Casamed™ PCMX

CASAMED™ PCMX is a bactericidal active which, in a large number of differing formulations, has been proved over many years to be highly efficient against a wide range of microorganisms. CASAMED™ PCMX is bactericidal, not merely bacteriostatic and control is afforded versus fungi, gram positive, gram negative bacteria and some viruses. Many virus types are resistant to chemical germicides including CASAMED™ PCMX but can be controlled by the use of easily formulated mixtures of CASAMED™ PCMX and other bactericides.

Other general advantages of CASAMED™ PCMX preparations when compared with other bactericidal agents are:

• CASAMED™ PCMX is compatible with a wide range of anionic and amphoteric surfactants and soaps and formulation is easy. Pine oil is a useful carrier and adjunct for CASAMED™ PCMX and bactericidal activity can be enhanced by its use.
• For various applications CASAMED™ PCMX may be formulated with other chlorinated phenols, sulfur and quaternary ammonium compounds. It is compatible with a wide variety of pharmaceuticals including hydrocortisones, pramoximes, propylparaban and sulphathiazoles.
• Dirt and particulate soil can inactivate all bactericides to a greater or lesser extent. CASAMED™ PCMX based formulations are more tolerant than most in this respect.
• CASAMED™ PCMX is bactericidally active over a pH range of at least 4 - 9.
• CASAMED™ PCMX exhibits low metal corrosivity; an important factor where instrument sterilization is involved.

• Hospital and General Medical Use
• Household and General Germicidal Use
• Industrial Use
