Product Overview
Caprylhydroxamic Acid is an organic acid preservative booster, renowned for its effective mold growth inhibition. As a preservative booster, it also chelates metal ions, binding with metals in the formulation to prevent degradation caused by metal ion catalysis and enhance overall preservation efficacy.
Product Features:
Organic Acid — Naturally derived preservation booster solution
High Mold Inhibition — Effectively inhibits mold growth
Metal Ion Chelation — Prevents metal-ion-catalyzed deterioration
Wide pH Applicability — Remains stable across a wide pH range
Electrolyte Resistant — Good compatibility with various Surfactant systems
Low Irritation — Gentle and mild to the skin
Recommended dosage: 0.3%–3.0%
