Applications:
The active ingredients of ALT-KT are globally approved as a safe,effective
preservative for rinse-off products such as shampoos and conditioners. It is
listed in the USA and the EU respectively as an approved cosmetic preservative
at levels up to 0.0015% of active ingredients. ALT-KT does not bioaccumulate.
It is biodegradable and degrades rapidly to non-toxic, non-persistent substances
in the environment. ALT-KT is effective and stable up to PH 8. It is generally
compatible with most components of formulations. However, the presence of a
few agents such as thiols, mercaptans, secondary amines, sulfides and other
nucleophiles will cause degradation of the active ingredients. Conditions of
temperatures in excess of 50℃ for long periods of time and pH above 8 will
lead to loss of activity. The maximum recommended use level is 0.1% by weight
of product as supplied in rinse-off products and 0.05% in leave-on products.
