CAS 94-26-8
:Butylparaben
Description:
Butylparaben, with the CAS number 94-26-8, is an organic compound belonging to the paraben family, which are widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products. It is a colorless to white crystalline solid that is soluble in alcohol and oils but has limited solubility in water. Butylparaben is known for its antimicrobial properties, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi, which helps extend the shelf life of products. Its chemical structure features a butyl group attached to a para-hydroxybenzoic acid moiety, contributing to its effectiveness as a preservative. While generally recognized as safe in low concentrations, there has been ongoing debate regarding its potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny in some regions. Butylparaben is typically used in conjunction with other parabens to enhance preservative efficacy and is often found in lotions, shampoos, and various personal care items. As with all chemical substances, proper handling and awareness of potential sensitivities are recommended.

CAS:Controlled ProductButyl parabens are a group of preservatives that are commonly used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products to protect against microbial growth. They have been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity in humans and animals. Butyl parabens may also be produced during the treatment of wastewater by benzalkonium chloride. This study found that butylparaben concentrations were higher in the treated wastewater than in the untreated wastewater. Butylparaben is toxic to 3T3-L1 preadipocytes, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis and cell division. The matrix effect caused by butylparaben on the substrate film has been studied extensively. The reaction solution between p-hydroxybenzoic acid and butylparaben was investigated by applying it as a preservative onto a film of poly(vinyl acetate) at different rates of concentration.Formula:C11H14O3Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:194.23 g/mol
