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

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

Chlorophene is used as a germicide in formulating disinfectant and sanitizer products. End applications include soaps, anionic detergents, cosmetics and aerosol spray products.
