Formulation Recommendations
  • Readily soluble in the presence of water and a polar organic compound
  • Can also be pre-solubilized in the surfactant component
  • Should be added below temperatures of 40˚C
  • It can be pre-solubilized in a combination of water and polar organic component
  • Some of the commonly used polar organic compounds are as follows:
    1. Anionic surfactants
    2. Nonionic surfactants
    3. Cationic surfactants
    4. Alcohols
    5. Glycols
    6. Glycol Ethers
  • Can be used between pH 2–10, although end user should confirm the stability and efficacy in each specific system
  • Can be inactivated by strong reducing agents, acids and bases
  • Typically needs to be used in combination with a bactericide
  • DMDMH (Glydant® products), phenoxyethanol, CMI/MI (Isocil® products) or other bactericide can be used
  • Formulator to confirm that there are no patent issues

Technical Details & Test Data

Efficacy Shampoo

Microbiological Challenge Studies
Studies were run using various concentrations of Glycacil® L in various formulations to see efficacy on a mixed inoculum of fungi. All samples were inoculated at the beginning of the study, sampled at 24 hours, 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days.
