- Features
Hydamer™ CMFL is a deodorizing agent, which optimally combines antimicrobial effectiveness with the excellent skin care properties of chitosan. It acts by inhibiting bacterial growth, thus preventing the excessive generation of odor-forming substances.
Applications & Uses

- AP/Deo Applications
- Applications and Uses
Hydamer™ CMFL is not compatible with anionic compounds. It is limited compatible with isopropanol (e.g. a 2% solution of Hydamer™ CMFL with max 40% isopropanol) and with more than 60% ethanol (with a-hydroxy-isobutyric acid: compatible up to 80% ethanol). Hydamer™ CMFL is not suitable for use in alkaline formulations such as deo-sticks. The application concentration should be in the range from 0.05 to 0.2% AS.
