Product Information

• Name: Terephthaloyl chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Terephthalaldehyde chloride is a water-insoluble, white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It forms a protective layer on metal surfaces and plastics, preventing corrosion and microbial growth. Terephthalaldehyde chloride has been shown to be effective against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella enterica. Terephthalaldehyde chloride's antimicrobial activity is attributed to its acid complex with phosphorus pentoxide and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy data indicate that it reacts with the anionic sites of bacterial cell walls. Terephthalaldehyde chloride does not react with human serum proteins or ester linkages; however, it has toxic effects on mice at high doses.
