What are the performance characteristics of phenoxyethanol?
Antibacterial mechanism and applicable strains
Phenoxyethanol has broad-spectrum bacteriostasis, and its antibacterial mechanism is to act on the cell membrane, improve the permeability of the cell membrane to potassium ions, and inhibit the enzymatic activity (such as malate dehydrogenase) required for cell growth. Phenoxyethanol has specific bacteriostatic activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and also has bacteriostatic effect on Gram-positive and negative bacteria.
Performance characteristics
1. Does not contain any heavy metals, and has clear index control for dioxane, diethylene glycol monophenyl ether and phenol, so it has higher purity and lower odor. one.
2. It has excellent compatibility, and has very good compatibility with various surfactants.
3. It will not change the smell and color of cosmetics, external medicines and toys.
4. It can be used in combination with other preservatives such as parabens.
5. It is safe and convenient, the performance and quality are very stable, the addition amount is very small, and it is applicable in the range of PH value of 3-9.5.
