The core of bromonitrol in daily chemical products is broad-spectrum antibacterial and preservative properties, with a focus on "low addition, high antibacterial, good compatibility, and strong water solubility". It is mainly used in water-based systems, wash off and wet wipes products, with stricter restrictions on resident toiletries.
1、 Core application scenarios (by category)
1. Cleaning and care (most commonly used)
      Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, foam bath, liquid soap, hand sanitizer
      Features: 0.01% -0.05% is sufficient, with strong effects on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Gram negative bacteria; Compatible with various surfactants and proteins, stable at pH 4-9
2. Skincare products (resident type, more restricted)
      Face cream, lotion, essence, skin care lotion, gel, baby skin care products (old formulas are common)
      Key points: Regulatory upper limit ≤ 0.1%; Under alkaline conditions, it slowly releases trace amounts of formaldehyde, which is often compounded with nipagin ester/IPBC to enhance its ability to inhibit mold/yeast growth
3. Wet wipes and hygiene products
      Sanitary wipes, makeup remover wipes, disposable cotton soft wipes, surface treatment of sanitary napkins/pads
      Advantages: Long term antibacterial properties in high humidity environments, preventing mold, odors, and cross contamination
4. Makeup and others
      Foundation make-up, pre makeup cream, lip glaze/lip color (water-based), hair dye, hair cream, styling gel
      Detergent, fabric softener, fabric antibacterial treatment (to inhibit bacteria/odors)
2、 Core role and advantages
      Broad spectrum and high efficiency: Strong in killing bacteria (especially Pseudomonas), weak in inhibiting mold/yeast (requires compounding); 25ppm is effective immediately
      Good compatibility: Negative/positive/non-ionic surface activity, protein, emulsifier do not affect activity
      Strong water solubility: easily soluble in water/propylene glycol, no need for co solvents, low temperature formula friendly
      Wide pH range: pH 2-10 stable, covering common ranges of washing and skincare
      Low irritation: Low irritation to the skin/eyes at compliant concentrations (≤ 0.1%), suitable for wash off type
