Sicherheit(Safety)
Chloroxylenol is generally regarded as a relatively nontoxic and
nonirritant material when used as an excipient in topical products.
However, chloroxylenol has been placed in Toxicity Category I for
eye irritation effects. In addition, allergic skin reactions have

Chloroxylenol is stable at normal room temperature, but is volatile
in steam. Contact with natural rubber should be avoided. Aqueous
solutions of chloroxylenol are susceptible to microbial contamination
and appropriate measures should be taken to prevent
contamination during storage or dilution. Chloroxylenol should
be stored in polyethylene, mild steel or stainless steel containers,
which should be well-closed and kept in a cool, dry place.
Chloroxylenol does not absorb at wavelengths >290 nm and has
been reported to be stable to sunlight for up to 24 hours.
