S&M Phenoxyethanol

Chemical Name
2-phenoxyethanol

S&M Phenoxyethanol is the pure active in liquid form, fully effective in both anionic and cationic systems. It operates efficiently across a wide pH range, maintaining effectiveness up to high levels. While it exhibits limited solubility in water and non-polar solvents, it readily dissolves in polar solvents. Effective preservation requires agitation with good turbulence when dissolving in water. This preservative provides good headspace protection and demonstrates stability against hydrolysis, temperature, and pH fluctuations. It is suitable for preserving manufactured products to ensure their shelf life and for controlling microbial deterioration in working or cutting fluids.
