the process of making dettol anitiseptic soap?

Answer 1

get the cotainer u want it in

Go to the supermarket and get some dettol soap

Put it in your container.

Dettol soap is a product of unilevers and they don't give out the formula... i thought everybody knew that.

Answer 2

Production Of Dettol

Answer 3

dettol soap forlumation

Answer 4

I think you have to approach it from three perspectives; college education and its availability and affordability, retirement and what the future holds for them and how bad it could be as opposed to now and the way it is for their parents living on fixed incomes or about to live on fixed incomes, thirdly-the environment. While these things are not directly related all three hold huge social and financial impact for the younger adults of this country that will affect them for many years to come after they are well past their mid 30s and 40s an into their retirment years even. By becoming involved and helping and taking a hand now with the decisions and policies that will be made they are helping to set the course for THEIR future.

Answer 5

Dettol (also called parachlorometaxylenol, or PCMX) is the name of a commercial liquid antiseptic belonging to a product line of household products manufactured by the Reckitt Benckiser corporation, known in the United Kingdom and in various parts of North America for famous brand names such as Lysol and Veet.


Chemical structure of chloroxylenolThe key ingredient which defines its unique antiseptic property is an aromatic chemical compound in chemistry known as chloroxylenol (C8H9ClO), which causes dettol to turn white when mixed into a solution with water. This makes up 4.8% of Dettol's total mixture, with the rest composed of pine oil, isopropanol, castor oil soap, caramel, and water. It has a characterisitic phenolic odour similar to trichlorophenol and the explosive compound known as trinitrotoluene (TNT). Apart from its low toxicity and low metal corrosivity, it is also relatively cheap compared to other disinfectants and is effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria, fungi, yeast, mildew and even the frightening "super-bug" MRSA, thus giving it a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. It is able to kill 98% of microbes in just 15 seconds as shown in agar patch studies, by disrupting the bacterial cells' membrane potential, drastically affecting its ability to produce Adenosine triphosphate and thus leading to its rapid death.

Dettol can also be used to treat acne in small quantities. The bottle cap also doubles as a container for pouring increments of 10ml for its various uses. However, like other household cleaners, it is still poisonous and should not be ingested. Overuse of Dettol can also cause bacterial resistance, but the risk of infection can be reduced considerably by using it in addition to soap and water.

Dettol is one of those chemicals which we instantly recognise by its distinctive smell. It is an aromatic compound derived from phenol, which contains a significant chlorine atom, helping us in our continuous fight against unwanted bacteria. Aromatic compounds are a good way to get people interested in Chemistry, particularly as those with three identical groups present, e.g. the fungicide trichlorophenol (TCP) (not to be confused with the household germicide TCP, trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl) which, like dettol, has a characterisitic phenolic odour, and the explosive TNT (trinitrotoluene) provide the general public with yet more TLA's (three letter acronyms
Dettol is made by Reckitt & Colman and is commercially available as an inexpensive liquid antiseptic which is safe and gentle enough to use on the skin and yet powerful enough to also use as a disinfectant. This is because of its broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. It is effective against gram positive/negative bacteria, fungi, yeast, mildew and even the frightening "super-bug" MRSA. It is able to kill 98% of microbes in just 15 seconds as shown in agar patch studies. Dettol is found in a number of products under a number of different names, for example as 0.5% chloroxylenol in the powder Zeasorb used in the treatment of athletes' foot, and as the quaintly named parachlorometaxylenol in Vionex the antimicrobrial toutelles. To keep teenagers on board, it is even used to treat acne, which is caused by bacterial infections and not the over indulgence of the irresistible chemicals found in chocolate.

Before you start swilling molecules of dettol around the house like many other chemicals, nbe aware that over-use may lead to contact dermatitis or even bacterial resistance. There is an increased awareness of the problems associated with drug resistant strains of bacteria particularly in hospitals. Chemicals such as triclosan target lipid synthesis in their fight against microbes. Frequent washing with cheaper "plain" soap and water sharply reduce the risks of infection, and good old fashioned but highly effective dettol is a very good way to disrupt a bacterial cells membrane potential, drastically affecting its ability to produce ATP and thus leading to its rapid death.

Dettol has some considerable advantages; from low toxicity, low metal corrosivity (important when sterilizing medical instruments), and is active over pH's 4-9. Despite being only slightly soluble in water it has a good solubility in alcohols (ethanol/propan-2-ol 50-87 g/100 ml) and pine oils. It is cheap at £6.59 / 500 ml. It may not be the most glamorous Molecule of the Month, but it is another example of how a relatively simple molecule has greatly benefited mankind. So the next time someone says how bad Chemistry and the Chemical industry is, why not reply to them with tales of the bacterial power of dettol whilst casually using one of its synonyms; chloroxylenol, 4-chlorometaxylenol, 4-chloro-3,5-xylenol, and of course, confusing to the under 30's parachlorometaxylenol (PCMX).
