K2000 Preservative

K2000 (DMDMH)

• High-efficiency, low-cost bactericide

• Easy to use, soluble in water and lower alcohols, stable in both aqueous and oil emulsions

• Compatible with cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactants, emulsifiers, and proteins
• Stable over a wide pH and temperature range for extended periods

• Recommended usage concentration of 0.2% to 0.6% for safe application

Usage Recommendations      

• Due to its unique water solubility, it can be added to creams and rinse-off personal care formulations at a concentration of 0.2% to 0.6%.
• K2000 can be added at room temperature or at temperatures up to 80°C. It remains stable for 6 hours at high temperatures but is best added during the cooling phase.
• If K2000 is added to surfactants, the temperature is typically between 50°C and 60°C, with a pH range of 7.5 to 8.5.
• Due to the wide variation in ingredients and formulations of personal care products, which may affect the efficacy of preservatives, we strongly recommend verifying the efficacy and stability of K2000 before production.
