Performance   characteristics

1. Serve as a broad-spectrum, long-lasting biocide to kill many bacteria, fungi and yeasts; the liquid with a lowest concentration of 0.1% will have a good   antibacterial effect;

2. Good compatibility with all kinds of emulsifiers, surfactants and other agents;   miscible in the solutions of alcohol and water at any ratio.

3. Wider applications that like products; suitable for use in the medium of the pH value in the range of 4.0-12.

4. Excellent inactivity, with the active ingredient able to withstand a high temperature of 150 ℃.

5. Low toxicity; contain no heavy metals and halogen compounds; inactive to amines; free of formaldehyde.

Usage and Cautions

1. For use   in cosmetics, body care products, and other daily chemicals, the   concentration of using is in the range of 0.05-0.40% (w/w) depending on the   storage environment and whether the product is susceptible to the destroy of   microorganisms. The specific formula and instructions for the concentration   of using will be based on the company's microbial technology division;

2. It can be   added at any production step; but it's suggested to be added at the final   step at less than 50 ℃; avoid adding at a temperature of higher than 50 ℃.

3. Wear protective clothing, rubber gloves and goggles and masks, avoid contact with   skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
