| PIROCTONE OLAMINE |
|
Piroctone olamine is a broad spectrum of microbiocide/microbiostat, may be used in formulating antidandruff shampoo, hair keep and hair care, soap, etc.. It is also used as preservative and thickening agent. |
|
| CHEMICAL NAME |
1-Hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-(1H)pyridinone,2-aminoethanol salt |
|
| CAS No. |
68890-66-4 |
|
| EINECS NO. |
272-574-2 |
|
| STRUCTURAL FORMULA |
 |
|
| CHARACTERISTICS |
|
|
Solubility:Freely soluble in 10% ethanol in water; soluble in solution containing surfactants in water or in 1%-10% ethanol; slightly soluble in water and in oil. The solubility in water varies by pH value, and is a litter larger in neutral or weak basic solution than in acid solution.
pH: 8.5-10.0 (1% suspension in water, 20°C)
pKa: 7.4
Thickening: Piroctone olamine increases the viscosity of many surfactant system. |
|
| STABILITY |
|
|
a) pH: Stable in solution of pH 3 to pH 9.
b) Heat: Stable to heat, and to short time of high temperature above 80°C Piroctone olamine in shampoo of pH 5.5-7.0 remains stable after one year of storage at a temperature over 40°C
c) Light: Decompose under direct ultraviolet radiation. So it should be protected from light.
d) Metals: An aqueous solution of piroctone olamine degrades in the presence of cupric and ferric ions. |
|
| Compatibility |
|
|
Piroctone olamine is compatible with many cosmetic ingredients, especially with cationic surfactants (tetramine salt) and cationic active components. In some cases, this re-mixture increase the solubility of piroctone olamine. |
