GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Cetyl Chloride (also called 1-Chlorohexadecane) is a clear to pale yellow liquid belonging to the family of organic
halogen compounds. It is hard to dissolve in water, but can be mixed with alcohol and ether. This chemical is less health
hazard substance than short chain alkyl chlorides. But it gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. It is used as
a solvent, as an chemical intermediate to make photographic chemicals, pharmaceuticals, organometallic compounds,
surfactants.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ANTISEPTIC AGENT
Antiseptic agent is a substance which kills or inhibits the growth of disease-causing bacteria and other microorganisms. It
is essentially nontoxic to to be applied to the skin or mucous membranes. (Disinfectant including cresol, bleaching
powder, and phenol is in general toxic to cells of the body). Common antiseptic agents are Benzalkonium Chloride,
Cetrimide, Chlorhexidine, Hexachlorophene, Iodine Compounds, Mercury Compounds (Thimerosol), Alcohol and
Hydrogen Peroxide, Hexamine Hippurate, Triclosan, Cetylpyridinium Chloride, And Dequalinium. Other substances
which can be used for antiseptic purpose include Boric acid and volatile oils such as Methyl Salicylate.
Hexachlorophene and Benzalkonium Chloride are used primarily in hand or face washes. Benzalkonium Chloride must
not be applied to areas which have not been fully rinsed as it is inactivated by organic compounds. Benzalkonium
application many include disinfecting instruments and preservativing drugs in low concentration form.
Iodine compounds have the widest spectrum of antiinfectives against bacteria, fungi, spores, protozoa, viruses, and yeasts.
Aqueous iodine are less effective than alcoholic solutions, but alcoholic component is drying and irritating to abraided
skin. Povidone iodine is convenient to use as it is less irritating, but not as effective.
Chlorhexidine is used as a safe antiseptic or disinfectant to apply to prevent body infection and in oral rinses for treating
sore gums and mouth ulcers and preventing plaque on teeth. It is used in the form of acetate, gluconate or hydrochloride,
either alone or in combination with others such as cetrimide.
Cetrimide is an antiseptic agent with detergent properties. It has the wide spectrum of antiinfectives against bacteria and
fungi. It is used as an ingredient of shampoos for treating seborrhoea and psoriasis. A very dilute solution can be applied
topically for the relief of sore gums.
Hippuric Acid, an amino acid glycine, is excreted from the body and is used in urinary system drugs. Hexamine hippurates
is helpful for preventing and treating infections of the urinary system; it acts by being transformed to formaldehyde.
Triclosan is a very popular antibacterial agent. It is used in hospitals for cleansing and disinfecting the skin of patients and
surgeons. It is used in cosmetics, household goods and personal care products. It is also used in plastics and textiles for
antibacterial activity purpose.
Cetylpyridinium chloride is used in oral rinses for cleaning mouth and treating minor throat or mouth infections and
teething problems.
Dequalinium chloride is antiinfectives against bacteria and fungi. It is used in treating bacterial or fungal infections of
mouth and throat.
