DISINFECTANTS
FORMULATION 1
BROWN DISINFECTANT/ANTISEPTIC STANDARD FORMULATION
Chloroxylenol Crystals - 1 part (kg)
Isopropanol (IPA) - 4 parts (litres)
Pine Oil - 3 parts (litres)
Genapol (or empicol) - 1 part (litre)
Water (with caramel) - 15-16 parts (litres)
Total - 25 litres
Adjust with IPA to clearity, if not clear brown colour.
PRODUCTION METHOD:
1. Mix chloroxylenol with IPA to dissolve the chloroxylenol.
2. Add pine oil and mix
3. Add Genapol and mix
4. Measure out the water needed in a separate container and add brown colourant to taste. This can be caramel or other safe brown colourant soluble in water.
5. Add the coloured water and mix. Adjust to clearity if necessary by adding IPA or ethanol in drops till mixture is clear. That is clear brown colour like Detol.
PRODUCTION METHOD:
FORMULATION II: This formulation is now common with small scale operators because it is easy to use and the materials are commonly available. Use is made of chloroxylenol concentrate which has the appearance of the disinfectant but it is very “heavy”
30 litres Batch formulation
Chloroxylenol liquid (concentrate) - 12 litres
Pine Oil - 3 litres
Isopropanol – IPA - 4 litres
Empicol (or Genepol) - 40 mls(8TSP)
Caramel (optional) - 40 mls (8TSP)
Water - 10 mls (8TSP)
TOTAL - 30 LITRES
PROCESSING METHOD:
1. Mix the chloroxylenol, pine oil and empicol in a mixer till they are fully blended. If not increase empicol by 1-2 TSP.
2. Mix water with the caramel colour if needed and add the mixture to no. 1 above. Mix well. The mixture may turn white.
3. Add IPA little at a time as you mix. Continue this process till the product turns
from white to golden brown stop and pack. If the 4 litres of IPA above is not enough to clear the white colour, you can add more IPA.
Note: The exact quantity of concentrate depends on the quantity of the one in use. You may need to use more than 12 litres in the case above if the quality is low. Ask the supplier.
