10% Thymol Antibacterial Antifungal Solution SAMPLE 3ML
3ML SAMPLE of thymol antibacterial antifungal solution used for entomology, wet specimens, and sanitising your workbench and tools.
Thymol is a strong antibacterial antifungal agent that is not water soluble. This means it leaves microscopic traces instead of evaporating like plain alcohol.
This thymol solution is 10% thymol carried with ethanol. As thymol is not a solution, it's a crystal derived from plants such as thyme.
Thymol crystal comes in various grades at different price ranges, such as pharmaceutical grade, pure, white, food, and laboratory grade.
This thymol is laboratory grade.
This grade of thymol crystal has an assay of 99.0–101.0%, a melting range of 48–51°C, and a non-volatile (not vaporising) residue of 0.05%.
It's a key ingredient in hand sanitizer, nail salon solutions (to prevent fungal infections), and other antibacterial cleaning agents.
Although you can get a 4% thymol solution from your local nail salon or beauty warehouse or in some hand sanitizer, please do not use this 10% solution on your hands; it can cause irritation, as this is not pharmaceutical grade.
