Technical Details & Test Data
- Science Behind
This alternative preservation component contributes to creating a hostile environment for microbial growth as part of a Hurdle Technology approach. Spectrastat™ PG can be a complete system for certain formulations or a component of your broad spectrum customized system.
- Caprylhydroxamic Acid: A multifunctional component. It is a 100% natural organic acid and chelating agent that prevents the growth of yeast and mold in formulation. Unlike most organic acids used in preservation, caprylhydroxamic acid remains undissociated at neutral pH.
- Propylene Glycol: A carrier for ease of formulation
