Isopropyl methylphenol (IPMP ) Parameters

Isopropyl methylphenol (IPMP ) Introduction:

Isopropyl methylphenol is an isomer of thymol (primary component of volatile oil from labiate plants), which has been used for centuries as a folk medicine, but its properties are unknow. In 1953, a method for industrial manufacturing of isopropyl methylphenol was developed, and its properties including bactericidal and antioxidant actions have been studied. As its favorable physicochemical properties, excellent efficacy, and mild action characteristics have been recognized, it has come to be used widely today in drugs (for general use), quasi-drugs, cosmetics, and other industrial fields.

Isopropyl methylphenol (IPMP ) Application:

1) Cosmetics 
Preservative for creams, lipsticks, and hairdressings ( 0.1% or less in rinse-on preparations) 
2) Drugs 
Drugs for bacterial or fungal skin disorders, oral disinfectants, and anal preparations (3% or less) 
3) Quasi-drugs 
(1) External sterilizers or disinfectants (including hand disinfectants), oral disinfectants, hair tonics, anti-acne drugs, tooth paste, etc.: 0.05-1%. 
4) Industrial uses 
The disinfection of air-conditioners and rooms, antibacterial and deodorization processing of fabrics, various antibacterial and antifungal processing, and others. (Examples of uses) As the structure of buildings becomes more air-tight, damages or odors due to staphylococci and molds have been reported, and interest in their control is increasing with the growth of public consciousness about hygiene. 
(1) Interior disinfectants 
The interior can be disinfected effectively by spraying a 0.1-1% solution (prepared by diluting an emulsion or alcohol solution of IPMP to a concentration appropriate for the target microorganism) over the floor and the wall at about 25-100 ml/m2 .
