This product is a versatile preservative with specific solubility and stability characteristics. Its solubility at 25°C is approximately 2.5 g/L in water, highly soluble in ethanol and propylene glycol, and slightly soluble in oils and fats. It maintains stable performance under acidic and neutral conditions, but may undergo hydrolysis when exposed to high temperatures.
Key Advantages
It boasts broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, effectively inhibiting the growth of molds, yeasts, and some bacteria.
The optimal pH range for its antibacterial effect is 4-7, which is compatible with most cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical formulations.
In addition, it is used at a low concentration of only 0.1%-0.3% in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, ensuring safety while achieving good preservation results.
