Physical and Chemical Characteristics
Chemical Identification
The active ingredients of KATHON CG preservative are two isothiazolinones, identified by the IUPAC system of nomenclature as: 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one Recommended Use Directions
The maximum recommended use level for KATHON CG preservative is 0.1% by weight of product as supplied (15 parts per million active ingredient) in rinse-off products and 0.05% (7.5 parts per million active ingredient) in leave-on products. Because the components of personal care formulations vary considerably and may have an impact on the effect of preservatives, we urge each manufacturer to confirm the efficacy and stability of KATHONCG in use.
