Description

Butyl 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.
