Classified as a versatile isothiazolinone-based preservative, Kathon is tailor-made for all kinds of water-based formula systems. It features outstanding water miscibility and can blend stably with ethanol and multiple polyols, while showing insolubility in oily solvents and mineral grease. In conventional production environments, it maintains stable chemical properties in neutral and slightly acidic water-based solutions and tolerates routine thermal processing techniques for daily chemicals. However, alkaline environments with pH above 8.5 will break its molecular structure and disable antibacterial functions. To retain intact product quality, prolonged exposure to high heat and intense sunlight should be avoided throughout storage and production.
Key Advantages
Capable of suppressing and killing multiple microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and algae, Kathon provides fast and long-lasting anti-spoilage protection for water-based finished goods.
Its exclusive water-soluble property eliminates the need for additional solubilizing ingredients, simplifying production procedures and ensuring no negative impact on finished product appearance and sensory properties.
Featuring cost-effectiveness and stable efficacy, this preservative requires minimal additive dosage and is more economical than most premium compound preservatives, ideal for large-batch industrial production.
It possesses excellent formula adaptability and thermal stability, and fully meets national cosmetic safety specifications, supporting compliant commercial application in designated scenarios.

Applications
With wide antimicrobial coverage and high cost performance, Kathon is a mainstream preservative for wash-off daily chemical products and cannot be applied to leave-on skincare goods. It is commonly used in various rinse-off personal care commodities such as hair cleaning products, body care washes and daily cleansing products under strict dosage control. In industrial fields, it provides effective antibacterial preservation for water-based cleaning supplies and diversified aqueous industrial auxiliary materials. Besides, it acts as an efficient mildew inhibitor for industrial circulating water and water-based auxiliary preparations in textile, coating and papermaking industries, effectively solving water body odor and microbial contamination problems.
Packaging & Storage
Standard commercial packaging is 25kg per corrosion-resistant sealed plastic drum, with flexible custom packaging services supported for bulk orders. To preserve stable product activity, store the goods in dry, shady and ventilated indoor environments with temperature ranging from 5℃ to 30℃. Isolate the product from alkaline substances and redox chemical materials at all times. After opening, the raw material must be tightly sealed and used up promptly to avoid component loss and quality degradation caused by volatilization and moisture invasion.
Quality & Service
Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility, each batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA). We offer reliable supply, technical support, and competitive pricing for bulk orders.
FAQ
Q: What is the relative density index of the item?
A: Its relative density is controlled at 1.19±0.02.
Q: What is the specification of active substance content?
A: The effective ingredient content shall reach ≥2.5±0.2%.
Q: In which fields can this product be applied?
A: For cosmetic and personal care uses, it can only be added to rinse-type daily chemicals including shampoo, shower gel, hair conditioner, facial cleanser and hand sanitizer. The legal maximum addition ratio is 0.0015%, and it is forbidden to use in leave-on products such as masks, serums, emulsions and face creams.
In industrial daily chemical scenarios, it serves for antiseptic and antibacterial treatment of water-based tableware detergent, laundry liquid, cleaning agents, water-based care and industrial auxiliary agents.
In other water-based formulations, it provides mildew and antiseptic protection for waterborne coating, textile and papermaking additives as well as industrial circulating water systems, restraining microbial reproduction and avoiding water odor and deterioration.
