euxyl® PE 9010 is a liquid cosmetic preservative based on
phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin. The addition of
ethylhexylglycerin affects the interfacial tension at the cell
membrane of microorganisms, improving the preservative
activity of phenoxyethanol.
euxyl® PE 9010 is equally effective against bacteria, yeasts and
mold fungi. It is a typically biostatic product with the biocidal
properties necessary for practical use.
For euxyl® PE 9010 to perform effectively in destroying organisms
in products already contaminated a minimum contact time
of 48 hours is necessary. Since the effect of euxyl® PE 9010 takes
place through chemical reactions with the microorganisms when
it is used in heavily contaminated products loss of active ingredient
must be taken into account.
Good production hygiene as well as the use of raw materials
with low microorganism levels as a result of correct raw material
control are of course vital prerequisites for the production of
microbiologically faultless finished products.
euxyl® PE 9010 is stable to hydrolysis, temperature and pH.
As a result of the good solubility of euxyl® PE 9010 an easy
dispersion in the various systems even at low temperature
is possible. euxyl® PE 9010 is effective in pH-ranges up to 12.
