- DESCRIPTION
CAS Number: 3380-34-5
INCI: Triclosan
Composition: Triclosan is a chlorinated aromatic compound, typically synthesized through chemical processes. It consists of a phenyl ring with chlorinated substituents and a functional group containing an ether linkage.
Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable
Appearance: Triclosan is usually a white to off-white crystalline powder or solid.
Solubility: Triclosan is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone.
Preservation: Triclosan itself exhibits antimicrobial properties, which can help preserve products in which it is used. However, its use as a preservative in personal care products has been limited due to concerns about its potential impact on human health and the environment.
Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature
Country of Origin: India
Raw Material Source : The raw materials for Triclosan production include phenol and chlorine, which undergo chlorination and synthesis processes to produce the final compound. These raw materials are derived from petrochemical sources and undergo rigorous purification to obtain high-purity Triclosan.
Manufacture: Triclosan is manufactured through a series of chemical reactions involving the chlorination of phenol to form 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, which is then further reacted with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde to produce Triclosan. The synthesis typically involves multiple steps under controlled conditions to achieve the desired purity and yield.
Animal Testing: Not animal tested
GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)
Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components
Proposition: TRICLOSAN complies with relevant regulations and guidelines
Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling. Keep out of reach of children.
General Description:
Triclosan is a synthetic chemical compound with broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties. It is typically white or colorless and is often found as an ingredient in various personal care products, household items, and medical products.
- Uses in Personal Care Products:
Triclosan has been historically used in personal care products such as: - Antibacterial Soaps: It was commonly used in antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers to reduce or prevent bacterial contamination.
- Toothpaste: Triclosan was also used in some toothpaste formulations for its antibacterial properties, aimed at reducing plaque and gingivitis.
- Environmental and Health Concerns:
Triclosan has raised several environmental and health concerns, leading to regulatory actions in many countries: - Environmental Persistence: Triclosan is known to persist in the environment, where it can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems and impact aquatic organisms.
- Antibiotic Resistance: Prolonged use of Triclosan has been linked to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, potentially reducing the effectiveness of antibiotics in medical treatments.
- Endocrine Disruption: Some studies suggest that Triclosan may disrupt hormone function in animals, raising concerns about potential effects on human health, particularly with long-term exposure.
- Regulatory Restrictions: Due to these concerns, regulatory agencies in several countries, including the United States and the European Union, have restricted or banned the use of Triclosan in certain products, including cosmetics and personal care items.
