- Benefits
- Hydamer DCMF reduces skin irritations
- Hydamer DCMF is a modular active substance for tailor-made concepts and has an anti-microbial effect
- Product Highlights
- To efficiently stop unpleasant body odor, every component which can contribute to odor formation has to be inhibited. DCMF has multiple active mechanisms and acts as the key active ingredient which prevents bacterial growth. It has an anti-microbial effect, while the effect is enhanced due to its ability to promote perfume adhesion and masks any odor production through prolonged fragrance retention.
- DCMF is extremely skin compatible and mild, reducing skin irritation and improving sensory parameters to promote a pleasant skin sensation. Due to its combability with a wide range of other ingredients can DCMF be regarded as modular active substance and the perfect ingredient for tailor-made concepts.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Usage Procedure
- In order to obtain a clear, aqueous solution, small amounts of acids must be added, e.g. for a 1% solution about 0.4 – 0.6 % of acid is needed. It is recommended to only use glycolic, benzoic, acetic or lactic acid, but citric or tartaric acid is not suitable to use.
- It is suggested to produce the solution at room temperature by using the following procedure: add water to Hydamer™ DCMF and stir it briefly to obtain a dispersion. Then the acid solution (e.g. pre-dissolved glycolic acid in a small amount of water) should be added gradually. Stir the mixture gently until it becomes a clear solution (within 30-60 min). The pH of the resulting solution must be adjusted to pH 4 to 5. The final formulation pH must be less than 6.0.
- Depending on the intended application, it is recommended to filter the solution before it is incorporated into the formulation. Hydamer™ DCMF is not compatible with anionic compounds. It is limited compatible with isopropanol (e.g. a 2 % solution of Hydamer™ DCMF with max 40 % isopropanol) and with more than 60 % ethanol (with a-hydroxy-isobutyric acid: compatible up to 80 % ethanol).
- Hydamer™ DCMF 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.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 4 Years
- Storage & Shelf life
Hydamer™ DCMF remains stable for at least four years in its original unopened container protected from moisture and at temperatures below 30⁰C. Upon request, Chitinor can test the most critical characteristics of Hydamer™ DCMF. If the tests are within limits of the quality control data, the retest date can be prolonged for another year. Hydamer™ DCMF does not contain any preservatives. Store the containers indoor prevented from sunlight.
