. AEGLs, or exposure levels below which adverse health effects are not likely to occur, set threshold exposure limits for the general public and are applicable to emergency exposures ranging from 10 minutes to eight hours. They are established at three levels, with AEGL-1 representing the least severe toxic effects caused by exposure and AEGL-3 representing a level of exposure that could cause life-threatening health effects or death. The AEGL-2 for Peracetic acid 15, which indicates the level at which exposure could cause serious, long-lasting adverse health effects, is 0.5 ppm (1.6 mg/m3). A table outlining all AEGLs for Peracetic acid 15 is published on EPA’s website. Most recently, this past August NIOSH reopened for comment its draft Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) value profile for Peracetic acid 15. The profile summarizes the health hazards of acute exposures to high airborne concentrations of Peracetic acid 15 and discusses the rationale for the proposed IDLH value. The draft document lists the IDLH value for Peracetic acid 15 as 0.64 ppm (1.7 mg/m3). The agency does not currently have a recommended exposure limit (REL) for the compound. Exposure guidelines for Peracetic acid 15 are limited, but Knezevich notes that because it’s most often sold as a mixture with hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid, there are other ways for IHs to measure worker exposure to those chemicals. “You simply don’t have a limit for Peracetic acid 15, so the next step is to look at what else is in the mixture,” she says. Workplaces using Peracetic acid 15 at lower concentrations will preferably have some type of chemical metering pump system in place to minimize exposures to workers. Fortunately, the OSHA PELs, ACGIH TLVs, and NIOSH RELs cover both hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. All three organizations have set their respective exposure limits at 1 ppm, or 1.4 mg/m3 TWA, for hydrogen peroxide. ACGIH notes that hydrogen peroxide is a “confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans.” The PEL, TLV, and REL for acetic acid are all set at 10 ppm, or 25 mg/m3 TWA. ACGIH and NIOSH both adopted a STEL for acetic acid at 15 ppm, or 37 mg/m3. SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODS The only method currently available for sampling Peracetic acid 15 was published in 2004 by the Institut National de Recherche et de Sécurité (INRS), a French research organization similar to NIOSH. The INRS method is for the simultaneous collection of Peracetic acid 15 and hydrogen peroxide because the two are found together in solutions. It took U.S. laboratories some time to begin analyzing samples using this method, but growing interest spurred several AIHA-accredited labs to offer the analysis over time, Dietrich says. SKC offers the media for the French method—two-section and single sorbent tubes for sampling Peracetic acid 15, preceded by a treated glass filter for hydrogen peroxide. Bureau Veritas has been offering analysis for Peracetic acid 15 for at least two or three years. Kristine Kurtz, PhD, a department supervisor who is involved in method development and validation at Bureau Veritas’ Novi, Mich., laboratory, says that her lab analyzes five to ten samples a week for Peracetic acid 15. Kurtz explains that most people use the two-section sorbent tubes for collection and that the media is silica gel that’s been treated with methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, or MTSO. “During collection, the peroxyacetic acid oxidizes the MTSO from the sulfoxide into the sulfone, so the actual analyte that we’re dealing with is the oxidation product, or MTSOO,” Kurtz says. “In order to report out results as peroxyacetic acid, we use a conversion factor to convert the oxidation product that we’re actually using in the analysis back to peroxyacetic acid.” Dietrich says that when the media was first developed, laboratory professionals and others approached SKC with two concerns. One was that the method might not be accurately capturing the Peracetic acid 15. “Results were coming out as below the ACGIH TLV-STEL, but workers were still complaining of irritation,” she says. Another concern was that the background level on the sampling media was too high. Dietrich says that SKC put the media on hold to investigate the concerns with laboratory partners. SKC ultimately found a different reagent to lower the background levels of the company’s sorbent tube and worked with laboratory partners to verify that the INRS method worked with the media available. Kurtz says the improved media has allowed her laboratory to lower its reporting limit for Peracetic acid 15 to 5 micrograms. Both Dietrich and Kurtz stress the importance of using a flow rate of at least 1 L/min when using a filter and tube in series to sample for these chemicals. “Our tests showed that the method was capturing the chemical as long as you kept the flow rate at 1 liter per minute,” Dietrich says. “And it’s not easy—a lot of sampling pumps really struggle to pull 1 liter per minute through this sampling media because it has a very high pressure drop. Even if it drops to 800 milliliters per minute, you will see a drop in the recovery.” FUTURE SOLUTIONS In January, OSHA published Method 1019 for hydrogen peroxide based on the INRS sampling and analytical method for the chemical. OSHA Method 1019 uses the same filter media as the French INRS method and is available on OSHA’s website. Knezevich would like to see a PEL for Peracetic acid 15.

USE AND MECHANISM OF ACTION OF PERACTIVE AC WHITE:
Peractive AC White is an important component of laundry detergents that use "active oxygen" bleaching agents.
Active oxygen bleaching agents include sodium perborate, sodium percarbonate, sodium perphosphate, sodium persulfate, and urea peroxide.
These compounds release hydrogen peroxide during the wash cycle, but the release of hydrogen peroxide is low when these compounds used in temperatures below 45 °C (113 °F).
Peractive AC White and hydrogen peroxide react to form peroxyacetic acid, a more efficient bleach, allowing lower temperature wash cycles, around 40 °C (104 °F).
Peractive AC White was first used in a commercial laundry detergent in 1978 (Skip by Unilever).
Currently, Peractive AC White is the main bleach activator used in European laundry detergents and has an estimated annual consumption of 75 kt.



PREPARATION OF PERACTIVE AC WHITE:
Peractive AC White is produced in a two stage process from ethylenediamine (ED) and acetic anhydride (Ac2O).
ED is first diacetylated to DAED.
In the second step DAED is subsequently converted with Ac2O via TriAED into TAED (Clariant, 1999).

Peractive AC White is crystallized out of the reaction mixture, filtered, washed and dried, and if necessary also granulated.
The raw materials used occur almost quantitatively in the product.
Byproducts are not formed.
Peractive AC White was prepared by acetylation of diacetylethylenediamine (DAED) with acetic anhydride in a 5 L reactor coupled with a packed distillation column, 2.5 cm in inside diameter and 1 m in length.

The reaction temperature was set at 135 °C and the reflux ratio at 6.
The molar ratio of acetic anhydride to DAED was varied from 3 to 5.
A Peractive AC White yield as high as 80% was obtained, higher by 15% than in the absence of distillation.



PERHYDROLYSIS:
Peractive AC White reacts with alkaline peroxide via the process called perhydrolysis releasing of peracetic acid.
The first perhydrolysis gives triacetylethylenediamine (TriAED) and the second gives diacetylethylenediamine (DAED).

Perchloroethylene is used in dry cleaning, metal degreasing, as a chemical intermediate, and in typewriter correction fluids.

Dry cleaning operators who transferred wet garments to a dryer had mean levels of 150 ppm.
Other job tasks with substantial exposure were degreasing (95 ppm), cleaning mining equipment, testing coal, cleaning animal coats (taxidermy), and cleaning/duplicating film.

Perchloroethylene is used in dry cleaning; textile processing; degreasing metals; solvent; chemical intermediate in production of fluorocarbons.
Perchloroethylene is used insulating fluid and cooling gas in electric transformers

The major use for Perchloroethylene is as a chemical intermediate for fluorocarbons, such as HFC-134a and HFC-125.
Another important application is the use as a solvent for dry cleaning.

Other uses are textile finishing and dyeing and extraction processes.
In smaller quantities, Perchloroethylene is used to formulate various types of adhesives, sealants, and coatings.

Perchloroethylene is used for dry cleaning of fabrics and for metal-degreasing.
Perchloroethylene is also used to make other chemicals and is used in some consumer products, such as paint strippers and spot removers.

Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials.
Perchloroethylene is volatile, highly stable, and nonflammable.

For these chemical properties, Perchloroethylene is widely used in dry cleaning.
Perchloroethylene is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries (e.g., cleaning tires, brakes, engines, carburetors and wire, and as an antiseizing agent).
Perchloroethylene appears in a few consumer products, including paint strippers and spot removers.

Perchloroethylene was first produced in the United States as a by-product of carbon tetrachloride manufacture in the early 1900s.
The first widespread use of Perchloroethylene was in the dry cleaning industry in the late 1930s.

Production of Perchloroethylene increased during the 1950s.
Throughout the 1950s, about 80% of Perchloroethylene was used for dry cleaning and 15% for metal cleaning and degreasing.
In the 1960s, the dry cleaning industry accounted for about 90% of Perchloroethylene consumption as large dry cleaning plants began favoring Perchloroethylene over flammable petroleum solvents.

After peaking in the 1970s, production and use of Perchloroethylene decreased, probably as a result of Perchloroethylene classification as a hazardous waste by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Additionally, the phase-out of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons led to a decline of Perchloroethylene use as a chemical intermediate for production of those agents.

In the 1990s, use of Perchloroethylene as a chemical precursor for fluorocarbon refrigerants such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, more commonly known as hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 134a, increased, as did demand for Perchloroethylene as a metal degreasing agent.
Although the quantity of Perchloroethylene used in dry cleaning facilities declined throughout the 1990s, Perchloroethylene has remained the predominant solvent used by dry cleaners.

Perchloroethylene is used for dry cleaning and textile processing, as a chemical intermediate, and for vapor degreasing in metal-cleaning operations.

Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials.
Otherwise Perchloroethylene is volatile, highly stable and nonflammable, and has low toxicity.
For these reasons, Perchloroethylene is widely used in dry cleaning.

Perchloroethylene is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries, usually as a mixture with other chlorocarbons.
Perchloroethylene appears in a few consumer products including paint strippers, aerosol preparations and spot removers.

Perchloroethylene is a solvent commonly used in dry cleaning operations.
When applied to a material or fabric, Perchloroethylene helps dissolve greases, oils and waxes without damaging the fabric.

In metal manufacturing, solvents containing perchloroethylene clean and degrease new metal to help prevent impurities from weakening the metal.
Due to Perchloroethylene durability and ability to adhere to plastics, metal, rubber and leather, perchloroethylene has been used as an ingredient in a range of common products such as water repellants, paint removers, printing inks, glues, sealants, polishes and lubricants.

Perchloroethylene offers many physical and chemical properties that make Perchloroethylene the right chlorinated solvent for many applications.
Perchloroethylene is relatively inert and inherently more stable than other chlorinated solvents.

Perchloroethylene is stabilized to prevent solvent degradation or decomposition, and corrosion of metal parts and equipment.
Stabilizers are designed to be recoverable even after repeated cleaning cycles and from carbon adsorbers.

Perchloroethylene’s high solvency and high vapor density make Perchloroethylene ideal for a variety of end uses, and as a result, perchloroethylene has become the largest volume dry cleaning solvent and the choice for vapor degreasing.
With all downstream applications, appropriate registrations and/or approvals may be required.

Possible uses are described below:

Dry cleaning:
Perchloroethylene is the preferred solvent because, in addition to Perchloroethylene non-flammability, Perchloroethylene provides a fast, powerful, yet gentle cleaning action with a minimum of mechanical agitation.
The result is a cleaner product with less fabric wear.
Perchloroethylene is ideal for all natural and syntheticbfibers.

Dry cleaning uses non-aqueous solvents to clean fabrics.
The first dry cleaning operations in the United States (US) date back to the 1800s when people washed fabrics in open tubs with solvents such as gasoline, kerosene, benzene, turpentine, and petroleum and then hung to dry.

In the 1900s, the US started using specialized machines for the dry cleaning process.
However, the use of highly flammable petroleum solvents caused many fires and explosions, highlighting the need to find a safer alternative.

The dry cleaning industry first introduced Stoddard solvent (less flammable than gasoline) followed by several nonflammable halogenated solvents, such as carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene (TCE), trichlorotrifluoroethane, and perchloroethylene (PERC).
Beginning in the 1940s, Perchloroethylene the most frequently used dry cleaning solvent and continues to be the primary solvent used to dry clean fabrics both in the US and the European Union (EU).

To comply with environmental regulations, dry cleaning machines have evolved through several “generations” to minimize Perchloroethylene release.
The 1st generation machines were “transfer machines,” where cleaned fabrics were manually transferred from the washer to a dryer.

Since then, various pollution prevention controls have been implemented through the subsequent generations, culminating in the latest 5th generation machines, which are closed-loop and equipped with refrigerated condensers, carbon absorbers, inductive fans, and sensor-actuated lockout devices.
As the newer generations of machines were introduced, the amount of Perchloroethylene used was reduced from 300 to 500 g-PERC/kilogram of fabrics (1st generation) to
In many EU countries, dry cleaning machines older than 15 years are typically prohibited—only 5th generation machines are allowed.
However, 4th generation machines may be used if best practices (e.g., good housekeeping, optimal machine operation, and recycling) are implemented and they meet EU emission requirements.
The US EPA's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) regulations stipulate that 2nd generation machines must be upgraded to 4th generation, and 3rd generation machines must be retrofitted or upgraded to 4th generation machines; only 4th generation and later machines can be sold, leased, or installed.

As of 2017 in the US, there are ~20,600 dry cleaning shops and the industry employs nearly 160,000 workers, with ~80% identifying as a racial or ethnic minority.
The majority of owners are of Korean ancestry.

Nationwide, 60–65% of dry cleaners use Perchloroethylene as their primary solvent and most of the remainder use a high-flashpoint hydrocarbon.
Other solvents currently used in the US include butylal, siloxane, liquid carbon dioxide, glycol ethers, and water (professional wet cleaning).
In Europe, 60–90% of dry cleaning shops use PERC, depending on the country.

Faster cycles:
The cleaning cycle and drying times are fast with perchloroethylene and, because of Perchloroethylene high solvency, fewer stains are left for the spotter.
Because Perchloroethylene is recoverable, Perchloroethylene has a long service life.

Customizable:
Perchloroethylene works with any dry-cleaning detergent, so the dry cleaner can add detergent or soap to make a customized charged system.

Vapor Degreasing:
Many industries, including aerospace, automotive, and household appliance production, use perchloroethylene in vapor degreasing for metal parts.
Perchloroethylene is ideal for situations that require a high boiling point (above that of water).
Many soils, such as waxes and resins, must be melted in order to be solubilized, making perchloroethylene a preferred solvent.

High boiling point:
The high boiling point of perchloroethylene enables Perchloroethylene to condense more vapor on the metal than other chlorinated solvents, thus washing the parts more effectively.
Perchloroethylene cleans longer and removes higher melt-point pitches and waxes more easily.

Perchloroethylene is effective with lightweight and light gauge parts that warm up to the temperature of a lower boiling point solvent before cleaning is complete.
Perchloroethylene is particularly useful in fine orifices and spot-welded seams.

Azeotropic with water:
Perchloroethylene forms an azeotrope with water.
As a result, perchloroethylene allows a vapor degreaser to function as a drying device for metal parts and to remove water films from metals without degradation of the solvent.

Chemical Processing:
Perchloroethylene serves as a carrier solvent for fabric finishes, rubber, and silicones.
Perchloroethylene also is used as an extractant solvent in paint removers and printing inks.

Perchloroethylene serves as a chemical intermediate in many applications.
As with all applications, when using perchloroethylene to decrease the flammability of a mixture, Perchloroethylene is important to determine the flash point of the final product as Perchloroethylene is to be used prior to selling, since an insufficient quantity of perchloroethylene will not raise the flash point of the mixture.

Catalyst Regeneration:
Perchloroethylene is used in the petroleum refinery industry as a source of hydrochloric acid, a promoter, which helps in the regeneration of catalyst in both catalytic reformer and isomerization operations.
Product sold into this operation must be a purer, less stabilized grade than most to preclude the poisoning of the platinum catalyst.

Fluorocarbon:
Perchloroethylene is used in the manufacture of refrigerants, refrigerant blends, and other fluorinated compounds.

Widespread uses by professional workers:
Perchloroethylene is used in the following products: laboratory chemicals and pH regulators and water treatment products.
Perchloroethylene is used in the following areas: building & construction work, health services and scientific research and development.

Release to the environment of Perchloroethylene can occur from industrial use: of substances in closed systems with minimal release.
Other release to the environment of Perchloroethylene is likely to occur from: indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners), outdoor use as processing aid and indoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. cooling liquids in refrigerators, oil-based electric heaters).

Applications of Perchloroethylene:
Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials.
Otherwise Perchloroethylene is volatile, highly stable, and nonflammable.

For these reasons, Perchloroethylene is widely used in dry cleaning.
Perchloroethylene is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries, usually as a mixture with other chlorocarbons.

Perchloroethylene appears in a few consumer products including paint strippers and spot removers.
Perchloroethylene is used in neutrino detectors where a neutrino interacts with a neutron in the chlorine atom and converts Perchloroethylene to a proton to form argon.

Perchloroethylene is mostly used in dry cleaning business.
Perchloroethylene is a very good solvent and stain remover.
Perchloroethylene also has very low toxicity.

Perchloroethylene is also used to clean oils in automotive and many other metal-related industries.
Certain dye removers and stain removers contain perchloroethylene.
Perchloroethylene had been used in coolant and medicine productions but Perchloroethylene is not preferred now.

Historical Applications:
Perchloroethylene was once extensively used as an intermediate in the manufacture of HFC-134a and related refrigerants.
In the early 20th century, tetrachloroethene was used for the treatment of hookworm infestation.

Features of Perchloroethylene:
Perchloroethylene bears the formula C2Cl4, Perchloroethylene is volatile, nonflammable and resembles the odor of ether.
Perchloroethylene uses are mostly related to cleaning and removal of oil,grease and tough stains.

Perchloroethylene and dry cleaning go hand in hand as Perchloroethylene use is dominant in this sector.
Other uses are as an insulation fluid in electrical transformers, as cooling gas components and cleaner for automotive parts.

Properties of Perchloroethylene:
Perchloroethylene is a colorless, strong scented solvent that is mainly used in dry cleaning business.
Even in 1 ppm, Perchloroethylene odor is distinguishable by humans.
Perchloroethylene is a very good solvent and has very low toxicity.

Perchloroethylene is a nonflammable colorless liquid with a sharp sweet odor; the odor threshold is 1 ppm.
The chemical formula for Perchloroethylene is C2Cl4, and the molecular weight is 165.83 g/mol.
The vapor pressure for Perchloroethylene is 18.47 mm Hg at 25 °C, and Perchloroethylene has a log octanol/waterpartition coefficient (log Kow) of 3.40.

Perchloroethylene, as mentioned above, is neither flammable nor does Perchloroethylene have a measurable flash point, which indicates that at room temperature Perchloroethylene has a lower evaporation rate than other solvents.
In addition, Perchloroethylene does not affect the ozone layer, which is why the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved Perchloroethylene use as a replacement for ozone-depleting solvents.

Perchloroethylene is a colourless, volatile liquid, heavier than water and practically insoluble in water.
Perchloroethylene has an odor similar to ether or chloroform and is sensitive to light and UV radiation, so Perchloroethylene decomposes when Perchloroethylene remains under direct exposure for prolonged periods.
Perchloroethylene can be mixed with a wide variety of organic solvents such as ether, ethyl alcohol, benzene, chloroform and others.

Perchloroethylene has the ability to dissolve fats, oils and resins.
The vapour Perchloroethylene produces is not visible and is heavier than air, so Perchloroethylene spreads at ground level.

Perchloroethylene cold oxidation process is quite slow and Perchloroethylene does not corrode ordinary metals, in fact, Perchloroethylene has the ability to remove grease from metals such as aluminium and magnesium.
However, Perchloroethylene cannot be used on metals such as zinc, lithium, barium and beryllium, which in Perchloroethylene liquid form attacks some varieties of plastics and rubbers.

Manufacturing Methods of Perchloroethylene:
The production of Perchloroethylene is possible by high temperature chlorination of chlorinated lower molecular mass hydrocarbons.

For industrial purposes, three processes are important:
1. Production from acetylene via trichloroethylene.
2. Production from ethylene or 1,2-dichloroethane through oxychlorination.
3. Production from C1-C3 hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons through high temperature chlorination.

Prepared primarily by two processes:
The Huels method whereby direct chlorination of ethylene yields 70% perchloroethylene, 20% carbon tetrachloride, and 10% other chlorinated products;
Hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, or propane are simultaneously chlorinated and pyrolyzed to yield over 95% perchloroethylene plus carbon tetrachloride and hydrochloric acid.

Perchloroethylene is produced mainly by oxyhydrochlorination, perchlorination, and/or dehydrochlorination of hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,2 dichloroethane, propylene, propylene dichloride, 1,1,2-tri-chloroethane, and acetylene.

Production of Perchloroethylene:
Perchloroethylene is industrially produced by chlorolysis of mostly light hydrocarbons in high temperatures.
Many byproducts are also produced in this process.
These items are disintigrated by distillation.

Ethylene chlorine is also produced by catalyzation of potassium chlorine, ammonium chlorine or active carbone and chlorine in 400 °C.
Bypoducts are distillated, similar to above mentioned method.

History and Production:
French chemist Henri Victor Regnault first synthesized Perchloroethylene in 1839 by thermal decomposition of hexachloroethane following Michael Faraday's 1820 synthesis of protochloride of carbon (carbon tetrachloride).
C2Cl6 → C2Cl4 + Cl2

Faraday was previously falsely credited for the synthesis of Perchloroethylene, which in reality, was carbon tetrachloride.
While trying to make Faraday's "protochloride of carbon", Regnault found that his compound was different from Faraday's.

Victor Regnault stated "according to Faraday, the chloride of carbon boiled around 70 °C (158 °F) to 77 °C (171 °F) degrees Celsius but mine did not begin to boil until 120 °C (248 °F) degrees Celsius".
Perchloroethylene can be made by passing chloroform vapour through a red-hot tube, the side products include hexachlorobenzene and hexachloroethane, as reported in 1886.

Most Perchloroethylene is produced by high temperature chlorinolysis of light hydrocarbons.
The method is related to Faraday's discovery since hexachloroethane is generated and thermally decomposes.

Side products include carbon tetrachloride, hydrogen chloride, and hexachlorobutadiene.
Several other methods have been developed.

When 1,2-dichloroethane is heated to 400 °C with chlorine, Perchloroethylene is produced by the chemical reaction:
ClCH2CH2Cl + 3 Cl2 → Cl2C=CCl2 + 4 HCl

This reaction can be catalyzed by a mixture of potassium chloride and aluminium chloride or by activated carbon.
Trichloroethylene is a major byproduct, which is separated by distillation.

Remediation and degradation of Perchloroethylene:
In principle, Perchloroethylene contamination can be remediated by chemical treatment.
Chemical treatment involves reducing metals such as iron powder.

In addition to bioremediation, Perchloroethylene hydrolyzes on contact with soil.

Bioremediation usually entails reductive dechlorination usually under anaerobic conditions.
Dehalococcoides sp. under aerobic conditions by cometabolism by Pseudomonas sp.
Products of biodegradation products include trichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride; full degradation converts Perchloroethylene into ethylene and chloride.

Handling and Storage of Perchloroethylene:

Nonfire Spill Response:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.
Stop leak if you can do Perchloroethylene without risk.

SMALL LIQUID SPILL:
Pick up with sand, earth or other non-combustible absorbent material.

LARGE SPILL:
Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.

Safe Storage:
Separated from metals, ignition sources and food and feedstuffs.
Keep in a well-ventilated room.

Storage Conditions:
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

Store in a secure poison location.
Prior to working with this chemical you should be trained on Perchloroethylene proper handling and storage.
A regulated, marked area should be established where this chemical is handled, used, or stored in compliance with OSHA Standard 1910.1045.

Perchloroethylene must be stored to avoid contact with strong oxidizers, such as chlorine, bromine, and chlorine dioxide; chemically active metals, such as barium, lithium, and beryllium; and nitric acid, since violent reactions occur.
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat.

Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated location.
Separate from active metals.
Isolate from open flames and combustibles.

Perchloroethylene is stored in mild steel tanks equipped with breathing vents & chemical driers.
Perchloroethylene can be transferred through seamless black iron pipes, with gasketing materials of compressed asbestos, asbestos reinforced with metal, or asbestos impregnated with Teflon or Viton, employing centrifugal or positive displacement pumps of cast iron or steel construction.
Small quantities may be stored safely in green or amber glass containers.

Storage site should be as close as practicable to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for expt need to be carried.
Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties) that bears appropriate label.

An inventory should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date Perchloroethylene was acquired.
Facilities for dispensing should be contiguous to storage area.

Health and Safety of Perchloroethylene:
The acute toxicity of Perchloroethylene is moderate to low.
Reports of human injury are uncommon despite Perchloroethylene wide usage in dry cleaning and degreasing.

Despite the advantages of Perchloroethylene, many have called for Perchloroethylene replacement from widespread commercial use.
Perchloroethylene has been described as a possible "neurotoxicant, liver and kidney toxicant, and reproductive and developmental toxicant a 'potential occupational carcinogen'"

Testing for exposure:
Perchloroethylene exposure can be evaluated by a breath test, analogous to breath-alcohol measurements.
Also, for acute exposures, Perchloroethylene in expired air can be measured.

Perchloroethylene can be detected in the breath for weeks following a heavy exposure.
Perchloroethylene and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), a breakdown product of Perchloroethylene, can be detected in the blood.

In Europe, the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits (SCOEL) recommends for Perchloroethylene an occupational exposure limit (8 hour time-weighted average) of 20 ppm and a short-term exposure limit (15 min) of 40 ppm.

Perchloroethylene is present in very tiny amounts in the environment as a result of industrial releases.
Dry cleaned clothes may release small amounts of Perchloroethylene into the air, according to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).

The low levels of perchloroethylene that most people are exposed to in air, water and food are not reported to cause symptoms, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS).
People who wear dry cleaned clothing may be exposed to Perchloroethylene levels that are slightly higher than what is normally found in air, but these amounts are also not expected to be hazardous to the average person’s health.

People who live or work near dry cleaning facilities may be exposed to higher levels of perchloroethylene than the general population.
To help limit any potential health risks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ruled that dry cleaners located in residential buildings must phase out dry cleaning machines that use Perchloroethylene by December 21, 2020.

The highest exposures to perchloroethylene tend to occur in the workplace, especially among dry cleaning workers or workers at metal degreasing facilities.
Exposure to these higher levels of Perchloroethylene can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and/or respiratory system.

Short-term exposure to high levels of Perchloroethylene can affect the central nervous system and may lead to unconsciousness or death, according to NIH.
To help protect these workers, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends special safety precautions, such as a recommended schedule of maintenance activities and performing daily checks for Perchloroethylene leaks from dry cleaning machines.

First Aid Measures of Perchloroethylene:

EYES:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.
Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.

Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SKIN:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.
Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.

IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.

INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air.
IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.

Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.
Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.

INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Corrosive chemicals will destroy the membranes of the mouth, throat, and esophagus and, in addition, have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems.
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.

IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.
If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Transport the victim IMMEDIATELY to a hospital.

OTHER:
Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring.
Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, Perchloroethylene, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure.

Fire Fighting of Perchloroethylene:

SMALL FIRE:
Dry chemical, CO2 or water spray.

LARGE FIRE:
Dry chemical, CO2, alcohol-resistant foam or water spray.
If it can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.
Dike runoff from fire control for later disposal.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS:
Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank.
ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.

In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

Fire Fighting Procedures:

Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Advice for firefighters:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

If material involved in fire:
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty).

If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters.
Notify local health and fire officials and pollution control agencies.

From a secure, explosion-proof location, use water spray to cool exposed containers.
If cooling streams are ineffective (venting sound increases in volume and pitch, tank discolors, or shows any signs of deforming), withdraw immediately to a secure position.
The only respirators recommended for firefighting are self-contained breathing apparatuses that have full face-pieces and are operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

Approach from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and toxic decomposition products.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Use flooding quantities of water as fog or spray.
Extinguish fire using agent suitable for surrounding fire.

CAS: 127-18-4
MF: C2Cl4
MW: 165.83
EINECS: 204-825-9

Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials.
Perchloroethylene is volatile, highly stable, and nonflammable, and thus being widely used in dry cleaning.
Perchloroethylene can also be used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries upon being mixed with other chlorocarbons.
Perchloroethylene can also be used in neutrino detectors.
However, Perchloroethylene should be noted that it is a potential carcinogen.
A chlorocarbon that is tetrachloro substituted ethene.

Perchloroethylene is a colourless liquid with a slightly ethereal odour.
Perchloroethylene is marginally soluble in water and soluble in most organic solvents.
Perchloroethylene has a limited number of uses and applications.
Perchloroethylene is used as intermediate, as dry cleaning agent in the industrial and professional sector, as surface cleaning agent in industrial settings, as heat transfer medium in industrial settings, and in film cleaning and copying by professionals.
Perchloroethylene is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of fluorinated compounds and in industrial surface cleaning metal degreasing.
Occupational exposure to Perchloroethylene is possible in the manufacturing facilities or the industrial facilities where it is used as an intermediate.

Perchloroethylene is a chlorinated ethylene compound commonly used as a dry cleaning and degreasing solvent.
Perchloroethylene shows IR transparency as it has no C–H bonds making it an ideal solvent for IR spectroscopy.
Perchloroethylene is a man-made pollutant which is difficult to degrade.
Perchloroethylene is a ground water contaminant which has adverse effect on human health due to its potential toxicity and carcinogenicity.
Some of the methods proposed for its degradation are Fenton oxidation treatment, reductive dehalogenation under methanogenic condition, and reduction using zero valent metal ions.
One of the methods reported for its synthesis is from ethylene dichloride and chlorine.

Tetrachloroethylene, also known under the systematic name tetrachloroethene, or perchloroethylene, and abbreviations such as "perc" (or "PERC"), and "PCE", is a chlorocarbon with the formula Cl2C=CCl2.
Perchloroethylene is a colorless liquid widely used for dry cleaning of fabrics, hence it is sometimes called "dry-cleaning fluid".
Perchloroethylene also has its uses as an effective automotive brake cleaner.
Perchloroethylene has a sweet odor, similar to the smell of chloroform, detectable by most people at a concentration of 1 part per million (1 ppm).
Worldwide production was about 1 million metric tons (980,000 long tons; 1,100,000 short tons) in 1985.

History and production
French chemist Henri Victor Regnault first synthesized Perchloroethylene in 1839 by thermal decomposition of hexachloroethane following Michael Faraday's 1820 synthesis of protochloride of carbon (carbon tetrachloride).

C2Cl6 → C2Cl4 + Cl2
Faraday was previously falsely credited for the synthesis of Perchloroethylene, which in reality, was carbon tetrachloride.
While trying to make Faraday's "protochloride of carbon", Regnault found that his compound was different from Faraday's.
Victor Regnault stated "according to Faraday, the chloride of carbon boiled around 70 °C (158 °F) to 77 °C (171 °F) degrees Celsius but mine did not begin to boil until 120 °C (248 °F) ".

Perchloroethylene can be made by passing chloroform vapour through a red-hot tube, the side products include hexachlorobenzene and hexachloroethane, as reported in 1886.
Most Perchloroethylene is produced by high temperature chlorinolysis of light hydrocarbons.
The method is related to Faraday's method since hexachloroethane is generated and thermally decomposes.

Side products include carbon tetrachloride, hydrogen chloride, and hexachlorobutadiene.
Several other methods have been developed.
When 1,2-dichloroethane is heated to 400 °C with chlorine, Perchloroethylene is produced by the chemical reaction:

ClCH2CH2Cl + 3 Cl2 → Cl2C=CCl2 + 4 HCl
This reaction can be catalyzed by a mixture of potassium chloride and aluminium chloride or by activated carbon.
Perchloroethylene is a major byproduct, which is separated by distillation.

Perchloroethylene is mainly used as a cleaning solvent in dry cleaning and textile processing and in the manufacture of fluorocarbons. Exposure to this substance irritates the upper respiratory tract and eyes and causes neurological effects as well as kidney and liver damage. Perchloroethylene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and may be linked to an increased risk of developing skin, colon, lung, esophageal, and urogenital tract cancer as well as lymphosarcoma and leukemia.Perchloroethylene is a manufactured chemical that is widely used for dry cleaning of fabrics and for metal-degreasing. It is also used to make other chemicals and is used in some consumer products.Perchloroethylene is stable up to 500 °C in the absence of catalysts, moisture, and oxygen.The distinctive odor of Perchloroethylene does not necessarily provide adequate warning. Because Perchloroethylene quickly desensitizes olfactory responses, persons can suffer exposure to vapor concentrations in excess of TLV limits without smelling it.The odor threshold for Perchloroethylene has been established as 32 mg/ cu m.Perchloroethylene is a colorless, volatile, nonflammable, liquid, chlorinated hydrocarbon with an ether-like odor that may emit toxic fumes of phosgene when exposed to sunlight or flames. Perchloroethylene is mainly used as a cleaning solvent in dry cleaning and textile processing and in the manufacture of fluorocarbons. Exposure to this substance irritates the upper respiratory tract and eyes and causes neurological effects as well as kidney and liver damage. Perchloroethylene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and may be linked to an increased risk of developing skin, colon, lung, esophageal, and urogenital tract cancer as well as lymphosarcoma and leukemia.Perchloroethylene is a volatile, lipophilic small molecule that is rapidly and extensively absorbed after inhalation and oral exposure. It can also be rapidly absorbed through the skin, but dermal absorption appears to be a less important route of exposure. In humans, inhalation exposure to Perchloroethylene typically results, within a few hours of exposure, in a pseudoequilibrium between inspired air and blood although there can be substantial interindividual differences in absorption behavior. After oral dosing in animals, peak blood Perchloroethylene concentrations are typically reached within 15-30 min, and systemic bioavailability is typically greater than 80%; once absorbed, Perchloroethylene is rapidly distributed throughout the body, and well-perfused tissues reach a pseudoequilibrium with blood within a few minutes.Because of its lipophilicity, the highest concentrations of Perchloroethylene are found in adipose tissue. In humans, the fat-to-blood concentration ratio has been estimated to be as high as 90:1. Relatively high concentrations are also observed in the liver and brain. On the basis of animal studies and sparse human data, the brain concentration of Perchloroethylene is 4-8 times the blood concentration.For more Absorption, Distribution and Excretion (Complete) data for Perchloroethylene (32 total), please visit the HSDB record page.The two major products of Perchloroethylene metabolism by the CYP pathway are trichloroacetyl chloride and oxalyl chloride.The beta-lyase pathway: Perchloroethylene is conjugated with glutathione to S-(1,2,2-trichlorovinyl) glutathione and is later processed by gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and aminopeptidase to S-(1,2,2-trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine (TCVC).The CYP pathway is the predominant route of Perchloroethylene metabolism in rats and humans. Plasma albumin adducted with the trichloro derivative, indicating metabolism by the CYP pathway, was found in rats and humans exposed to Perchloroethylene at 40 ppm for 6 hours. ... Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) excretion by rats was about 23 fold that of humans; or humans excreted about 4.4% of the amount excreted by rats.After ingestion of 12-16 g Perchloroethylene, a 6 year old boy was admitted to the clinic in coma. ... The Perchloroethylene blood level profile which was determined under hyperventilation therapy could be computer fitted to a two compartment model. Elimination of Perchloroethylene from the blood compartment occurred via a rapid and a slow process with half-lives of 30 min and 35 hours, respectively. These values compared favorably with the half-lives of 160 min and 33 hours under normal respiratory conditions.The elimination of Perchloroethylene in expired air ranged from 50 to 150 ppm (339 to 1,017 mg/cu m) for up to 8 hr. Biological half-life for fat stores was 71.5 hr.The biological half-life of Perchloroethylene metabolites (as measured as total trichloro-compounds) is 144 hours.Perchloroethylene is used to clean dirt, grease and minor scratches from the print and the negative films prior to printing.The production of Perchloroethylene is possible by high temperature chlorination of chlorinated lower molecular mass hydrocarbons. For industrial purposes, three processes are important: 1. Production from acetylene via trichloroethylene ... 2. Production from ethylene or 1,2-dichloroethane through oxychlorination ... and 3. Production from C1-C3 hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons through high temperature chlorination.Perchloroethylene is produced mainly by oxyhydrochlorination, perchlorination, and/or dehydrochlorination of hydrocarbons or chlorinated hydrocarbons such as 1,2 dichloroethane, propylene, propylene dichloride, 1,1,2-tri-chloroethane, and acetylene.Perchloroethylene is avail in the USA in the following grades: purified, technical, USP, spectrophotometric, and dry-cleaning. The technical and dry-cleaning grades both meet specifications for technical grade and differ only in the amount of stabilizer added to prevent decomposition. Stabilizers ... incl amines or mixtures of epoxides and esters. Typical analysis of the commercial grade is ... nonvolatile residue, 0.0003%; free chlorine, none; moisture, no cloud at -5 °C ... USP grade contains not less than 99.0% and no more than 99.5% Perchloroethylene, the remainder consisting of ethanol.Analyte: Perchloroethylene; Matrix: Air; Sampler: Solid sorbent tube (coconut shell charcoal, 100 mg/50 mg); Flow rate: 0.01-0.2 l/min; Vol: min: 0.2 @ 100 ppm, max: 40; Stability: not determined.The major hazards encountered in the use and handling of Perchloroethylene stem from its toxicologic properties. Exposure to this colorless liquid may occur from its use as a solvent and as an intermediate in chemical syntheses. In addition to eye and skin inflammation from contacting liquid Perchloroethylene, inhalation of its vapor can cause central nervous system depression, liver necrosis, and effects on the lung, heart, and kidney. Perchloroethylene's sweet chloroform-like odor may warn of its presence at a sub-TLV level of 4.68 ppm; however,the distinctive odor of Perchloroethylene does not necessarily provide adequate warning. Because Perchloroethylene quickly desensitizes olfactory responses, persons can suffer exposure to vapor concentrations in excess of TLV limits without smelling it. To assure against exposure, it is recommended that self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing be worn, especially in fire or spill situations. Although considered nonflammable, containers of Perchloroethylene may explode in the heat of a fire and its vapor will decompose in contact with open flames or red-heated materials to yield the poisonous gas, phosgene. For small fires involving Perchloroethylene, extinguish with dry chemical or CO2, and for large fires, use water spray, fog, or foam. Cool containers with water. If the fire involves a tank car or truck, isolate the area for 1/2 mile in all directions. Perchloroethylene should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from strong oxidizers, potential fire hazards, caustic soda, potash, and chemically active metals such as barium, lithium, and beryllium. For small spills of Perchloroethylene, ventilate the area then take up with vermiculite, dry sand, or earth. Large spills should be diked for later disposal. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residues (including waste sludge), consult environmental regulatory agencies for guidance.Irritation of the eyes, nose, or throat and central nervous system depression were experienced by 17 subjects, exposed to 685 mg of Perchloroethylene per cu m air. Coordination was impaired within 3 hr of exposure.D039; A waste containing Perchloroethylene may or may not be characterized as a hazardous waste following testing by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure as prescribed by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations.The presence of 0.5% of trichloroethylene as impurity in Perchloroethylene during unheated drying over solid sodium hydroxide caused the generation of dichloroacetylene. After subsequent fractional distillation, the volatile fore-run exploded.Perchloroethylene, also known under the systematic name tetrachloroethene, or perchloroethylene, and many other names (and abbreviations such as "perc" or "PERC", and "PCE"), is a chlorocarbon with the formula Cl2C=CCl2. It is a colorless liquid widely used for dry cleaning of fabrics, hence it is sometimes called "dry-cleaning fluid". It has a sweet odor detectable by most people at a concentration of 1 part per million (1 ppm). Worldwide production was about 1 million metric tons (980,000 long tons; 1,100,000 short tons) in 1985.Most Perchloroethylene is produced by high temperature chlorinolysis of light hydrocarbons. The method is related to Faraday's discovery since hexachloroethane is generated and thermally decomposes.Side products include carbon tetrachloride, hydrogen chloride, and hexachlorobutadiene.Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic materials. Otherwise it is volatile, highly stable, and nonflammable. For these reasons, it is widely used in dry cleaning. It is also used to degrease metal parts in the automotive and other metalworking industries, usually as a mixture with other chlorocarbons. It appears in a few consumer products including paint strippers and spot removers. It is also used in aerosol preparations.It is used in neutrino detectors where a neutrino interacts with a neutron in the chlorine atom and converts it to a proton to form argon.Perchloroethylene was once extensively used as an intermediate in the manufacture of HFC-134a and related refrigerants. In the early 20th century, tetrachloroethene was used for the treatment of hookworm infestation.The acute toxicity of Perchloroethylene "is moderate to low". "Reports of human injury are uncommon despite its wide usage in dry cleaning and degreasing".The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified Perchloroethylene as a Group 2A carcinogen, which means that it is probably carcinogenic to humans.Like many chlorinated hydrocarbons, Perchloroethylene is a central nervous system depressant and can enter the body through respiratory or dermal exposure. Perchloroethylene dissolves fats from the skin, potentially resulting in skin irritation.Animal studies and a study of 99 twins showed there is a "lot of circumstantial evidence" that exposure to Perchloroethylene increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease ninefold. Larger population studies are planned.Also, Perchloroethylene has been shown to cause liver tumors in mice and kidney tumors in male rats.Perchloroethylene exposure has been linked to pronounced acquired color vision deficiencies after chronic exposure.Perchloroethylene is a common soil contaminant. With a specific gravity greater than 1, Perchloroethylene will be present as a dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) if sufficient quantities are released. Because of its mobility in groundwater, its toxicity at low levels, and its density (which causes it to sink below the water table), cleanup activities are more difficult than for oil spills: oil has a specific gravity less than 1. Recent research on soil and ground water pollution by Perchloroethylene has focused on in-place remediation. Instead of excavation or extraction for above-ground treatment or disposal, Perchloroethylene contamination has been successfully remediated by chemical treatment or bioremediation. Bioremediation has been successful under anaerobic conditions by reductive dechlorination by Dehalococcoides sp. and under aerobic conditions by cometabolism by Pseudomonas sp. Partial degradation daughter products include trichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride; full degradation converts Perchloroethylene to ethene and hydrogen chloride dissolved in water.Estimates state that 85% of Perchloroethylene produced is released into the atmosphere; while models from OECD assumed that 90% is released into the air and 10% to water. Based on these models, its distribution in the environment is estimated to be in the air (76.39% - 99.69%), water (0.23% - 23.2%), soil (0.06-7%), with the remainder in the sediment and biota. Estimates of lifetime in the atmosphere vary, but a 1987 survey estimated the lifetime in the air to be about 2 months in the Southern Hemisphere and 5–6 months in the Northern Hemisphere. Degradation products observed in a laboratory include phosgene, trichloroacetyl chloride, hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Perchloroethylene is degraded by hydrolysis, and is persistent under aerobic conditions. It is degraded by reductive dechlorination under anaerobic conditions, with degradation products such as trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, ethylene, and ethane. It has an ozone depletion potential of 0.005, where CFC-11 (CCl3F) is 1.Perchloroethylene, also known as perc, is a colorless, nonflammable liquid solvent with a sweet, ether-like odor. It is primarily used in industrial settings and also for dry-cleaning fabrics and degreasing metals.Perchloroethylene is a solvent commonly used in dry cleaning operations. When applied to a material or fabric, perc helps dissolve greases, oils and waxes without damaging the fabric.In metal manufacturing, solvents containing perchloroethylene clean and degrease new metal to help prevent impurities from weakening the metal.Due to its durability and ability to adhere to plastics, metal, rubber and leather, perchloroethylene has been used as an ingredient in a range of common products such as water repellants, paint removers, printing inks, glues, sealants, polishes and lubricants.Perchloroethylene is present in very tiny amounts in the environment as a result of industrial releases. Dry cleaned clothes may release small amounts of perc into the air, according to the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).The low levels of perchloroethylene that most people are exposed to in air, water and food are not reported to cause symptoms, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). People who wear dry cleaned clothing may be exposed to perc levels that are slightly higher than what is normally found in air, but these amounts are also not expected to be hazardous to the average person’s health.People who live or work near dry cleaning facilities may be exposed to higher levels of perchloroethylene than the general population. To help limit any potential health risks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has ruled that dry cleaners located in residential buildings must phase out dry cleaning machines that use perc by December 21, 2020.The highest exposures to perchloroethylene tend to occur in the workplace, especially among dry cleaning workers or workers at metal degreasing facilities. Exposure to these higher levels of perc can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and/or respiratory system. Short-term exposure to high levels of perc can affect the central nervous system and may lead to unconsciousness or death, according to NIH. To help protect these workers, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends special safety precautions, such as a recommended schedule of maintenance activities and performing daily checks for perc leaks from dry cleaning machines.Perchloroethylene, also known as perc, is a solvent used in dry cleaning operations. In metal manufacturing, perc cleans and degreases metals.The highest exposures to perchloroethylene tend to occur in the workplace, especially among dry cleaning and degreasing workers. To protect workers, OSHA recommends specific safety precautions. The dry cleaning industry has also worked to reduce perc exposures for workers in recent years, by implementing improved safety measures, and switching over to modern dry cleaning equipment that reduces worker exposure to perc.The low levels of perchloroethylene that may be present in air, water and food are not reported to cause symptoms. The highest exposures to perc tend to occur in industrial settings. Higher levels of perc exposure can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and/or respiratory system. Short-term exposure to high levels of perc can affect the central nervous system and cause unconsciousness and death, according to NIH.People who wear dry cleaned clothing may be exposed to perc at levels that are slightly higher than what is normally found in air, but these amounts are not expected to be hazardous to the average person’s health, according to ACS.According to ACS, some studies of people exposed to perc at work, such as dry cleaning workers, found more cases than expected of certain cancers, including cancers of the esophagus, kidney, cervix and bladder, as well as lymphomas. However, the results of these studies did not always agree, and there were so few cases of cancer in general that the increased risk often may have been due to chance, not exposure to perc. Many of these studies also did not account for other factors that might affect cancer risk, such as cigarette or alcohol use. ATSDR states that exposure to perchloroethylene might lead to a higher risk of bladder cancer, multiple myeloma or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for some people, but also states that the evidence is not very strong.Tetrachloroethylene is widely used for dry-cleaning fabrics and metal degreasing operations. Effects resulting from acute (short term) high-level inhalation exposure of humans to tetrachloroethylene include irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, kidney dysfunction, and neurological effects such as reversible mood and behavioral changes, impairment of coordination, dizziness, headache, sleepiness, and unconsciousness. The primary effects from chronic (long term) inhalation exposure are neurological, including impaired cognitive and motor neurobehavioral performance. Tetrachloroethylene exposure may also cause adverse effects in the kidney, liver, immune system and hematologic system, and on development and reproduction. Studies of people exposed in the workplace have found associations with several types of cancer including bladder cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma. EPA has classified tetrachloroethylene as likely to be carcinogenic to humans.Tetrachloroethylene is used for dry cleaning and textile processing, as a chemical intermediate, and for vapor degreasing in metal-cleaning operations.Perchloroethylene is a colorless liquid (also called tetrachloroethylene or tetrachloroethene) used as a dry cleaning agent, chemical intermediate and metal degreasing agent. Perchloroethylene has also been used as an insulating fluid and cooling gas in electrical transformers, in paint removers, printing inks, adhesives, paper coating and leather treatment; in aerosol formulations, as an extractant for pharmaceuticals, to remove soot from industrial boilers, and as an antihelminthic agent. Perchloroethylene is a volatile liquid, as such when it is released to surface water or surface soil, it tends to volatilize quickly. Perchloroethylene is also mobile in soil and has the potential to leach below the soil surface and contaminate groundwater. Perchloroethylene can also biodegrade to trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, vinyl chloride, and ethene through reductive dechlorination, therefore the exposed population can also be exposed to the degradation product, trichloroethylene, which is often found as a contaminant in products with perchloroethylene. The liver is the target organ in humans, mainly in reports of accidental exposure to a high concentration. Meckler et.al.48 described liver damage in a woman exposed occupationally to perchloroethylene fumes documented by a liver biopsy. Other investigators have shown that exposure to perchloroethylene is associated with elevation of liver enzymes, jaundice, and enlarged liver.49,50 Experimental animal studies also have shown liver damage by inhalation of perchloroethylene.51–54 Liver necrosis occurred in experimental mice exposed to 100 and 200 ppm of perchloroethylene for 103 weeks.55 Experimental animals exposed orally to perchloroethylene have been shown to develop liver changes similar to those produced by inhalation studies, and mice are more sensitive than rats to perchloroethylene induced liver toxicity. Humans exposed by oral routes to perchloroethylene except for heavy doses commonly have not shown significant changes other than obstructive jaundice and enlarged liver reported in an infant exposed to perchloroethylene via breast milk.56 It is highly likely that perchloroethylene is a hepatotoxic agent at high doses, and probably at low doses as well in susceptible individuals with other environmental exposures, are taking prescription medications, have alcoholism, nutritional and/or genetic factors, or preexisting disease of the liver. The IARC Working Group reviewed experimental animal studies that evaluated the carcinogenicity of perchloroethylene. In mice given perchloroethylene in corn oil by gavage, there were increases in the trend and in the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in males and females.In two separate studies in mice of two different strains exposed by inhalation, significant increases in the incidence of hepatocellular adenoma, carcinoma, and adenoma or carcinoma (combined) were observed in males and females.There are numerous cancer studies in humans examining the risk from exposure to perchloroethylene. It is evident that perchloroethylene can increase cancer risks in humans and is carcinogenic in animals as well. There are epidemiological studies that link exposure to perchloroethylene and increased risk of liver cancer in humans. A case-control study Lynge and Thygesen61 reported an increased liver cancer incidence in Danish female dry cleaning and laundry workers with a follow-up study by Lynge62 finding that the increased liver cancer incidence in the female Danish workers was associated with the laundry workers (SIR = 3.4, 95% CI = 1.4 - 7.0). In a report by Hernberg et al.63 a survey among 377 exposed people to various solvents including perchloroethylene compared to 385 unexposed controls indicated an increased incidence of liver cancer in females.The National Toxicology Program has categorized perchloroethylene as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.64 The IARC has listed PCE as Group 2A – probably carcinogenic to humans. The IARC found that, “Positive associations have been observed for cancer of the bladder. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of perchloroethylene.”65 Epidemiologic data suggest a possible increased incidence of liver in humans, but data are limited.The corrosiveness of perchloroethylene to copper is determined using Soxhlet apparatus.27 Three pre-weighed strips of copper are used, one placed in the bottom flask, the second in the bottom of the Soxhlet attachment, and the third below the condenser. The specimens are exposed to refluxing solvent for 72 h after which the entire apparatus is flushed with distilled water to wash all acidic substances back to the flask. The water layer is titrated with 0.01 N NaOH to determine its acidity and the strips are weighed to determine weight loss. The results indicate quality of solvent. A different method is used to test copper corrosion by aromatic hydrocarbons.28 Here, a copper strip is immersed in a flask containing solvent and the flask is placed in boiling water for 30 min. Next, the copper strip is compared with ASTM standard corroded copper strips.If 1,1,1-trichloroethane is not properly stabilized, it forms hydrochloric acid in the presence of aluminum. HCl corrodes aluminum. The presence of free water invalidates the result of this test.29 An aluminum coupon is scratched beneath the surface of a solvent. The coupon is observed for 10 min and 1 h and the degree of corrosion is recorded in form of pass (no reaction) or fail (gas bubbles, color formation, or metal corrosion). The test is important to cleaning operations because aluminum should not be used for parts of machines (pumps, tanks, valves, spray equipment) in contact with corrosive solvent.Tetrachloroethylene is synthetic chemical used for dry cleaning, and has also been named as perchloroethylene and tetrachloroethene. The liver is the target organ in humans, mainly in reports of accidental exposure to a high concentration. Meckler et.al.48 has shown liver damage in a woman exposed occupationally to tetrachloroethylene fumes documented by a liver biopsy. Other investigators have also shown elevation of liver enzymes, jaundice, and enlarged liver.49,50 Experimental animal studies also have shown liver damage by inhalation of tetrachloroethylene.51–54 Liver necrosis occurred in experimental mice exposed to 100 and 200 ppm of tetrachloroethylene for 103 weeks.55 Experimental animals exposed orally to tetrachloroethylene have been shown to develop liver changes similar to those produced by inhalation studies, and mice are more sensitive than rats to tetrachloroethylene induced liver toxicity. Humans exposed by oral routes to tetrachloroethylene except for heavy doses commonly have not shown significant changes other than obstructive jaundice and enlarged liver reported in an infant exposed to tetrachloroethylene via breast milk.56 Issues of carcinogenicity will not be addressed in this chapter, and the interested reader is referred to the toxicological profile for tetrachloroethylene.57 It is highly likely that tetrachlorethylene is a hepatotoxic agent at high doses, and probably at low doses as well in susceptible individuals with either other environmental exposures, prescription medications, alcoholism, nutritional and/or genetic factors, and preexisting disease of the liver.Tetrachloroethylene is a colorless, volatile, nonflammable, liquid, chlorinated hydrocarbon with an ether-like odor that may emit toxic fumes of phosgene when exposed to sunlight or flames. Tetrachloroethylene is mainly used as a cleaning solvent in dry cleaning and textile processing and in the manufacture of fluorocarbons. Exposure to this substance irritates the upper respiratory tract and eyes and causes neurological effects as well as kidney and liver damage. Tetrachloroethylene is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and may be linked to an increased risk of developing skin, colon, lung, esophageal, and urogenital tract cancer as well as lymphosarcoma and leukemia.

Permethrin



APPLICATIONS


Permethrin, a pyrethroid, is active against a broad range of pests including lice, ticks, fleas, mites, and other arthropods.
Further, Permethrin is an insecticide in the pyrethroid family.

Permethrin is a synthetic chemical that acts like a natural extract from thflower.
Moreover, Permethrin is used in a number of ways to control insects.

Products containing permethrin may be used in public health mosprograms.
They may be used on food and feed crops, on ornamental lawns, on livestock and pets, in structures and buildings, and on clo

Permethrin may also be used in places where food is handled, such as restaurants.
More to that, Permethrin was first registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in 1979, and was re-registe

Permethrin is used as an ectoparasiticide in humans and animals.
Furthermore, Permethrin is used as a nematocide, acaricide, and insecticide.
Permethrin is registered for use in the U.S. but approved pesticide uses may change periodically and so federal, state and local authorities must be consulted for currently approved uses.

The pyrethroids are the most widely used class of insecticides in wood preservation because of their broad-spectrum activity, high efficacy especially against wood boring beetle, and high resistance to leaching.
Permethrin has a potential application for forest protection and vector control for the control of noxious insects in the household and on cattle, for the control of body lice, and in mosquito nets.

Permethrin is used to treat head lice, tiny insects that infest and irritate your scalp.
Further, Permethrin is also used to help avoid infestation in people who have close contact with someone who has head lice.

Permethrin belongs to a class of drugs known as pyrethrins.
Moreover, Permethrin works by paralyzing and killing lice and their eggs (nits).
Permethrin may also be used for pubic lice.

Permethrin is available under the following different brand names: Nix, Elimite, and Acticin.


Dosage Considerations – Should be Given as Follows:


Scabies

Cream:

Apply from head to toe, leave on for 8-14 hours, rinse; may reapply in 7 days if live mites reappear.
The single application is usually curative.

Head Lice and Nits (Eggs)

Lotion/cream rinse/liquid:

Apply to washed hair, leave on 10 minutes, rinse and comb out nits and eggs; may repeat in 7 days if lice or nits still present.
The single application is usually curative.


Uses of Permethrin:

Insecticide:

In agriculture, to protect crops (a drawback is that it is lethal to bees)
In agriculture, to kill livestock parasites
For industrial and domestic insect control
In the textile industry, to prevent insect attack of woollen products

In aviation, the WHO, IHR and ICAO require arriving aircraft be disinsected prior to embarkation, departure, descent, or deplaning in certain countries. Aircraft disinsection with permethrin-based products is recommended only prior to embarkation.
Prior to departure (after boarding), at the top of descent or on arrival, d-phenothrin-based (1R-trans phenothrin) aircraft insecticides are recommended.

Insect repellent:

As a personal protective measure, permethrin is applied to clothing.
Permethrin is a cloth impregnant, notably in mosquito nets and field wear.
Note that while permethrin may be marketed as an insect repellent, it doesn't prevent insects from landing.

Instead Permethrin works by incapacitating or killing insects before they can bite.
In pet flea preventive collars or treatment (safe for use on dogs but not cats)

In timber treatment:

Pest control / effectiveness and persistence:

In agriculture, permethrin is mainly used on cotton, wheat, maize, and alfalfa crops.
Its use is controversial because, as a broad-spectrum chemical, Permethrin kills indiscriminately; as well as the intended pests, it can harm beneficialinsects, including honey bees, as well as cats and aquatic life.

Permethrin kills ticks and mosquitoes on contact with treated clothing.
A method of reducing deer tick populations by treating rodent vectors involves stuffing biodegradable cardboard tubes with permethrin-treated cotton.
Mice collect the cotton for lining their nests.

Permethrin on the cotton instantly kills any immature ticks feeding on the mice.
Permethrin is used in tropical areas to prevent mosquito-borne disease such as dengue fever and malaria.
Mosquito nets used to cover beds may be treated with a solution of permethrin.

This increases the effectiveness of the bed net by killing parasitic insects before they are able to find gaps or holes in the net.
Personnel working in malaria-endemic areas may be instructed to treat their clothing with permethrin as well.
Permethrin is the most commonly used insecticide worldwide for the protection of wool from keratinophagous insects such as Tineolabisselliella.

Permethrin affects the neuronal membrane by blocking the movement of sodium ions from outside to inside the neuronal cell membrane thereby disrupting the sodium channel current that regulates the polarization of the membrane.
This leads to delayed repolarization and subsequent paralysis of the nervous system.
Permethrin is used to eradicate parasites such as head lice, ticks and scabies from humans and animals.


Medical use of Permethrin:

Permethrin is available for topical use as a cream or lotion.
It is indicated for the treatment and prevention in exposed individuals of head lice and treatment of scabies.
Permethrin has an excellent safety profile; its main drawback is its cost.

For treatment of scabies:

Adults and children older than 2 months are instructed to apply the cream to the entire body from head to the soles of the feet.
Wash off the cream after 8–14 hours.

In general, one treatment is curative.
A single application of permethrin is more effective than a single oral dose of ivermectin for scabies.

In addition permethrin provides more rapid symptomatic relief than ivermectin.
When a second dose of ivermectin is days later, the efficacy between permethrin and ivermectin approach parity.

For treatment of head lice:

Apply to hair, scalp, and neck after shampooing.
Leave in for 10 minutes and rinse.
Avoid contact with eyes.

Permethrin is used in tropical areas to prevent mosquito-borne disease such as dengue fever and malaria.
Mosquito nets used to cover beds may be treated with a solution of permethrin.

This increases the effectiveness of the bed net by killing parasitic insects before they are able to find gaps or holes in the net. Personnel working in malaria-endemic areas may be instructed to treat their clothing with permethrin as well.

Permethrin is the most commonly used insecticide worldwide for the protection of wool from keratinophagous insects such as Tineola bisselliella.
To better protect soldiers from the risk and annoyance of biting insects, the British and US armies are treating all new uniforms with permethrin.

Permethrin (as well as other long-term pyrethroids) is effective over several months, in particular when used indoors.
International studies report that permethrin can be detected in house dust, in fine dust, and on indoor surfaces even years after the application.
The degradation rate of Permethrin under indoor conditions is approximately 10% after 3 months.

Resistance:

Contrary to the most common mechanism of insecticide resistance evolution – selection for preexisting, low-frequency alleles – in Aedes aegypti permethrin resistance has arisen through the mechanism common to pyrethroids and DDT known as "knockdown resistance" (kdr) mutations.


While Permethrin is manmade, it resembles naturally occurring chemicals called pyrethroids that are naturally found in chrysanthemums, which haveinsecticidal properties.
Permethrin kills many different types of insects by paralyzing the nervous system.

Permethrin works when ingested or through direct contact and kills adults, eggs, and larvae.
Further, Permethrin lasts up to 12 weeks post application.



DESCRIPTION


Permethrin is a synthetic broad-spectrum insecticide classified as one of the oldest organic insecticides.
Furthermore, Permethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide commonly used in the treatment of lice infestations and scabies.
Permethrin is an insecticide used to prevent infestation with Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies).

Permethrin is a medication and an insecticide.
As a medication, Permethrin is used to treat scabies and lice.

Permethrin is applied to the skin as a cream or lotion.
As an insecticide, Permethrin can be sprayed onto clothing or mosquito nets to kill the insects that touch them.

Side effects of Permethrin include rash and irritation at the area of use.
Use of Permethrin during pregnancy appears to be safe.
Permethrin is approved for use on and around people over the age of two months.

Permethrin is in the pyrethroid family of medications.
Further, Permethrin works by disrupting the function of the neurons of lice and scabies mites
Permethrin was discovered in 1973.

Permethrin is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.
In 2020, Permethrin was the 427th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 100 thousand prescriptions.
Permethrin is a widely-used pesticide of the pyrethroid family.

Permethrin interacts with voltage-gated Na+ channels and inhibits their natural deactivation, causing the channels to remain open for a long time and destroying equilibrium of the neuronal system.
More specifically, Permethrin is known to delay channel deactivation of the NaV1.8 channel expressed in X.

Pyrethroids such as Permethrin are also thought to interact with GABA receptors and associated pathways.
Compared to mammalian sodium channels, Permethrin is at least 100 times more potent against insect sodium channels.

This medication is used to treat scabies, a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin.
Permethrin belongs to a class of drugs known as pyrethrins.
Furthermore, Permethrin works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs.

Permethrin is a pale brown liquid.
Moreover, Permethrin is relatively water insoluble.
Permethrin is used as an insecticide.

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid and neurotoxin.

Permethrin affects the neuronal membrane by blocking the movement of sodium ions from outside to inside the neuronal cell membrane thereby disrupting the sodium channel current that regulates the polarization of the membrane.
This leads to delayed repolarization and subsequent paralysis of the nervous system.
Permethrin is used to eradicate parasites such as head lice, ticks and scabies from humans and animals.

Permethrin is a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester in which the esterifying alcohol is 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol and the cyclopropane ring is substituted with a 2,2-dichlorovinyl group and with gem-dimethyl groups.

Permethrin has a role as a pyrethroid ester insecticide, a pyrethroid ester acaricide, an agrochemical, an ectoparasiticide and a scabicide.
More to that, Permethrin is a member of cyclopropanes and a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester.
Permethrin is functionally related to a 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid.

It is used extensively in building and construction, automotive, and medical industries. PVC Suspension Resin is produced at four Westlake Chemical facilities: Aberdeen, Mississippi; Calvert City, Kentucky; Geismar, Louisiana; and Plaquemine, Louisiana. With over 60 years of responsible production and handling experience, Westlake manufactures PVC Suspension Resin with environmental and public safety consideration. Westlake personnel are experienced in handling and shipping PVC Suspension Resin, and our engineers, scientists, and sales personnel can provide technical assistance to users. Production Westlake produces PVC Suspension Resin through the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer. The monomer, water and suspending agents are fed into a polymerization reactor and are agitated at high speeds to form small droplets of vinyl chloride monomer. After an initiator is added, the vinyl chloride monomer droplets are then polymerized into PVC Suspension Resin under controlled pressures and temperatures. After polymizeration is complete, the resulting slurry is stripped of unreacted vinyl chloride monomer, the excess water is removed, and the resulting solid is dried to form the final product. The final PVC Suspension Resin contains less than 5 parts per million of residual vinyl chloride monomer. Uses Many properties of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) make it ideal for a variety of applications. It is biologically and chemically resistant; it is durable and ductile; and it can be made softer and flexible by the addition of plasticizers. With all downstream applications, appropriate registrations and/or approvals may be required. Possible uses for polyvinyl chloride are described below:  Pipes - Roughly half of North America’s polyvinyl chloride is used to produce pipes for municipal, construction, and industrial applications. It is particularly well suited for this purpose due to its light weight, high strength, low reactivity, and corrosion and bacterial resistance. Additionally, PVC pipes can be fused together in a variety of ways, including solvent cements, adhesives, and heat-fusion, creating permanent joints that are impervious to leakage. Globally, piping is the single largest use for PVC.  Residential and Commercial Siding - Rigid PVC is used to make vinyl siding. This material comes in a wide range of colors and finishes and is used as a substitute for wood or metal. It is waterproof, weather resistant, and low maintenance. It is also used in window sills and door frames, gutters and downspouts, and double glazing window frames.  Packaging - PVC is widely used as a protecting film in stretch and shrink wrapping, laminate films with polyethylene, rigid blister packaging, and food and film packaging. It can also be blow molded into bottles and containers. PVC acts as a microbial and water resistant barrier, protecting food, household cleaners, soaps and toiletries.  Wiring Insulations - PVC is used as the insulation and fire retardant on electrical wiring. The wires are coated with the resin and the chlorine acts as a free radical scavenger to insulate and reduce the spread of fire.  Medical - PVC is used to make blood and intravenous bags, kidney dialysis and blood transfusion equipment, cardiac catheters, endotracheal tubes, artificial heart valves, and other medical equipment.  Automotive - PVC is used to make body side moldings, windshield system components, interior upholstery, dashboards, arm rests, floor mats, wire coatings, abrasion coatings, adhesives, and sealants.  Consumer Goods - Both rigid and flexible PVC is used in a wide variety of finished consumer goods, including modern furniture design, air conditioners, refrigerators, phone systems, computers, power tools, electrical cords, garden hoses, clothing, toys, luggage, apparel, vacuums, and credit card stock sheet. PVC can be blended with other plastics to customize the product’s properties including color, hardness, abrasion resistance, etc. This method allows producers to determine the customized look and feel of the final product. Health Effects Read and follow all instructions on the product label and review the safety data sheet to understand and avoid the hazards associated with PVC Suspension Resin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid direct contact. Eye exposure to dust may cause mechanical irritation; excessive concentrations of nuisance dust in the workplace may reduce visibility and may cause unpleasant deposits in eyes. Skin exposure to dust may cause mechanical irritation. Inhalation exposure to dust may cause irritation; processes such as cutting, grinding, crushing, or impact may result in generation of excessive amounts of airborne dusts in the workplace. Nuisance dust may affect the lungs but reactions are typically reversible. Prolonged and repeated inhalation of respirable dust (particles less than 10 microns in size) may cause damage to lungs. Exposure to PVC respirable dust has been reported to cause lung changes in animals and humans, including decreased respiratory capacity and inflammation. Westlake’s PVC Suspension Resin is manufactured by suspension polymerization and the particle size is generally large enough in diameter that it is not considered respirable. Before handling, it is important that engineering controls are operating and protective equipment requirements and personal hygiene measures are being followed. People working with this chemical should be properly trained regarding its hazards and its safe use and should be given the opportunity to review this document and the safety data sheet. Environmental Effects PVC Suspension Resin should be kept out of lakes, streams, ponds or other water sources. Based on the high molecular weight of this polymeric material, transport of this compound across biological membranes is unlikely. Accordingly, the probability of environmental toxicity or bioaccumulation in organisms is remote. Exposure Potential Precautions should be taken to minimize potential harm to people, animals, and the environment. Potential for exposure may vary depending upon site-specific conditions. When handling PVC Suspension Resin, always refer to the safety data sheet and product warning label and follow all instructions and warnings. Based on the expected uses for PVC Suspension Resin, exposure could be through:  Workplace exposure - Exposure can occur in either a PVC Suspension Resin manufacturing facility or in the various industrial facilities that use PVC Suspension Resin. Good industrial hygiene practices and the use of personal protective equipment will, when combined with proper training and environmental, health and safety practices, contribute to a safe work environment.  Environmental releases - In the event of a spill, contain the spill to prevent entry into waterways and sewers. Avoid the generation of dust. The spill area can be washed with water; however, the unusable material should be placed into a closed, properly labeled container compatible with the product. Industrial spills (releases to soil or water) should be controlled by workplace spill programs which include containment around loading and unloading operations and storage tanks and employee training. Many aspects of a spill control program are mandated by federal, state and local requirements. In addition, if a spill occurs, governmental reporting may be required. Refer to the safety data sheet for instructions to contain and clean up a spill to minimize exposure.  Consumer exposure - PVC Suspension Resin is not sold directly to consumers; however it is an ingredient in consumer products. In any case, keep all chemical products out of the reach of children. Westlake cannot and does not make any representation or conclusion about consumer exposure risks associated with its customers’ products. Physical and Chemical Properties PVC Suspension Resin is a solid white powder with no odor at standard temperatures and pressures. Exposure to temperatures of 300°F or greater for extended periods of time may cause thermal degradation of PVC Suspension Resin. Instantaneous temperatures above 420°F, prolonged heating at processing temperatures, or excessive shear/heat combinations during processing can generate hazardous decomposition products.

APPLICATIONS


Phenol is used in many industries.
Moreover, Phenol is used for medicine as a slimicide, antiseptic, and disinfectant and to manufacture a number of products.
Phenol was first extracted from coal tar, but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum-derived feedstocks.

Phenol is an important industrial commodity as a precursor to many materials and useful compounds.
Furthermore, Phenol is primarily used to synthesize plastics and related materials.
Phenol and its chemical derivatives are essential for production of polycarbonates, epoxies, Bakelite, nylon, detergents, herbicides such as phenoxy herbicides, and numerous pharmaceutical drugs.

The major uses of phenol, consuming two thirds of its production, involve its conversion to precursors for plastics.
Condensation with acetone gives bisphenol-A, a key precursor to polycarbonates and epoxide resins.

Condensation of phenol, alkylphenols, or diphenols with formaldehyde gives phenolic resins, a famous example of which is Bakelite.
Partial hydrogenation of phenol gives cyclohexanone, a precursor to nylon.
Nonionic detergents are produced by alkylation of phenol to give the alkylphenols, e.g., nonylphenol, which are then subjected to ethoxylation.

Phenol is also a versatile precursor to a large collection of drugs, most notably aspirin but also many herbicides and pharmaceutical drugs.
More to that, Phenol is a component in liquid–liquid phenol–chloroform extraction technique used in molecular biology for obtaining nucleic acids from tissues or cell culture samples.
Depending on the pH of the solution either DNA or RNA can be extracted.

Medical uses of Phenol:

Phenol is widely used as an antiseptic.
The use of Phenol was pioneered by Joseph Lister.
From the early 1900s to the 1970s Phenol was used in the production of carbolic soap.

Concentrated phenol liquids are commonly used for permanent treatment of ingrown toe and finger nails, a procedure known as a chemical matrixectomy.
The procedure was first described by Otto Boll in 1945.
Since that time Phenol has become the chemical of choice for chemical matrixectomies performed by podiatrists.

Concentrated liquid phenol can be used topically as a local anesthetic for otology procedures, such as myringotomy and tympanotomy tube placement, as an alternative to general anesthesia or other local anesthetics.
Phenol also has hemostatic and antiseptic qualities that make it ideal for this use.

Phenol spray, usually at 1.4% phenol as an active ingredient, is used medically to treat sore throat.
Further to that, Phenol is the active ingredient in some oral analgesics such as Chloraseptic spray, TCP and Carmex.

Niche uses of Phenol:

Phenol is so inexpensive that it attracts many small-scale uses.
In addition, Phenol is a component of industrial paint strippers used in the aviation industry for the removal of epoxy, polyurethane and other chemically resistant coatings.
Phenol derivatives have been used in the preparation of cosmetics including sunscreens, hair colorings, and skin lightening preparations.

However, due to safety concerns, phenol is banned from use in cosmetic products in the European Union and Canada.
Phenol is a measurable component in the aroma and taste of the distinctive Islay scotch whisky, generally ~30 ppm, but it can be over 160ppm in the malted barley used to produce whisky.
This amount is different from and presumably higher than the amount in the distillate.

The primary use of phenol is in the production of phenolic resins, which are used in the plywood, construction, automotive, and appliance industries.
Other uses of phenol include as a slimicide, as a disinfectant, and in medicinal products such as ear and nose drops, throat lozenges, and mouthwashes.

Phenol can be used as a general disinfectant, either in soln or mixed with slaked lime, etc., for toilets, stables, cesspools, floors, drains, etc.; for the manuf of colorless or light-colored artificial resins, many medical and industrial organic compds and dyes; as a reagent in chemical analysis.
Furthermore, Phenol is bacteriostatic in concentrations of approx 0.2%, bactericidal above 1%, and fungicidal above 1.3%.
Phenols are widely used in household products and as intermediates for industrial synthesis.

For example, phenol itself is used (in low concentrations) as a disinfectant in household cleaners and in mouthwash.
Phenol may have been the first surgical antiseptic.
In 1865 the British surgeon Joseph Lister used phenol as an antiseptic to sterilize his operating field.
With phenol used in this manner, the mortality rate from surgical amputations fell from 45 to 15 percent in Lister’s ward.

Phenol is quite toxic, however, and concentrated solutions cause severe but painless burns of the skin and mucous membranes.
Less-toxic phenols, such as n-hexylresorcinol, have supplanted phenol itself in cough drops and other antiseptic applications.
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) has a much lower toxicity and is a common antioxidant in foods.

In industry, phenol is used as a starting material to make plastics, explosives such as picric acid, and drugs such as aspirin.
The common phenol hydroquinone is the component of photographic developer that reduces exposed silver bromide crystals to black metallic silver.
Other substituted phenols are used in the dye industry to make intensely coloured azo dyes.
Mixtures of phenols (especially the cresols) are used as components in wood preservatives such as creosote.

Phenol is used as a general disinfectant, as a reagent in chemical analysis and for the manufacture of artificial resins, medical and industrial organic compounds and dyes.
More to that, Phenol is also used in the manufacture of fertilisers, explosives, paints and paint removers, drugs, pharmaceuticals, textiles and coke.
Phenol is produced in large volume, mostly as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals.

The largest single use of phenol is as an intermediate in the production of phenolic resins, which are low-cost, versatile, thermoset resins used in the plywood adhesive, construction, automotive, and appliance industries.
Phenol is also used as an intermediate in the production of caprolactam, which is used to make nylon and other synthetic fibres, and bisphenol A, which is used to make epoxy and other resins.
The primary use of phenol is in the production of phenolic resins, which are used in the plywood, construction, automotive, and appliance industries.

Phenol is also used in the production of caprolactam and bisphenol A, which are intermediates in the manufacture of nylon and epoxy resins, respectively.
Other uses of phenol include as a slimicide, as a disinfectant, and in medicinal products such as ear and nose drops, throat lozenges, and mouthwashes.
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic organic compound.

Pure phenol is a white crystalline solid that is volatile.
More to that, Phenol is mildly acidic and requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns.
Although similar to alcohols, phenols have unique distinguishing properties. Unlike in alcohols where the hydroxyl group is bound to a saturated carbon atom, in phenols the hydroxyl group is attached to an unsaturated aromatic (alternating double and single bond) hydrocarbon ring such as benzene.
Consequently, phenols have greater acidity than alcohols due to stabilization of the conjugate base through resonance in the aromatic ring.

Industrial uses of Phenol involve its conversion to plastics or related materials.
In research laboratories phenol, when suspended in chloroform, is commonly used in the extraction of DNA from biological samples.
The liquid-liquid extraction of aqueous samples are mixed with equal volumes of a phenol:chloroform solution.

After combining, the mixture is centrifuged and two immiscible phases form.
The less dense aqueous phase is on top, and the organic phase (phenol:chloroform) is on the bottom.

The proteins will partition into the lower organic phase while the nucleic acids (as well as other contaminants such as salts, sugars, etc.) remain in the upper aqueous phase.
If the mixture is acidic, DNA will precipitate into the organic phase while RNA remains in the aqueous phase due to DNA being more readily neutralized than RNA.
Phenol is most frequently used to produce plastic precursors, accounting for two-thirds of its total production.

Phenol is also a useful precursor to a wide range of medications like aspirin, including several herbicides and pharmaceutical drugs.
In molecular biology, phenol is a component of the liquid-liquid phenol-chloroform extraction method used to extract nucleic acids from tissue or cell culture samples.
Many people use phenol as an antiseptic.

Joseph Lister was the first to use Phenol.
For otology treatments, concentrated liquid phenol can be applied topically as a local anaesthetic.
Due to its low cost, phenol is used for numerous small-scale purposes.

In order to remove epoxy, polyurethane, and other chemically resistant coatings, Phenol is a component of industrial paint strippers used in the aviation sector.
The formulation of cosmetics has utilised phenol derivatives.
Phenol has antiseptic properties, and was used by Sir Joseph Lister (1827-1912) in his pioneering technique of antiseptic surgery, though the skin irritation caused by continual exposure to phenol eventually led to the substitution of aseptic (germ-free) techniques in surgery.

Phenol is also the active ingredient in some oral anesthetics such as Chloraseptic spray.
Further to that, Phenol was also the main ingredient of the Carbolic Smoke Ball, a device sold in London designed to protect the user against influenza and other ailments.
Phenol is also used in the production of drugs (it is the starting material in the industrial production of aspirin), herbicides, and synthetic resins (Bakelite, one of the first synthetic resins to be manufactured, is a polymer of phenol with formaldehyde).

Exposure of the skin to concentrated phenol solutions causes chemical burns which may be severe; in laboratories where it is used, it is usually recommended that polyethylene glycol solution is kept available for washing off splashes.
Washing with large amounts of plain water (most labs have a safety shower or eye-wash) and removal of contaminated clothing are required, and immediate ER treatment for large splashes; particularly if the phenol is mixed with chloroform (a commonly-used mixture in molecular biology for DNA purification).

Notwithstanding the effects of concentrated solutions, it is also used in cosmetic surgery as an exfoliant, to remove layers of dead skin.
Phenol is also used in phenolization, a surgical procedure used to treat an ingrown nail, in which it is applied to the toe to prevent regrowth of nails.

Injections of phenol have occasionally been used as a means of rapid execution.
In particular, phenol was used as a means of extermination by the Nazis during the Second World War.
Phenol injections were given to thousands of people in concentration camps, especially at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Injections were administered either by medical doctors or by their assistants; such injections were originally given intravenously, more commonly in the arm, but injection directly into the heart, so as to induce nearly instant death, was later preferred.
One of the most famous inmates at Auschwitz to be executed by carbolic acid injection was St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest who volunteered to undergo three weeks of starvation and dehydration in the place of another inmate and who was finally injected with carbolic acid so that the Nazis could make more room in their holding cells.
A use of phenol in molecular biology is the separation of genetic material (nucleic acids) (DNA & RNA) from proteins.



DESCRIPTION


Phenol consists of a hydroxyl group and a phenyl group attached to each other.
In addition, Phenol considerably dissolves in water. Earlier it was used as carbolic soap.
Phenol is mildly acidic and is corrosive to the respiratory tract, eyes, and skin.

Phenol is a crystalline solid white in colour and needs to be handled with care as it can cause chemical burns.
Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge discovered Phenol in the year 1834.
Phenol was extracted from coal tar.

Moreover, Phenol is also known as phenolic acid.
If a compound is consisting of a six-membered aromatic ring and bonded to a hydroxyl group directly, then it can be referred to as phenol.

Phenol (C6H6O or C6H5OH) is a colorless to light-pink, crystalline solid with a sweet, acrid odor.
Exposure to phenol may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and nervous system.
Some symptoms of exposure to phenol are weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, muscle aches, and pain.

Severe exposure can cause liver and/or kidney damage, skin burns, tremor, convulsions, and twitching.
Workers may be harmed from exposure to phenol.
The level of harm depends upon the dose, duration, and work being done.


Phenol is an antiseptic and disinfectant.
Furthermore, Phenol is active against a wide range of micro-organisms including some fungi and viruses, but is only slowly effective against spores.
Phenol has been used to disinfect skin and to relieve itching.

Phenol is also used as an oral analgesic or anesthetic in products such as Chloraseptic to treat pharyngitis.
Additionally, phenol and its related compounds are used in surgical ingrown toenail treatment, a process termed phenolization. Research indicates that parental exposure to phenol and its related compounds are positively associated with spontaneous abortion.
During the second world war, phenol injections were used as a means of execution by the Nazis.

Phenol is a toxic compound whose vapours are corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
More to that, Phenol (also called carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH.
Phenol is a white crystalline solid that is volatile.

The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C6H5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH).
Mildly acidic, Phenol requires careful handling because it can cause chemical burns.

Phenol is an organic compound appreciably soluble in water, with about 84.2 g dissolving in 1000 mL (0.895 M).
Homogeneous mixtures of phenol and water at phenol to water mass ratios of ~2.6 and higher are possible.
The sodium salt of phenol, sodium phenoxide, is far more water-soluble.

In carbon tetrachloride and alkane solvents phenol hydrogen bonds with a wide range of Lewis bases such as pyridine, diethyl ether, and diethyl sulfide.
The enthalpies of adduct formation and the −OH IR frequency shifts accompanying adduct formation have been studied.

Phenol is classified as a hard acid which is compatible with the C/E ratio of the ECW model with EA = 2.27 and CA = 1.07.
The relative acceptor strength of phenol toward a series of bases, versus other Lewis acids, can be illustrated by C-B plots.
Phenol is a strong nucleophile with a nucleophilicity comparable to the one of carbanions or tertiary amines.

Phenol can react at both its oxygen or carbon sites as an ambident nucleophile (see HSAB theory).
Generally, oxygen attack of Phenol is kinetically favored, while carbon-attack is thermodynamically preferred.
Mixed oxygen/carbon attack and by this a loss of selectivity is usually observed if the reaction rate reaches diffusion control.

Phenol exhibits keto-enol tautomerism with its unstable keto tautomer cyclohexadienone, but only a tiny fraction of phenol exists as the keto form.
The equilibrium constant for enolisation is approximately 10−13, which means only one in every ten trillion molecules is in the keto form at any moment.
The small amount of stabilisation gained by exchanging a C=C bond for a C=O bond is more than offset by the large destabilisation resulting from the loss of aromaticity.

Phenol therefore exists essentially entirely in the enol form.
4, 4' Substituted cyclohexadienone can undergo a dienone–phenol rearrangement in acid conditions and form stable 3,4‐disubstituted phenol.
Phenoxides are enolates stabilised by aromaticity.
Under normal circumstances, phenoxide is more reactive at the oxygen position, but the oxygen position is a "hard" nucleophile whereas the alpha-carbon positions tend to be "soft".

Phenol is highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
The enhance nucleophilicity is attributed to donation pi electron density from O into the ring.
Many groups can be attached to the ring, via halogenation, acylation, sulfonation, and related processes.

Phenol's ring is so strongly activated that bromination and chlorination lead readily to polysubstitution.
Further to that, Phenol reacts with dilute nitric acid at room temperature to give a mixture of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol while with concentrated nitric acid, additional nitro groups are introduced, e.g. to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.

Phenol is both a manufactured chemical and a natural substance.
In addition, Phenol is a colorless-to-white solid when pure.
The commercial product is a liquid.

Phenol has a distinct odor that is sickeningly sweet and tarry.
You can taste and smell phenol at levels lower than those that are associated with harmful effects.

Use 5–10 kg/acre for solid application of Phenol Crystal.



HOW TO USE PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Spray Phenol Crystal directly onto the soil early in the morning or late in the evening.
Phenol Crystal should be added to a sprayer or mixing tank that is already filled with fresh water.



OCCURRENCES OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:

BIODEGRADATION OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Cryptanaerobacter phenolicus is a bacterium species that produces benzoate from Phenol Crystal via 4-hydroxybenzoate.
Rhodococcus phenolicus is a bacterium species able to degrade Phenol Crystal as sole carbon source.



SOLUBILITY OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Phenol Crystal is soluble in water, alcohol, chloroform, ether, benzene, glycerol, acetone, carbon disulfide and aqueous alkali hydroxides.



PROPERTIES OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Phenol Crystal is an organic compound appreciably soluble in water, with about 84.2 g dissolving in 1000 mL (0.895 M).
Homogeneous mixtures of Phenol Crystal and water at phenol to water mass ratios of ~2.6 and higher are possible.
The sodium salt of Phenol Crystal, sodium phenoxide, is far more water-soluble.

Phenol Crystal is a combustible solid (NFPA rating = 2).
When heated, Phenol Crystal produces flammable vapors that are explosive at concentrations of 3 to 10% in air.
Carbon dioxide or dry chemical extinguishers should be used to fight Phenol Crystal fires.


*Acidity:
Phenol Crystal is a weak acid (pH 6.6).
In aqueous solution in the pH range ca. 8 - 12 it is in equilibrium with the phenolate anion C6H5O− (also called phenoxide or carbolate):
C6H5OH↽−−⇀C6H5O−+H+

Phenol Crystal is more acidic than aliphatic alcohols.
Phenol Crystal's enhanced acidity is attributed to resonance stabilization of phenolate anion.
In this way, the negative charge on oxygen is delocalized on to the ortho and para carbon atoms through the pi system.

An alternative explanation involves the sigma framework, postulating that the dominant effect is the induction from the more electronegative sp2 hybridised carbons; the comparatively more powerful inductive withdrawal of electron density that is provided by the sp2 system compared to an sp3 system allows for great stabilization of the oxyanion.

In support of the second explanation, the pKa of the enol of acetone in water is 10.9, making it only slightly less acidic than Phenol Crystal (pKa 10.0).
Thus, the greater number of resonance structures available to phenoxide compared to acetone enolate seems to contribute little to its stabilization.
However, the situation changes when solvation effects are excluded.


*Hydrogen bonding:
In carbon tetrachloride and in alkane solvents, Phenol Crystal hydrogen bonds with a wide range of Lewis bases such as pyridine, diethyl ether, and diethyl sulfide.
The enthalpies of adduct formation and the −OH IR frequency shifts accompanying adduct formation have been compiled.
Phenol Crystal is classified as a hard acid.



TAUTOMERISM OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Phenol Crystal exhibits keto-enol tautomerism with its unstable keto tautomer cyclohexadienone, but the effect is nearly negligible.
The equilibrium constant for enolisation is approximately 10−13, which means only one in every ten trillion molecules is in the keto form at any moment.

The small amount of stabilisation gained by exchanging a C=C bond for a C=O bond is more than offset by the large destabilisation resulting from the loss of aromaticity.

Phenol Crystal therefore exists essentially entirely in the enol form.
4, 4' Substituted cyclohexadienone can undergo a dienone–Phenol Crystal rearrangement in acid conditions and form stable 3,4‐disubstituted phenol.

For substituted Phenol Crystals, several factors can favor the keto tautomer: (a) additional hydroxy groups (see resorcinol) (b) annulation as in the formation of naphthols, and (c) deprotonation to give the phenolate.

Phenoxides are enolates stabilised by aromaticity.
Under normal circumstances, phenoxide is more reactive at the oxygen position, but the oxygen position is a "hard" nucleophile whereas the alpha-carbon positions tend to be "soft"



REACTIONS OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Phenol Crystal is highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution.
The enhanced nucleophilicity is attributed to donation pi electron density from O into the ring.
Many groups can be attached to the ring, via halogenation, acylation, sulfonation, and related processes.

Phenol Crystal is so strongly activated that bromination and chlorination lead readily to polysubstitution.
The reaction affords 2- and 4-substituted derivatives.
The regiochemistry of halogenation changes in strongly acidic solutions where PhOH2]+ predominates.

Phenol Crystal reacts with dilute nitric acid at room temperature to give a mixture of 2-nitrophenol and 4-nitrophenol while with concentrated nitric acid, additional nitro groups are introduced, e.g. to give 2,4,6-trinitrophenol.
Friedel Crafts alkylations of Phenol Crystal and its derivatives often proceed without catalysts.

Alkylating agents include alkyl halides, alkenes, and ketones.
Thus, adamantyl-1-bromide, dicyclopentadiene), and cyclohexanones give respectively 4-adamantylphenol, a bis(2-hydroxyphenyl) derivative, and a 4-cyclohexylphenols.

Alcohols and hydroperoxides alkylate Phenol Crystals in the presence of solid acid catalysts (e.g. certain zeolite).
Cresols and cumyl Phenol Crystals can be produced in that way.

Aqueous solutions of Phenol Crystal are weakly acidic and turn blue litmus slightly to red.
Phenol Crystal is neutralized by sodium hydroxide forming sodium phenate or phenolate, but being weaker than carbonic acid, it cannot be neutralized by sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate to liberate carbon dioxide.

C6H5OH + NaOH → C6H5ONa + H2O
When a mixture of Phenol Crystal and benzoyl chloride are shaken in presence of dilute sodium hydroxide solution, phenyl benzoate is formed.
This is an example of the Schotten–Baumann reaction:

C6H5COCl + HOC6H5 → C6H5CO2C6H5 + HCl
Phenol Crystal is reduced to benzene when it is distilled with zinc dust or when its vapour is passed over granules of zinc at 400 °C:

C6H5OH + Zn → C6H6 + ZnO
When Phenol Crystal is treated with diazomethane in the presence of boron trifluoride (BF3), anisole is obtained as the main product and nitrogen gas as a byproduct.

C6H5OH + CH2N2 → C6H5OCH3 + N2
Phenol Crystal and its derivatives react with iron(III) chloride to give intensely colored solutions containing phenoxide complexes.



PRODUCTION OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Because of Phenol Crystal's commercial importance, many methods have been developed for its production, but the cumene process is the dominant technology.


*Cumene process:
Accounting for 95% of production (2003) is the cumene process, also called Hock process.
It involves the partial oxidation of cumene (isopropylbenzene) via the Hock rearrangement: Compared to most other processes, the cumene process uses mild conditions and inexpensive raw materials.

For the process to be economical, both Phenol Crystal and the acetone by-product must be in demand.
In 2010, worldwide demand for acetone was approximately 6.7 million tonnes, 83 percent of which was satisfied with acetone produced by the cumene process.

A route analogous to the cumene process begins with cyclohexylbenzene.
It is oxidized to a hydroperoxide, akin to the production of cumene hydroperoxide.

Via the Hock rearrangement, cyclohexylbenzene hydroperoxide cleaves to give Phenol Crystal and cyclohexanone.
Cyclohexanone is an important precursor to some nylons.


*Oxidation of benzene, toluene, cyclohexylbenzene:
The direct oxidation of benzene (C6H6) to Phenol Crystal is theoretically possible and of great interest, but it has not been commercialized:

C6H6 + O → C6H5OH
Nitrous oxide is a potentially "green" oxidant that is a more potent oxidant than O2.
Routes for the generation of nitrous oxide however remain uncompetitive.

An electrosynthesis employing alternating current gives Phenol Crystal from benzene.
The oxidation of toluene, as developed by Dow Chemical, involves copper-catalyzed reaction of molten sodium benzoate with air:

C6H5CH3 + 2 O2 → C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O
The reaction is proposed to proceed via formation of benzyoylsalicylate.
Autoxidation of cyclohexylbenzene give the hydroperoxide. Decomposition of this hydroperoxide affords cyclohexanone and Phenol Crystal.


*Older methods:
Early methods relied on extraction of Phenol Crystal from coal derivatives or the hydrolysis of benzene derivatives.


**Hydrolysis of benzenesulfonic acid
The original commercial route was developed by Bayer and Monsanto in the early 1900s, based on discoveries by Wurtz and Kekule.
The method involves the reaction of strong base with benzenesulfonic acid, proceeding by the reaction of hydroxide with sodium benzenesulfonate to give sodium phenoxide.

Acidification of the latter gives Phenol Crystal.
The net conversion is:

C6H5SO3H + 2 NaOH → C6H5OH + Na2SO3 + H2O
Hydrolysis of chlorobenzene
Chlorobenzene can be hydrolyzed to Phenol Crystal using base (Dow process) or steam (Raschig–Hooker process):

C6H5Cl + NaOH → C6H5OH + NaCl
C6H5Cl + H2O → C6H5OH + HCl
These methods suffer from the cost of the chlorobenzene and the need to dispose of the chloride by product.


**Coal pyrolysis
Phenol Crystal is also a recoverable byproduct of coal pyrolysis.
In the Lummus Process, the oxidation of toluene to benzoic acid is conducted separately.


**Miscellaneous methods
Phenyldiazonium salts hydrolyze to Phenol Crystal.
The method is of no commercial interest since the precursor is expensive.

C6H5NH2 + HCl + NaNO2 → C6H5OH + N2 + H2O + NaCl
Salicylic acid decarboxylates to Phenol Crystal.



HISTORY OF PHENOL CRYSTAL:
Phenol Crystal was discovered in 1834 by Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge, who extracted it (in impure form) from coal tar.
Runge called Phenol Crystal "Karbolsäure" (coal-oil-acid, carbolic acid).
Coal tar remained the primary source until the development of the petrochemical industry.

French chemist Auguste Laurent extracted Phenol Crystal in its pure form, as a derivative of benzene, in 1841.
In 1836, Auguste Laurent coined the name "phène" for benzene; this is the root of the word "Phenol Crystal" and "phenyl".
In 1843, French chemist Charles Gerhardt coined the name "phénol".

The antiseptic properties of Phenol Crystal were used by Sir Joseph Lister in his pioneering technique of antiseptic surgery.
Lister decided that the wounds had to be thoroughly cleaned.
He then covered the wounds with a piece of rag or lint covered in Phenol Crystal.

The skin irritation caused by continual exposure to Phenol Crystal eventually led to the introduction of aseptic (germ-free) techniques in surgery.
Lister's work was inspired by the works and experiments of his contemporary Louis Pasteur in sterilizing various biological media.
He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur.

Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection.
Meanwhile, in Carlisle, England, officials were experimenting with sewage treatment using carbolic acid to reduce the smell of sewage cesspools.
Having heard of these developments, and having previously experimented with other chemicals for antiseptic purposes without much success, Lister decided to try carbolic acid as a wound antiseptic.

He had his first chance on August 12, 1865, when he received a patient: an eleven-year-old boy with a tibia bone fracture which pierced the skin of his lower leg.
Ordinarily, amputation would be the only solution.

However, Lister decided to try carbolic acid.
After setting the bone and supporting the leg with splints, he soaked clean cotton towels in undiluted carbolic acid and applied them to the wound, covered with a layer of tin foil, leaving them for four days.

When he checked the wound, Lister was pleasantly surprised to find no signs of infection, just redness near the edges of the wound from mild burning by the carbolic acid.
Reapplying fresh bandages with diluted carbolic acid, the boy was able to walk home after about six weeks of treatment.

By 16 March 1867, when the first results of Lister's work were published in the Lancet, he had treated a total of eleven patients using his new antiseptic method.
Of those, only one had died, and that was through a complication that was nothing to do with Lister's wound-dressing technique.
Now, for the first time, patients with compound fractures were likely to leave the hospital with all their limbs intact

Chemical Properties of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is a mixture of ortho and para isomers. It is a yellow-coloured liquid and on exposure to air turns brown in colour. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is soluble in alcohol and is used as a laboratory reagent, in water analysis and in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is a combustible material, but does not ignite readily. On heating, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) emits vapours, which may form explosive mixtures with air and cause explosion hazards. Also, on contact with metals, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) emits flammable hydrogen gas and the containers cause explosion. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) reacts exothermically with chemical bases, for example, amines and inorganic hydroxides to form salts. Most of the Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) produced is used as an additive for electroplating baths. By comparison, the acid is relatively unimportant as a dye intermediate. With ethylene oxide it can be reacted to form poly(ethoxy)oxyPhenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID), which can be used as a plasticizer and emulsifier. Crude Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is used as such in the manufacture of synthetic tanning agents. Condensation products of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) mixtures with formaldehyde improve the dyeing properties of polyamide fibers. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) and 2-halogenomalonic esters form the corresponding ethers, which are used in the manufacture of polyesters with improved affinity for basic dyes. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID)'s production and subsequent use mainly as an additive for electroplating baths could result in its release to the environment. If released to the atmosphere, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will exist in both the vapor phase and in the particulate phase based on an estimated vapor pressure of 3.33X10-7 mm Hg. In the vapor phase, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will react fairly rapidly with hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of 2 days. Particulate phase Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) may be removed physically from air by wet and dry deposition. Based on an estimated Koc of 3, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) should have very high mobility in soil and as this compound is miscible in water, leaching may occur. In moist soils, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is expected to dissociate. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) should biodegrade under aerobic conditions; using a soil inoculum, this compound required 32 days for complete biodegradation. In water, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is expected to dissociate. Biodegradation will occur slowly. Using an unacclimated activated sludge inoculum, a period of 190-195 hours was required for complete biodegradation. This time period included a 76-95 hour lag time suggesting that an initial acclimatization period prior to biodegradation of this compound is necessary. Other studies using higher concentrations of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID), a shorter time period (1 hour to 70 hours), and microorganisms acclimated to either benzene or Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) showed no biodegradation of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID). This compound is not expected to bioconcentrate in aquatic organisms or to volatilize from water surfaces. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID)'s production and subsequent use mainly as an additive for electroplating baths(1), but also in the manufacture of synthetic tanning agents(1), as a chemical intermediate used to improve the dyeing properties of polyamide fibers(1) or used in the manufacture of polyesters with improved affinity for basic dyes(1), and during its use in the process of granulation of blast furnace slag(2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).TERRESTRIAL FATE: An estimated Koc of 3.0(1,SRC), based on an estimated log Kow(2,SRC) indicates that Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will have very high mobility in soil(3,SRC). As this compound is miscible in water(4), leaching may be an important fate process(SRC). In moist soils Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) should quickly dissociate(5,SRC). Biodegradation of this compound may be an important fate process; Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at 75 ug/l showed complete degradation within 32 days using a soil inoculum(6). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at 100 mg/l was biodegraded by an activated sludge inoculum over 14 days(7). A long lag period of 76-95 hours was measured with complete biodegradation requiring a total of 190 to 195 hours; these results suggested that Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is biodegraded completely over a long time by acclimatized microorganisms(7). Other aerobic biodegradation experiments using higher concentrations of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) (500 mg/l) and shorter incubation times (70 hours) determined that Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was not biodegraded under these conditions(8,9). Under anaerobic conditions, using an aquifer slurry as an inoculum, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at 35 mg/l was not biodegraded over a period of 13 months(10). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will not volatilize from moist soil surfaces(SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.62X10-13 atm-cu/mole(11). AQUATIC FATE: If released to water, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is expected to dissociate(1). Aerobic biodegradation is expected to be a major fate process for Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at 100 mg/l was incubated over 14 days with a non-acclimatized activated sludge inoculum. Complete biodegradation required 190-195 hours including a 76-95 hour lag time; this indicates that an initial acclimatization period prior to biodegradation of this compound is necessary(2). When inoculated with an activated sludge culture which was acclimatized to benzene, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID), at a concentration of 500 mg/l, was not biodegraded within the time period of 70 hours(3). A pure culture of Pseudomonas H-8, a known benzene sulfonate oxidizer isolated from pond water, was unable to biodegrade Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) over an unreported period of time(4). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at 35 mg/l was not biodegraded under anaerobic conditions for a 13 month period using an aquifer slurry as an inoculum(5). An estimated BCF value of 0 indicates that Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will not bioconcentrate in an aquatic system(6,7,SRC). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces(SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.62X10-13 atm-cu/mole (8). ATMOSPHERIC FATE: Based on an estimated vapor pressure of 3.33X10-7 mm Hg at 25 °C(1,SRC), Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will exist both in the vapor phase and in the particulate phase(2,SRC). In the vapor phase it will degrade fairly rapidly by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of about 2 days(3,SRC). Particulate phase Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) may be removed physically from air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at a concentration of 75 ug/ml was incubated aerobically with a mixed culture of soil microorganisms for a time period ranging from 3 hours to 64 days. Total loss of this compound, followed by measuring the loss in absorbance of the benzene ring, was complete within 32 days(1). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at a concentration of 100 mg/l was incubated over 14 days with a non-acclimated activated sludge inoculum(2). The degradation ratio of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) (at 100 mg/l), defined as the BOD/Theoretical BOD, was determined to be 0.76 to 0.78; a lag time of 76-95 hours was measured, total biodegradation of this compound required 190-195 hours including the lag period(2). This indicates that this compound is biodegraded completely over a long time by acclimated microorganisms(2). No biodegradation of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) at a concentration of 500 mg/l was seen over a period of one hour using a pure culture of Pseudomonas acclimatized to p-toluenesulfonate as its sole carbon and sulfur source(1). A pure culture of Pseudomonas strain H-8, a known benzene sulfonate oxidizer isolated from pond water, was unable to grow when given Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID), at an unreported concentration, as the sole carbon source(2). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was not biodegraded using the agar plate method after a few days by a pure culture isolated for its ability to biodegrade Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID)(3). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID), present at a concentration of 500 mg/l, was not used as a carbon source over a period of 70 hours using activated sludge acclimatized to benzene as an inoculum under aerobic conditions(2). In a compilation of chemicals, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is listed as a chemical which should be degradable by biological sewage treatment provided suitable acclimatization of the microbial population is reached(2). The biodegradability of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was measured under anaerobic conditions using two aquifer slurries, one from a sulfate reducing site, the other from a methanogenic site. Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was added at a concentration of 200 uM to a slurry from each site and monitored from 0 to 13 months. Under sulfate reducing conditions, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was present at 188 uM and at 198 uM after 0 to 13 months respectively. Under methanogenic conditions, Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) was present at 194 uM and at 235 uM after 0 to 13 months respectively(3). The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated to be 7.40X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(1,SRC). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life for Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) of about 2 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals/cu cm(1,SRC). Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID)s are strong acids which almost completely dissociate in aqueous solution(2). The Henry's Law constant for Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) is estimated as 2.62X10-13 atm-cu/mole(1,SRC). This indicates that Phenol sulfonic acid (fenol sülfonik asit, phenol sulphonic acid, PHENOL SULFONIC ACID) will essentially not volatilize from water surfaces(2).

Phenonip acts as a preservative blend. Phenonip is effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts and moulds. Phenonip has an excellent toxicological profile and is non-irritant to skin, eye and mucous membranes at normal use concentrations. Phenonip is used in all kinds of personal care products specially in wet wipes. Phenonip and similar mixed preservatives have been successfully used to protect most types of personal care products from microbial contamination. This liquid preservative is used to inhibit microbial growth in your creams lotions and salt/sugar scrubs. As with other preservations the correct use concentration depends upon several factors including the chemical and physical nature of the product its ability to support microbial growth and the likelihood of recontamination during use. Experience has shown that Phenonip will preserve many cosmetics and toiletries when incorporated at concentrations from 0.25% to 1.0%. This blend of preservatives is highly effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria yeasts and moulds and is suitable for Moisturisers Lotions and Creams Sugar Scrubs Conditioners to name but a few. The higher concentrations are typically only required for formulations which by their nature are particularly difficult to preserve. >Emulsified systems both o/w and w/o types may be effectively preserved by the addition of this preservative at 0.4 - 0.7%. Whilst emulsions based on non-ionic surfactants may require slightly increased concentrations eg. 0.5 - 1.0%. Shampoos and foam baths may be preserved with concentrations typically between 0.25 - 0.65%. Products with a high protein content may require levels from 0.5% - 1.0%. Other surfactant-based products for example liquid dishwashing detergents are generally preserved levels over the range 0.2% - 0.6%. Phenonip is more suitable than Germaben II for products that are manufactured at higher temperature ranges. Phenonip should only be added below 100 °C degrees when adding to the recipe. Phenonip is not a formaldehyde donor. Parabens Parabens are preservatives and widely used in mainstream beauty products and can be added to the oil phase of formulation. Phenonip is a common oil-soluble, broad-spectrum, paraben-based preservative. If you want to preserve an oil-based sugar scrub that might come in contact with water, phenonip is a good choice. You can add this to the oil phase of your lotions. Preservatives are ingredients you add to your skin care formulas to prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast and fungi. Some preservatives, like Germall Plus, Otiphen, or Phenonip are broad spectrum, which means they protect against all three. Preservatives can also be limited, like potassium sorbate or natural botanicals. These can be used alone or combined with other preservatives to achieve broad spectrum protection. Phenonip, is an effective broad spectrum preservative that provides activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts and molds, and retains activity in the presence of most cosmetic ingredients. It is an excellent choice for many cosmetic and personal care applications, especially oil-based products. It works across a broad range of formulating spectrums, and is also effective in aqueous solutions, Oil-in-water, water-in-oil & all oil formulations. So whether you are formulating lotions, creams, balms, scrubs, or even shampoos, and body washes Phrnonip may be an excellent choice as a preservative. Phenonip is a synergistic blend of esters of para-hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) in phenoxyethanol designed for preservation of a wide range of cosmetics and toiletries. INCI: Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben Usage levels of Phenonipmay vary depending on your exact formula. Phenonip will preserve cosmetics and toiletries when incorporated at concentrations from 0.25 % to 1 %. The higher concentrations are generally required only for formulations which are particularly difficult to preserve. Phenoip is 100% oil-soluble and is not very water Soluble (see info below ) in water, but works well in emulsified systems. Phenonip can be readily dissolved in a liquid phase prior to emulsification. Depending on your formulation, it may be effective to split the amount you will use in to two phases between the water & oil phases during their preparation (ie when making a cream or butter product, add .5% to water phase & .5% to oil phase). For aqueous formulations, like shampoos that are cold blended you can add Phenonip by adding it to a suitable solvent like propylene glycol or glycerin, and stirring this concentrate into the water. Usage Levels of Phenonip In Aqueous systems / formulations like shampoos and foam baths may be preserved with Phenonip at concentrations between 0.25 % to 0.65 %. However, products with high protein content may require levels from 0.5 % - 1 %. Other surfactant- based formulations, for example liquid dishwashing detergents, are generally preserved with Phenonip over the range 0.2 %- 0.6 %. Emulsified systems, both O/W and W/O types, may be effectively preserved by Phenonip at 0.4 %- 0.7 %. Phenonip can also be used to preserve emulsions based on nonionic surfactants, but slightly increased concentrations may be required, e.g. increase usage to 0.5 -1 %.

Phenonip is permitted for Japan up to 1.33 %, no further restrictions. Phenonip is considered safe as used (CIR 2006). Storage instructions The product must be protected from excessively high and low temperatures during storage. Although Phenonip provides excellent antimicrobial preservation, testing should be done to assure preservative efficacy, and this applies to all preservative systems. Phenonip was designed with cosmetics in mind and is especially effective in preventing bacteria, mold and fungal growth. It is especially effective in oil-based products, but also works well in aqueous solutions. Broad spectrum, liquid preservative ideal in variety of personal care applications, including oil-in-water, water-in-oil & all oil formulations such as lotions, creams, shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, scrubs and balms. It can be used in emulsions and anhydrous formulations. Effective in pH range of 3.0 - 8.0. Phenonip withstands high temperatures up to 176 F and is preferred over Germaben II for high temp applications. Phenonip can be added to the aqueous phase readily. It is 100% oil-soluble & .5% soluble in water. In emulsified systems, Phenonip is readily dissolved in the liquid phase prior to emulsification, although it is often good practice to divide the Phenonip content between the water & oil phases during their preparation (ie for lotion, add .5% to water phase & .5% to oil phase). If the water content of the formulation is low, it may not be convenient to add the preservative directly to water during manufacture. Heating the water to 140-176F prior to Phenonip addition will, in most instances, allow the appropriate quantity to be dissolved. For aqueous systems which cannot be heated, Phenonip can be incorporated by preparing a concentrate in a suitable solvent, e.g. propylene glycol or glycerin, and stirring this concentrate into the water. Emulsified systems, both o/w and w/o types, may be effectively preserved by the addition of Phenonip. Although Phenonip provides excellent antimicrobial preservation, individual testing should be done to assure preservative efficacy. Recommended usage of Phenonip: 0.5 - 1% Appearance of Phenonip: Clear, viscous liquid Formaldehyde Free INCI of Phenonip: Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben Phenonip Phenonip is a combination of phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben and propylparaben. Have you noticed all the parabens? So basically phenohip is a group of parabens mixed with phenoxyethanol. As mentioned earlier in Part I, phenoxyethanol, also known as ethelyne glycol phenyl ether 11 glycol ether and glycol ethers are solvents used in paints and cleaning agents, 12 as well as preservatives in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. As stated previously, Phenoxyethanol is part of a family of chemically related compounds known as ethehelene glycol ethors, as research shows that there is evidence that this chemical is toxic to the liver and kidney, 13 and can lead to anemia. 14 For more information on the dangers of ethylene glycol ethers and their family members, see section 1 of the sequence. The dangers of many paraben species were also discussed in the first part. Phenonip was designed with cosmetics in mind and is especially effective in preventing bacteria, mold and fungal growth.

This preservative is more suitable than Germaben II for products that are manufactured at higher temperature ranges. Temperature should be below 200F degrees when added to recipe. Phenonip is not a formaldehyde donor. Use at a rate of .5 -1.0% of the total weight of your product.While volume vs. weight measurements vary, these measurements may help you if you don't have a scale handy.Cosmetics and toiletries are a popular protective blend in the industry. It is the product of a comprehensive investigation of the combination of Nipa esters, optimized by Nipa in a convenient liquid form. It is an optimal blend of paraben esters in phenoxyethanol. In addition to the most effective ratio of the esters, an antimicrobial solvent option raises the activity spectrum, reducing the use concentration to a minimum. Benefits: - Broad spectrum activity; gram positive, gram negative bacteria, efficacy against yeast and seeds. - Easily incorporated into formulations. - pH: Does not lose its activity in the range of 3-8. - Compatible with a wide range of cosmetic raw materials. - It is not volatile, it does not lose any protection even in long-term storage. - Old-fashioned stable; aqueous solutions can withstand autoclave sterilization without loss of activity. - Has an excellent toxicological profile and is not irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. - Their composition is biodegradable. - Phenonip has not been tested on animals that are longer than 10 years. - Phenonip's components spontaneously sprout in a variety of plants and animals. Applications: Many types of personal care products are successfully used to protect microbial contamination. Similar to other preservatives, the correct use concentration depends on the ability to support microbial growth, including the chemical and physical properties of the product, and the likelihood of recoiling during use. Experiments have shown that cosmetics and toiletries are retained when added at concentrations ranging from 0.25 to 1.0%. Higher concentrations are generally necessary for natural formulations that are difficult to maintain. Shampoos and bath foams can typically be stored at concentrations of 0.25-0.65% with Phenonip. High protein content may require 0.5-1.0%. Other surfactant-based products (eg liquid dishwashing detergents) are usually preserved at concentrations of 0.2-0.6% of phenonip.Emulsified systems can be effectively protected by adding both o / w and w / o types of Phenonip between 0.4-0.7%. Phenonip may be used to protect non-ionic surfactant-based emulsions, but slightly increasing concentrations may be required (eg, 0.5-1%). Note: The effectiveness of Phenonip in the control of gram negative bacteria guided the use of Phenonip in some skin antiseptic products where traditional antiseptic agents have a weakness in their activity spectrum against these organisms. Usage: Phenonip can easily be added to the limit of the solubility limit. The relatively low aqueous solubility of the phenonip means that if the water content of the formulation is low, it is not feasible to add the preservative directly to the water during production. Heating the water to about 60-70 ° C before the phenonip is added allows the appropriate amount to be dissolved many times. For non-heatable aqueous systems, a concentrate of Phenonip in a suitable solvent (e.g., in propylene glycol) can be added by mixing it into the water to provide a final concentration below the maximum water solubility of the phenonip in water. Emulsification systems; Phenonip is readily dissolved in the liquid phase prior to emulsification, although separation of the Phenonip content between the aqueous and lipid phases during the preparation is good practice.In surfactant and detergent-based products, phenonip may be dissolved in the surfactant prior to addition of water and other components. About the product All Natural Presevative - Broadspectrum preservative for Shampoo, lotion, cream etc. Preservative was designed with cosmetics in mind Can be used as a replacement for Optiphen Clear solution - mixes well in lotion making. - Great for waterbased sollutions. Nanosuspensions as aqueous formulations need to be preserved. However, preservatives could vitiate the physical stability of suspensions and to a greater extent nanosuspensions. The impact of six varied preservatives on the physical stability of previously prepared nanosuspensions was studied. The hesperetin nanosuspensions were stabilized using plantacare 2000.30 cycles of high pressure homogenization (HPH) led to a mean photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) diameter of 335 nm. The preservatives were, caprylyl glycol, Euxyl PE9010, Hydrolite-5, MultiEx naturotics, Phenonip and Rokonsal PB5. On one hand, aggregations were noticed after adding caprylyl glycol, MultiEx naturotics and Phenonip reaching PCS mean diameters of about 500, 1070, 800 nm, respectively. While on the other hand Euxyl PE9010, Hydrolite-5 and Rokonsal PB5 have not significantly affected the physical stability of the nanosuspensions with mean PCS diameters of about 365, 332, 350 nm, respectively. The obtained nanosuspensions were further characterized by measuring zeta potential. From the obtained data it was found that the lipophilicity of the used preservatives demonstrates major influence on the stability of the nanosuspensions, i.e. the higher lipophilicity of the preservative, the stronger the destabilizing effect. Briefly, highly hydrophilic preservatives are recommended to preserve hesperetin nanosuspensions in order to maintain their physical stability during storage. Phenonip, is an effective broad spectrum preservative that provides activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts and molds, and retains activity in the presence of most cosmetic ingredients. It is an excellent choice for many cosmetic and personal care applications, especially oil-based products.

Depending on your formulation, it may be effective to split the amount you will use in to two phases between the water & oil phases during their preparation (ie when making a cream or butter product, add .5% to water phase & .5% to oil phase).For aqueous formulations, like shampoos that are cold blended you can add Phenonip by adding it to a suitable solvent like propylene glycol or glycerin, and stirring this concentrate into the water.Usage Levels In Aqueous systems / formulations like shampoos and foam baths may be preserved with Phenonip at concentrations between 0.25 % to 0.65 %. However, products with high protein content may require levels from 0.5 % - 1 %. Other surfactant- based formulations, for example liquid dishwashing detergents, are generally preserved with Phenonip over the range 0.2 %- 0.6 %. Emulsified systems, both O/W and W/O types, may be effectively preserved by Phenonip at 0.4 %- 0.7 %. Phenonip can also be used to preserve emulsions based on nonionic surfactants, but slightly increased concentrations may be required, e.g. increase usage to 0.5 -1 %.

Phenoxetol is not a fixative and usually samples should be prefixed in Formalin before immersion in Propylene Phenoxetol.

Skin
Is Phenoxetol safe to use in skin care? Generally, yes.
Although there is research that says phenoxyethanol can cause irritation– and in some cases, even hives– Phenoxetol's important to note that those studies are generally looking at large concentrations of phenoxyethanol used over long periods of time.

Production
Phenoxetol is produced by the hydroxyethylation of phenol (Williamson synthesis), for example, in the presence of alkali-metal hydroxides or alkali-metal borohydrides.
Phenoxetol has a long history of use, with its discovery credited to the German chemist Otto Schott in the early 20th century.
Since then, Phenoxetol has been extensively studied and applied in various industries.

Phenoxy Ethanol Phenoxy ethanol is a germicidal and germistatic glycol ether, phenol ether, and aromatic alcohol often used together with quaternary ammonium compounds. Use of Phenoxy ethanol Phenoxy ethanol is used as a perfume fixative; an insect repellent; an antiseptic; a solvent for cellulose acetate, dyes, inks, and resins; a preservative for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and lubricants; an anesthetic in fish aquaculture; and in organic synthesis. Phenoxy ethanol is an alternative to formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.[4] In Japan and the EU, its concentration in cosmetics is restricted to 1%. Production of Phenoxy ethanol Phenoxy ethanol is produced by the hydroxyethylation of phenol (Williamson synthesis), for example, in the presence of alkali-metal hydroxides or alkali-metal borohydrides. Efficacy of Phenoxy ethanol Phenoxy ethanol is effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and the yeast Candida albicans.[6] Phenoxy ethanol by Lanxess is used as a crosslinking agent. Phenoxy ethanol is effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi. Phenoxy ethanol complies with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for indirect food contact use in adhesives. Safety Phenoxyethanol is a vaccine preservative and potential allergen, which may result in a nodular reaction at the site of injection.[8] It reversibly inhibits NMDAR-mediated ion currents.[9] Ingestion may cause central nervous system and respiratory depression, vomiting and diarrhea in infants, particularly when combined with chlorphenesin. What is phenoxy ethanol? Phenoxy ethanol is a preservative used in many cosmetics and personal care products. You may have a cabinet full of products containing this ingredient in your home, whether you know it or not. Chemically, phenoxy ethanol is known as a glycol ether, or in other words, a solvent. CosmeticsInfo.org describes Phenoxy ethanol as "an oily, slightly sticky liquid with a faint rose-like scent." You likely come into contact with this chemical on a regular basis. But is it safe? The evidence is mixed. We'll review the most relevant scientific research about this common cosmetics ingredient. You can decide whether you'd like to keep or banish it from your personal care products arsenal. How's Phenoxy ethanol used? Many mainstream and boutique cosmetics products contain Phenoxy ethanol. Phenoxy ethanol's often used as a preservative or stabilizer for other ingredients that might otherwise deteriorate, spoil, or become less effective too quickly. Phenoxy ethanol is also used in other industries, including in vaccines and textiles. This article focuses on Phenoxy ethanol's role in topical cosmetics. Perhaps most famously in the public consciousness, Phenoxy ethanol was used in Mommy Bliss brand nipple cream. In 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)Trusted Source recalled it as unsafe for breastfeeding infants, due to concerns about how it affects their central nervous system. Why is it added to cosmetics? In perfumes, fragrances, soaps, and cleansers, Phenoxy ethanol works as a stabilizer. In other cosmetics, Phenoxy ethanol's used as an antibacterial and/or a preservative to prevent products from losing their potency or spoiling. When combined with another chemical, some evidence indicates that it's effective at reducing acne. One 2008 study on 30 human subjects with inflammatory acne showed that after six weeks of twice-daily applications, more than half of the subjects saw a 50 percent improvement in their number of pimples. Manufacturers who want to avoid using parabens, which have recently lost favor among health-conscious consumers, might use Phenoxy ethanol in their products as a substitute. But is Phenoxy ethanol safer than parabens for topical use in humans? ADVERTISEMENT Get Answers from a Doctor in Minutes, Anytime Have medical questions? Connect with a board-certified, experienced doctor online or by phone. Pediatricians and other specialists available 24/7. Is phenoxy ethanol safe? Deciding whether or not you want to use products with this chemical is a complicated decision. There's conflicting data about its safety. Most of the concern stems from recorded incidents of bad skin reactions and nervous system interaction in infants. Possible health concerns Allergies and skin irritation In humans Phenoxy ethanol is known to cause allergic-type reactions on the skin in some people. Some argue that these bad reactions are the result of allergies in the test subjects. Others argue that it's simply a skin irritant that affects different people at different levels. Phenoxy ethanol is used as a preservative in cosmetic products and also as a stabilizer in perfumes and soaps.[1] Exposure to Phenoxy ethanol has been linked to reactions ranging from eczema[2] to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions.[3] Infant oral exposure to Phenoxy ethanol can acutely affect nervous system function.[4] FOUND IN: Moisturizer, eye shadow, foundation, sunscreen, conditioner, mascara, eye liner, shampoo, lip gloss, concealer, body wash, hand cream, blush, hair color, hair spray, lip balm, lotion, nail polish, baby wipes, baby lotions and soaps, soap (liquid and bar), shaving cream, deodorant, toothpaste, fragrance, hair removal waxes, hand sanitizer and ultrasound gel. WHAT TO LOOK FOR ON THE LABEL: Phenoxy ethanol, 2-Phenoxy ethanol, Euxyl K® 400 (mixture of Phenoxy ethanol and 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane), PhE WHAT IS Phenoxy ethanol? Phenoxy ethanol is used as a preservative in cosmetic products to limit bacterial growth. A review of 43 cosmetic products demonstrated that only 25 percent of the products had concentrations of Phenoxy ethanol greater than 0.6 percent and the mean concentration of Phenoxy ethanol was 0.46 percent.[5] Phenoxy ethanol is also used as to stabilize components found in perfumes and soaps. VULNERABLE POPULATIONS: Individuals allergic to Phenoxy ethanol and breast-feeding infants. REGULATIONS: The European Economic Community (EEC) Cosmetics Derivative[13] and the Cosmetics Regulation of the European Union approved Phenoxy ethanol in concentrations up to one percent. [14] HOW TO AVOID: Infants should not be exposed to cosmetic products containing Phenoxy ethanol. If you are allergic, read labels and avoid personal care products and vaccines with Phenoxy ethanol and since parabens may enhance the allergic effects of Phenoxy ethanol, skip products containing both chemicals. If you are not allergic, Phenoxy ethanol is a relatively safe preservative in regard to chronic health effects. What it is: Phenoxy ethanol can be found naturally in green tea, but the commercial ingredient is synthetically produced in a laboratory creating what’s termed a “nature identical” chemical. Specifically, it’s created by treating phenol with ethylene oxide in an alkaline medium which all reacts to form a pH-balanced ingredient. What it does: Fights bacteria. Most personal care products are made with a lot of water and a variety of nutrients (consider all of the natural oils and botanicals in Honest products!) which makes an incredibly hospitable breeding ground for microorganisms. What’s worse – the product might smell and look just fine, but be swarming with bacteria or fungi that are dangerous to your health. Effective preservatives are vital for ensuring safety! Why we use it: We use Phenoxy ethanol in a very low concentration as a preservative in 5 of our products (Stain Remover, Multi-Surface Spray, Dish Soap, Hand Soap & Laundry Detergent) because the most accessible alternatives for these types of formulas include parabens and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives. Both are classes of chemicals with demonstrable evidence of potential health risks, whereas Phenoxy ethanol is very safe at low levels. It’s been tested on the skin and eyes and it is non-irritating and non-sensitizing at levels of 2.2% or lower while being effective at only 1% concentrations. The European Union and Japan both approve its use up to that 1% level and our formulas fall well below the recommendation at 0.5% or less (depending on the specific product). Even better, Phenoxy ethanol doesn’t react with other ingredients, air or light. This kind of stability makes it an especially effective preservative. We’d like to point out a study that helped inform our decision to use it – a study conducted on pre-term newborn babies finding a Phenoxy ethanol-based antiseptic as the preferred, gentle formula that’s quickly metabolized by even a premature baby’s system. As certain skin care ingredients fall out of favor with consumers, brands have been switching up their formulas to accommodate the demand. And often, this involves ditching the parabens and using a chemical called Phenoxy ethanol instead. But what is Phenoxy ethanol, exactly? And is it even safe? What is Phenoxy ethanol? According to board-certified dermatologist Kiran Mian, D.O., Phenoxy ethanol is a preservative that's used in cosmetics, perfumes, and toiletries. It's colorless, oily, and has a rose-like odor. Chemically speaking, it's an ether alcohol that's naturally found in green tea. But most of the Phenoxy ethanol you'll come across is synthesized in a lab. On that note, you probably use this chemical more often than you think. About 23.9% of personal products contain Phenoxy ethanol, so it's a pretty common preservative. It's likely in most of your products, from leave-on cosmetics (like lipsticks) to rinse-off formulas (like cleansers). And you're probably about to see a lot more of it, too. With the increasing popularity of paraben-free products, many skin care brands have used Phenoxy ethanol in place of parabens. It can be listed on a label under several names, including 2-Phenoxy ethanol, phenoxytol, ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, and 1-hydroxy-2-phenoxyethane. What is Phenoxy ethanol used for in skin care? In skin care, Phenoxy ethanol is used to enhance the quality, safety, and effectiveness of a product. Here's how it works: 1. It prevents microbial growth. Although it may sound unpleasant, your cosmetic products double as the perfect home (and food) for harmful microorganisms. It's all thanks to water and organic/inorganic compounds, which is found in basically every product. Phenoxy ethanol helps by preventing the growth of bacteria, yeast, and mold, says Jessie Cheung, M.D., board-certified dermatologist. It fights bacteria by making holes in their membranes, which essentially makes them implode, adds Mian. Phenoxy ethanol also disrupts DNA and RNA synthesis in bacteria and yeast, so it's impossible for them to reproduce, she notes. In turn, these microbes can't multiply and contaminate your beloved skin care products. 2. It stabilizes products. "Phenoxy ethanol is compatible with many other preservatives," says Cheung, and it doesn't react with light or air. Therefore, it's used to prevent ingredients from breaking down or separating, helping your product stay stable. What's more, Phenoxy ethanol itself is stable at a wide range of pHs, notes Cheung, so it works well in a variety of formulas. 3. It enhances the shelf life of your products. As a preservative, Phenoxy ethanol is ultimately used to extend a product's lifespan. Its antimicrobial and stabilizing properties protect the formula from spoilage, which would render the product useless—and unsafe. This increases the length of time you can enjoy the product without any issues. (It's still smart to check the expiration date, though!) Are there any side effects? Phenoxy ethanol is generally recognized as a safe, well-tolerated preservative. Yet, there have been a few reports of this substance causing adverse effects. In a 2010 case study, a woman developed an allergic reaction—in the form of hives and anaphylaxis—after using a skin care product with Phenoxy ethanol. The researchers did a specific Phenoxy ethanol skin test and found that she was allergic to the preservative. There was also a 2015 report of Phenoxy ethanol causing irritation. The preservative, which was applied via ultrasound gel, led to contact dermatitis. Also, in 2008, the FDA issued a warning "for a nipple cream containing Phenoxy ethanol and chlorphenesin, another preservative [that causes] central nervous system effects, as the two ingredients could synergistically increase the risk of respiratory depression in nursing infants," says Cheung. Finally, in animal studies, Phenoxy ethanol has caused negative effects at very high doses. However, any potential toxicity happens at exposure levels much higher—around 200 times more—than what's used in cosmetics. It's also worth noting that reports of side effects are rare—extremely rare. (Consider them the exception, not the rule.) When used at the low concentrations (less than 1%) found in cosmetics, Phenoxy ethanol is unlikely to cause harmful or unpleasant outcomes. Who shouldn't use it? "Even though Phenoxy ethanol is regarded as low-risk, you can be sensitized to any chemical," explains Cheung. So, if you have sensitive skin, she recommends proceeding with caution when using any new skin care products—including those with Phenoxy ethanol. If you think you have a Phenoxy ethanol allergy, do a patch test first, suggests Mian. Apply a small amount to your inner wrist. Keep an eye on the area for 24 hours. You can keep using the product if you don't develop a reaction. If you do have a reaction, remember that it could be caused by any ingredient in the formula. Your best bet is to visit your dermatologist to try to pinpoint the culprit. And if you're pregnant or breastfeeding? Avoid using products with Phenoxy ethanol, just to be safe, and check with your doctor first. The takeaway. If you're a fan of paraben-free products, there's a good chance you've been regularly using Phenoxy ethanol. Don't worry, though—it's unlikely that it will cause irritation or side effects. Not to mention, it's better than the alternative. Just be mindful of the ingredients you are using in general. Phenoxy ethanol is a widely used synthetic preservative that has global approval for use in all cosmetic products in concentrations up to 1%. It’s often used in even lower amounts, such as when combined with other ingredients like ethylhexylglycerin. In this case, lower amounts of Phenoxy ethanol can be just as effective as the maximum approved amount. Phenoxy ethanol is incredibly versatile: It works in a large range of formulas and pH ranges, has broad spectrum activity against many pathogens you don’t want multiplying in your skincare products, is stable, and is compatible with many other preservatives used in cosmetics. Phenoxy ethanol has become the new skincare ingredient to be demonized by various retail/natural marketing cosmetic companies and websites. The controversy is similar to the absurdity over paraben preservatives. Parabens were made evil in skincare products because of studies showing they are endocrine disruptors, but parabens don’t have that property when they absorb into skin. Much like parabens, Phenoxy ethanol being a problem in cosmetics is based on research that has nothing to do with skincare. The negative research about Phenoxy ethanol is not about the cosmetics-grade version. That’s a big difference. Even plant extracts have to be purified when they are removed from the ground and put into skincare products. No one wants worms, fertilizer, heavy metals, and dirt in their products. Phenoxy ethanol is the same situation, it is purified before it is used in cosmetic formulations. As with many cosmetic ingredients, concentration matters. A 100% concentration of Phenoxy ethanol comes with some scary warnings. For example, the Safety Data Sheet on this preservative describes it as harmful if it contacts skin, is inhaled, or gets in to the eyes. Animal studies have shown it causes reproductive and developmental toxicity—no wonder some panic is occurring! As it turns out, the animal studies were about mice being fed large doses of this preservative, not about it being applied to skin, absorbing, and then causing reproductive or developmental harm. If you fed mice mass amounts of lavender or other essential oils, they would suffer terrible consequences. The rest of the alarming studies are about using Phenoxy ethanol in full-strength or atypically high concentrations, not the amounts of 1% or less used in cosmetic products. Think of it as the difference between taking one sip of wine versus chugging several bottles at once! Back to topical use, research has shown that compared to many other preservatives, the incidence of a sensitized or allergic reaction to Phenoxy ethanol applied as used in cosmetics is rare. But the truth is all preservatives, even the natural ones, carry some risk of sensitizing skin. That’s because preservatives of any kind are meant to kill fungus, bacteria, and mold and that can negatively impact skin. Ironically, in order for natural preservatives to be effective, they have to be used in much higher amounts than synthetic preservatives, typically up to 10%. This higher amount poses irritation and sensitizing problems for skin, so natural preservatives aren’t a slam-dunk replacement for synthetics, not even close. An interesting factoid: although the Phenoxy ethanol used in skincare products is synthetic, this chemical occurs naturally in green tea, just like parabens occur naturally in berries and other natural foods. Phenoxy ethanol (fee-no-oxy-ethanol) is part tongue twister, part chemical. More specifically, Phenoxy ethanol is a preservative that’s used to limit bacterial growth in many of the cosmetics you know and love. If you’ve been wondering about this mystery ingredient lingering on the label of your favorite products, we’re here to clear the air. Read through to learn all about what Phenoxy ethanol is, why its safety is questionable in certain products, and why we choose not to use it in ours. What Is Phenoxy ethanol? Phenoxy ethanol is a lesser known skin care ingredient that has flown under the radar of the average consumer for some time. Though this preservative isn’t quite in the danger zone of parabens and formaldehyde releasers, it does raise important concerns about safety. Phenoxy ethanol is a chemical preservative used in cosmetics and personal care products to limit bacterial growth and extend shelf life. It’s often used as a stabilizer for other ingredients that might otherwise deteriorate, spoil, or become less effective too quickly – it’s often employed along with perfumes, soaps, and bubble baths. You probably use this chemical more often than you think; about 23.9% of personal products contain Phenoxy ethanol, so it's one of those most common preservatives. Why We Choose Not To Use Phenoxy ethanol In Our Products Chemically, Phenoxy ethanol is known as a glycol ether – in other words, a solvent. According to the CDC, organic solvents can be carcinogens, reproductive hazards, and neurotoxins. Since many solvents a.k.a. chemicals are toxic, they can impact the skin and alter skin properties. These chemicals and a host of others are commonly found in lotions, moisturizers, liquid foundations, and sunscreen. It goes without saying why we choose not to use Phenoxy ethanol because it is a chemical preservative. It can be listed on a label under several names: 2-Phenoxy ethanol, phenoxytol, ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, and 1-hydroxy-2-Phenoxy ethanol. We prefer to use more natural preservatives like honeysuckle, tocopherols, and plant-based antioxidants. Honeysuckle The intoxicating scent of these delicate, trumpet-like beauties boast powerful properties as a natural preservative. It acts as an effective agent against harmful microorganisms that keeps serums, lotions, and other beauty potions fresh and safe. Tocopherols A form of Vitamin E, tocopherols are effective natural preservatives that can help maintain the freshness and shelf life of products. They’re a safe and effective solution to protect lipids and prevent oxidation – or a product’s alteration in formula – that can occur in cosmetics and skin care products, especially cold-pressed oils. This oxidation can alter the lifespan of a product and its freshness and effectiveness. Antioxidants The use of antioxidants can also be considered important for maintaining the stability of the formulations. In terms of preservation, they are highly effective when it comes to reducing oxidation: a chemical reaction that often takes place when an ingredient is exposed to oxygen, resulting in rancidity and degeneration at a cellular level. Is Phenoxy ethanol Really That Bad? The short answer with a not-so-short conclusion, is that it depends who you ask. For instance, the Skin Deep database powered by EWG (the Environmental Working Group) rates the preservative as low hazard. But it still has the capability for harm, or cause an adverse effect – which is precisely why some brands won’t include the ingredient. On the other hand, there are companies who use Phenoxy ethanols BUT only in a small percentage. A familiar household brand, The Honest Company, only uses a tiny amount of the preservative to fight bacteria. Their plant based formulations, when paired with water, can create a breeding ground for fungi – so an effective preservative or stabilizer is in order! Using an effective preservative is critical for ensuring safety – something we know The Honest Company stands by. Phenoxy ethanol is only used in their dish and hand soaps, laundry detergent, stain remover, and surface spray. They consider the amount unsubstantial, and limit its use to only a few of their products. But what about those side effects we mentioned earlier? How Phenoxy ethanol Can Affect Skin and Health On the surface, these fairly unassuming preservatives may not seem that bad – but going a little deeper, there is a conversation questioning its safety for those with certain skin types. Granted the FDA and The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) as well as other companies using this preservative can agree on one thing: it’s safe when applied topically in concentrations of 1 percent or lower. Still, questions are lingering regarding the safety of Phenoxy ethanol for sensitive skin types, in regards to allergic reactions and skin irritation. Several studies have indicated that those with sensitive skin can experience allergic-type reactions, due in part to having pre-existing allergies. Some studies simply identify it as a skin irritant that can affect different people at varying levels. Symptoms can range from rashes to a more severe response of hives. Other Effects of Phenoxy ethanol on Your Health If you scratch the surface further on Phenoxy ethanol, there are additional conversations about its adverse health effects for urinary incontinence. Phenoxy ethanol has been linked to partial loss of the urgency to urinate, as well as pain attributed to the preservative while urinating. Phenoxy ethanol is also often found in baby soaps and bubble baths, begging the question of their safety for the most delicate of skin. Phenoxy ethanol is thought to cause central nervous system damage in exposed infants – not to mention the aforementioned risk of urinary tract discomfort and irritation. As we’ve emphasized, there are a variety of reasons to accept or dispel the use of Phenoxy ethanol in skin and health applications and products. While there are mixed reviews as to the potential ill-effects of this ingredient, know that we’ll always play it safe when it comes to hazardous preservatives! Phenoxy ethanol DANGERS: IS Phenoxy ethanol SAFE AND WHAT IS Phenoxy ethanol IN SKINCARE? There are little known cosmetic ingredients and then there are those that are more familiar. Parabens created a media explosion a decade ago that has resulted in nearly everyone at least knowing about these controversial compounds. While we don’t consider parabens acceptable for use in our formulations here at Blissoma, they certainly aren’t the only mainstream preservatives to avoid when shopping skincare. Phenoxy ethanol is a synthetic preservative that can be found in a wide range of skincare products. And while it's considered by some to be safer than parabens, this preservative has its good and bad points like any chemical. That’s why we’d like to shed light on the Phenoxy ethanol dangers that can exist, and the ways it interacts with your body. WHAT IS Phenoxy ethanol IN SKINCARE? Phenoxy ethanol in cosmetics and personal care products is most commonly used as a synthetic preservative. This ingredient is produced for commercial use by treating phenol, a crystalline solid obtained from coal tar, with ethylene oxide, a carbolic acid. Both coal tar and ethylene oxide are known to contain carcinogenic compounds but some feel the process of combining the two makes Phenoxy ethanol safe for use as a cosmetic preservative. It is from a class of chemical compounds called glycol ethers. Phenoxy ethanol occurs naturally in small amounts in green tea and chicory, but the version you will find in cosmetic products is always made in a lab. This makes it "nature identical" at best when found in your skincare. This issue creates interesting questions about what "natural" really is - it is a naturally occurring compound, is it a compound extracted directly from plants, or is it ok to synthesize it, and does the chemical feedstock matter? These issues are ones that the natural, green, and clean beauty world is still wrestling with. We believe that the chemical feedstock absolutely matters, and that further the quantity of a compound that a person is likely to encounter in the natural world also matters. When a compound that occurs only in trace amounts in natural sources is highly concentrated in a lab and then used on human beings at levels they would not normally contact in nature it fundamentally changes how we are interacting with that substance. This issue has been explored previously with other preservative controversies like that around "Plantservative", the Japanese honeysuckle extract based preservative. Other compounds like undecane that are now sneaking into green beauty products have this same issue. The line for what is to be considered natural and what is non natural is currently a battleground and is likely to remain that way. Phenoxy ethanol is not allowed in cosmetic products applying for EcoCert or COSMOS certification. This already means that many natural-focused customers will choose to avoid this ingredient. Paraben fear has prompted many cosmetics makers to use Phenoxy ethanol as a preservative. And while it may not have the reputation of parabens or carry the same potential risks, there are reasons to consider steering clear of this ingredient. The best way to avoid synthetic preservatives is to read ingredient listings. Here’s how Phenoxy ethanol shows up on product labels: Phenoxy ethanol, 2-hydroxyethyl phenyl ether, 2-phenoxy- ethanol, 2-Phenoxy ethanol, 2-phenoxyethyl alcohol, ethanol, 2-phenoxy-, ethanol, 2phenoxy, ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, Phenoxy ethanol, and phenoxytol. Contaminated skincare is a bad thing but synthetic preservatives have drawbacks too. And skipping synthetics doesn’t mean you have to forgo safe products. There are many natural preservatives that can be utilized in their place for lotions, creams, and serums that have water content. Green chemistry has continued to evolve in leaps and bounds and there are more choices of naturally based preservatives on the market for formulators than ever before. However the way that naturally based preservatives work is more complicated than many synthetic anti microbial ingredients, and they often cost more as raw materials. Usually a combination of several is needed in order to satisfy the needs of protecting a product from fungi and bacteria alike, which are sensitive to different things. More rigorous testing is needed to devise naturally based preservative systems that work in each individual product, which can also drive up development and laboratory costs. This can leave cosmetic manufacturers eager for the simplicity of using a broadly effective, comparatively "easy" ingredient like Phenoxy ethanol. IS Phenoxy ethanol SAFE IN SKINCARE? A quick Google search on Phenoxy ethanol safety will likely leave you stumped. There are two camps when it comes to this issue – those who feel the ingredient poses no risks when used as directed in concentrations of 1% or lower and those who feel it’s best avoided. You may want to note that Japan and the EU are the places where Phenoxy ethanol is currently restricted by law to be used at 1% or less. In the USA no such restrictions exist, nor is there any third party verification of ingredients content. This could mean that product manufacturers in the USA that use this ingredient may be using in excess of the advised 1% level, particularly if there are ingredients in a formulation that were preserved with Phenoxy ethanol prior to being added to the final recipe. If Phenoxy ethanol is then added to the final recipe at 1% this would put the total amount in the product over the 1% limit. It is nearly impossible to know if manufacturers are doing their math carefully to avoid this situation with no legal restrictions on them in the USA to cause them to act more cautiously. As always, it’s a good idea to do your research when concerned about a cosmetic ingredient and to follow brands whose ingredient commitment you trust. Brands dedicated to creating synthetic-free products will avoid Phenoxy ethanol. We did some digging and found that this preservative comes with some potential unwanted side effects. THE Phenoxy ethanol DANGERS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT Properly preserved skincare is a priority for safety, but which preservatives we use and how often are important choices. Whether Phenoxy ethanol is safe or not is likely to be a personal decision for most people, and there is definitely some study data you will want to know about as you consider how you feel about this preservative. A lot of the scientific study data available on Phenoxy ethanol is relatively old, and generally in the scientific world anything older than 10 years is very old since new testing methods and ideas are constantly evolving and new data is always being produced. With that in mind there are a few points of data you will want to know about. Phenoxy ethanol HAS A RELATIVELY LOW RISK OF SENSITIZING SKIN, BUT PEOPLE WITH ECZEMA MAY WANT TO AVOID IT ANYWAY. Phenoxy ethanol has been in use since the early 1980s, and very few incidents of contact allergy were reported in its early days of use. Reports of contact allergy increased in the 1990s and 2000s which could be simply due to its increased use in products. It could also represent growing sensitization in the population using it. However a 2011 study showed that Phenoxy ethanol showed one of the lowest risks of sensitization among preservatives evaluated in that study. The test group also included benzyl alcohol, parabens, and methylisothiazolinone (now known to cause contact allergy in many people). The sensitization exposure quotient (SEQ) was calculated by dividing the relative frequency of sensitization and the relative frequency of use. By this method Phenoxy ethanol was shown to have an SEQ of just .06 while methylisothiazolinone has an SEQ of 1.7. Some preservatives tested had SEQ values up to 9.0. Some of the worst cases of skin sensitization that have been seen with Phenoxy ethanol occurred when it was being used as a component ingredient in the branded preservative blend known as Euxyl-K 400. The other chemical compound in Euxyl-K 400 is 1,2-dibromo-2.4-dicyanobutane. The sensitizing capability of this blend has been known since the early 1990s and most cosmetic manufacturers are probably not using this blended ingredient anymore. All that said the SEQ calculated above was derived using data from a body of information collected between 2006-2009 and includes frequency of use as one of the criteria. The use of Phenoxy ethanol in cosmetics has absolutely risen over the last 10 years, meaning that those numbers could shift given that frequency of use would be way up. Frequency of contact contributes to sensitization. As well the data would have represented a broad section of people, which is great if you have "normal" skin. However if you are someone suffering from eczema or frequent contact allergies it could be far more likely

The feature of Phenoxyethanol is that, in addition to its protective properties, it has been observed that it blocks the fixing aromas in perfume and soap, the odor does not evaporate and it lasts longer.



WHAT IS PHENOXYETHANOL IN SKIN CARE?
IS PHENOXYETHANOL SAFE?
Phenoxyethanol in skin care is used as a preservative.
Although the kind of phenoxyethanol used in skin care is synthetic (known as “nature identical,” it mimics the natural version exactly), phenoxyethanol is actually found in nature, specifically in green tea and chicory.
Phenoxyethanol ensures that yeast, mold, and bacteria don’t develop and ultimately, end up on your skin.



BENEFITS OF PHENOXYETHANOL IN COSMETICS:
Phenoxyethanol has a wide range of antimicrobial activity.
Phenoxyethanol is effective in protecting the product from the growth of yeast, mold, all kinds of bacteria, including those resistant to antibiotics such as Gram-negative bacteria, which are the main agents of purulent and inflammatory processes.

WHY IS PHENOXYETHANOL USED IN COSMETICS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS?
Phenoxyethanol has been used safely since the 1950s as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products.
Phenoxyethanol is highly effective in preventing the growth of fungi, bacteria, and yeast that could cause products to spoil, just like food. The use of preservatives enhances products’ shelf life and safety.
Products that contain water are susceptible to mold, discoloration, or unpleasant odors caused by the bacteria and fungi naturally present in the environment.
As cosmetics are used, they come in contact with the skin and applicators that contact the skin, thus potentially exposing the product to these harmful microorganisms.
Under certain conditions, an inadequately preserved product can become contaminated, which could cause health problems such as irritation or infection.
Products contaminated by microorganisms may also negatively impact how the product performs, looks, feels, and smells.
Preservatives like phenoxyethanol help prevent such problems.



MECHANISM OF ACTION OF PHENOXYETHANOL:
Phenoxyethanol has antibacterial properties and is effective against strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa even in the presence of 20% serum.

WHAT IS PHENOXYETHANOL USED FOR IN SKIN CARE?
In skin care, phenoxyethanol is used to enhance the quality, safety, and effectiveness of a product.
Here's how Phenoxyethanol works:

1.
Phenoxyethanol prevents microbial growth:
Although Phenoxyethanol may sound unpleasant, your cosmetic products double as the perfect home (and food) for harmful microorganisms.
Phenoxyethanol's all thanks to water and organic/inorganic compounds, which is found in basically every product.

Phenoxyethanol helps by preventing the growth of bacteria3, yeast, and mold, board-certified dermatologist.
Phenoxyethanol fights bacteria by making holes in their membranes, which essentially makes them implode.
Phenoxyethanol also disrupts DNA and RNA synthesis in bacteria and yeast, so Phenoxyethanol's impossible for them to reproduce.
In turn, these microbes can't multiply and contaminate your beloved skin care products.

2.
Phenoxyethanol stabilizes products:
Phenoxyethanol is compatible with many other preservatives, and it doesn't react with light or air.
Therefore, Phenoxyethanol's used to prevent ingredients from breaking down or separating, helping your product stay stable.
What's more, phenoxyethanol itself is stable at a wide range of pHs, so Phenoxyethanol works well in a variety of formulas.

3.
Phenoxyethanol enhances the shelf life of your products:
As a preservative, phenoxyethanol is ultimately used to extend a product's lifespan.
Phenoxyethanol's antimicrobial and stabilizing properties protect the formula from spoilage, which would render the product useless—and unsafe.
This increases the length of time you can enjoy Phenoxyethanol without any issues.



BENEFITS OF PHENOXYETHANOL:
There are many benefits to using phenoxyethanol as a preservative in skin care, not the least of which is that it extends the shelf life of products drastically.
Without a preservative like phenoxyethanol, most skin care products would be useless in a very short period of time.
They could also be potential carriers of bacteria and fungi to the skin, causing visible infections.



PHENOXYETHANOL AT A GLANCE:
Popular synthetic preservative that’s been globally approved for use in cosmetics in up to 1%
Protects formulas from broad-spectrum pathogenic activity
Backed by decades of research and safety assessments
Versatile in that it is compatible in a large range of formulas/pH ranges
Considered gentle on skin (incidence of a sensitized reaction to phenoxyethanol is rare)



WHAT DO PRESERVATIVES DO?
Preservatives in skin care prevent the growth of yeast, mold, and bacteria.
Just like food, skin care, make-up, and fragrances all have a certain shelf life and without some kind of preservative, that shelf life would be very short.

PHENOXYETHANOL
Phenoxyethanol is used as a preservative in cosmetic products and also as a stabilizer in perfumes and soaps.
Exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to reactions ranging from eczema to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions.
Infant oral exposure to phenoxyethanol can acutely affect nervous system function.

CAS: 122-99-6
MF: C8H10O2
MW: 138.16
EINECS: 204-589-7

Phenoxyethanol is used as a preservative in cosmetic products to limit bacterial growth.
A review of 43 cosmetic products demonstrated that only 25 percent of the products had concentrations of phenoxyethanol greater than 0.6 percent and the mean concentration of phenoxyethanol was 0.46 percent.
Phenoxyethanol is also used as to stabilize components found in perfumes and soaps.
Studies show that it is not a primary or cumulative skin irritant.
Phenoxyethanol is generally considered safe for use in a concentration of less than 1%.
Products last longer.
When you see preservatives like phenoxyethanol on your product labels, you know they will last longer.

Uses
Phenoxyethanol is a broad-range preservative with fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticidal, and germicidal properties.
Phenoxyethanol has a relatively low sensitizing factor in leave-on cosmetics.
Phenoxyethanol can be used in concentrations of 0.5 to 2.0 percent, and in combination with other preservatives such as sorbic acid or parabens.
In addition, Phenoxyethanol is used as a solvent for aftershaves, face and hair lotions, shampoos, and skin creams of all types.
Phenoxyethanol can be obtained from phenol.

Health Concerns
Allergen: Skin exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to allergic reactions ranging from eczema and hives to anaphylaxis.
A 2015 study found that Doppler ultrasound gel mostly caused skin inflammation, but there were rare reports of anaphylaxis, or life-threatening reactions.
Mixtures of phenoxyethanol and parabens found in Doppler ultrasound gel may lead to more severe allergic reactions than phenoxyethanol alone.
Eczema is also a common allergic reaction to skin exposure of products containing one percent or more phenoxyethanol.
Reactions only occur in the area of application and eczema subsides after avoidance of the product causing irritation.

Acute nervous system effects (infants): In 2008, the FDA warned consumers not to purchase Mommy’s Bliss Nipple Cream.
Phenoxyethanol, found in the cream, was depressing the central nervous system and causing vomiting and diarrhea in breast feeding infants.
Symptoms of a depressed nervous system include a decrease in infant’s appetite, difficulty waking the infant, limpness of extremities and change in skin color.
There is no known health risk to the mother.

Avoid
Infants should not be exposed to cosmetic products containing Phenoxyethanol.
If you are allergic, read labels and avoid personal care products and vaccines with phenoxyethanol and since parabens may enhance the allergic effects of phenoxyethanol, skip products containing both chemicals.
If you are not allergic, phenoxyethanol is a relatively safe preservative in regard to chronic health effects.

Because Phenoxyethanol does not sufficiently protect against all types of microorganisms, it is necessary to combine this substance with others to obtain sufficient protection.



DURABILITY OF
Phenoxyethanol is currently mostly made from petrochemical raw materials and is therefore not renewable.
Phenoxyethanol breaks down quickly: only in the recommended relatively high concentration is it harmful to micro-organisms.
When diluted, on the other hand, Phenoxyethanol is quickly eaten by them.



FUNCTIONS OF PHENOXYETHANOL IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS:
*ANTIMICROBIAL
Phenoxyethanolb helps control the growth of micro-organisms (eg bacteria and fungi)
*PRESERVATIVE
Phenoxyethanol protects cosmetic products from microbial spoilage



WHAT IS PHENOXYETHANOL USED FOR?
Phenoxyethanol is used as an antibacterial ingredient or preservative to prevent cosmetic and skin care products from spoiling.
Phenoxyethanol is also a stabilizer and is a common ingredient found in many products ranging from perfumes to shampoos.


*Skin care:
If the skin care products are not preserved properly, they develop various kinds of bacteria and fungi that can be very harmful if used.
For this very purpose, Phenoxyethanol ingredient is added.
Apart from increasing the shelf life of many skin care products, Phenoxyethanol has been proven effective in reducing acne


*Hair care:
In products like shampoos and conditioners, Phenoxyethanol is especially loved because of its mild rosy smell.
Phenoxyethanol is helpful in stabilizing the products as it does not react with other ingredients and/or with light and air


*Cosmetic products:
With increasing demand for paraben-free cosmetic products among health-conscious consumers, Phenoxyethanol has become a very popular preserving ingredient.
If cosmetic products are not preserved properly, they turn very harmful to the skin and may cause irritation and many skin allergies.
Moreover, in the infamous Phenoxyethanol vs. paraben fight, the former wins because it is much safe and gentler on the skin



ORIGIN OF PHENOXYETHANOL:
Phenoxyethanol is found naturally in green tea.
However, for commercial purposes, Phenoxyethanol is made synthetically in the lab and is known as a ‘nature identical’ chemical.
When ethylene oxide and phenol are treated in an alkaline medium, Phenoxyethanol results in this light-colored and rosy smelled ingredient.



WHAT DOES PHENOXYETHANOL DO IN A FORMULATION?
*Preservative



SAFETY PROFILE OF PHENOXYETHANOL:
Phenoxyethanol is considered safe for skin and hair if used in very low concentrations.
The recommended concentration of Phenoxyethanol is 1% or less.
A patch test is recommended prior to full application.

Phenoxyethanol is not to be used in products like nipple creams that can be ingested by infants as they can be very harmful.
Apart from this, Phenoxyethanol is a biodegradable preservative and is considered safe for the environment.
When chemically produced, Phenoxyethanol is ritually pure and is considered halal.
