Product Description
Propyl Paraben Sodium Salt, also known as Sodium Propylparaben, is a widely used preservative in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. This ExiPlus grade variant from SRL Chem ensures high purity (94-102%), making it suitable for research and industrial applications. Its multi-compendial compliance guarantees consistency and reliability in formulations.
As a sodium salt derivative of propylparaben, it offers enhanced solubility in water, making it easier to incorporate into aqueous solutions. Researchers and manufacturers rely on this compound for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Whether you’re developing a new cosmetic formula or conducting stability studies in a lab, this product delivers consistent performance. eqipped provides lab-grade chemicals with verified purity, ensuring your experiments and productions meet regulatory standards.
Applications
This versatile compound is commonly used in:
- Pharmaceutical formulations as a preservative
- Cosmetic products to extend shelf life
- Food and beverage preservation
- Laboratory research requiring antimicrobial agents
Safety and Handling
While Propyl Paraben Sodium Salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in regulated concentrations, proper lab safety protocols should be followed. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Why This Product Stands Out
With its ExiPlus grade and multi-compendial certification, this product meets stringent quality benchmarks. The 94-102% purity range ensures minimal impurities, reducing variability in experimental results. For researchers and manufacturers seeking a reliable preservative, this sodium propylparaben variant is an excellent choice.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of Propyl Paraben Sodium Salt?
When stored under recommended conditions, this product has a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture.
Is this product suitable for food-grade applications?
Yes, this multi-compendial grade meets regulatory standards for use in food preservation, though specific usage guidelines should be followed.
How does Propyl Paraben Sodium differ from regular propylparaben?
The sodium salt form offers improved water solubility, making it easier to dissolve in aqueous solutions compared to the standard propylparaben.
Can this be used in cosmetic formulations?
