Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate（IPBC）- CAS 55406-53-6
IPBC (Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate) is a high-performance carbamate-based broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.
It efficiently inhibits the growth and reproduction of fungi, molds, yeasts and partial bacteria, with stable chemical properties, wide pH adaptability and low dosage activity.
Different from traditional preservatives, IPBC features low irritation, high safety and long-lasting anti-mildew effect.
It is globally approved for multiple industrial and cosmetic applications, compliant with EU, US and Chinese cosmetic and industrial chemical regulations.
It can be used alone or compounded with other preservatives and bactericides to enhance the comprehensive anti-microbial effect, widely serving personal care, daily chemical, industrial manufacturing, building materials and other industries.
Key Benefits
• Broad-spectrum Antimicrobial Performance: IPBC effectively inhibits molds, fungi, yeasts and various harmful microorganisms, solves product mildew, deterioration and odor problems, and covers most microbial hazards in daily chemical and industrial fields.
• High Efficiency & Low Dosage: Excellent anti-mildew and bactericidal effect at low concentration (0.02%-0.1%), low addition cost, no impact on product original performance and formula stability.
• Wide Stability Adaptability: Stable in pH 4.0-9.0 neutral and weak acid/weak alkaline environment, resistant to high temperature processing, suitable for most production and application processes.
• Global Regulatory Compliance: Compliant with EU REACH, US FDA, China Cosmetic Safety Specification, can be legally used in cosmetics and industrial products in most countries and regions, no regulatory risk.
• Low Irritation & High Safety: Low toxicity, low skin irritation, safe for personal care product application, meets international cosmetic grade safety standards.
• Good Compatibility: Excellent compatibility with surfactants, resins, solvents and other formula raw materials, can be compounded with other preservatives to achieve synergistic effect.
• Long-lasting Protection: Stable molecular structure, not easy to decompose and fail, provides long-term anti-mildew and anti-bacterial protection for finished products.
