Bronopol
Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol) is a water-soluble, white crystalline powder or granules with a slight odor. It is a synthetic antimicrobial agent widely used as a preservative in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications. Bronopol exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal and fungicidal activity, making it effective against a wide range of microorganisms. It works by releasing active formaldehyde slowly, which disrupts microbial metabolism and reproduction.
Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride
Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Chloride (CTAC) is a cationic surfactant and quaternary ammonium compound characterized by a long hydrophobic cetyl (C16) alkyl chain and a positively charged ammonium head group. It appears as a white to pale yellow powder or flakes, soluble in water, and exhibits strong surface-active properties. CTAC is widely used in cosmetics, personal care, and industrial applications for its excellent conditioning, antistatic, emulsifying, and disinfectant capabilities. It functions primarily as a fabric softener, hair conditioner, and antimicrobial agent.
Phenoxyethano Extra Pure
Phenoxyethano Extra Pure is a high-purity aromatic glycol ether widely used as a preservative, solvent, and stabilizer in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and laboratory formulations. This colorless, slightly viscous liquid possesses a mild pleasant odor and offers effective antimicrobial properties, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria.
Due to its excellent solvency and low volatility, Phenoxyethanol is ideal for use in creams, lotions, serums, and vaccines, where it extends shelf life by preventing microbial growth. In laboratory settings, it serves as a dependable solvent for dyes, resins, and plasticizers. Its low toxicity and compatibility with other preservatives make it a preferred alternative to parabens in personal care products.
Propyl Paraben Sodium BP
Propyl Paraben Sodium BP is the sodium salt derivative of propyl paraben, widely used as an effective antimicrobial preservative.
