摘要 |
The present invention provides a highly stable formulation having broad spectrum preservative properties. The formulation is an admixture of dialkanol-substituted dimethyhydantoin, one or more isothiazolone compounds, a hydantoin stabilizer, and a hydroxyl solvent. The formulation is highly stable in pH ranges of about 4 to 8. Preferably the active components are dimethyloldimethylhydantoin, chloromethylisothiazolone and methylisothiazolone, and the stabilizer dimethylhydantoin. The formulation has a free formaldehyde content of less than 0.2% and is beneficial for preserving various aqueous compositions, including household and industrial products, and especially personal care products, which require a less acidic pH range than in which isothiazolone is stable in the presence of cationic salts.
