Specification:

Appearance                    White or slightly yellow crystalline powder

Identification                   Positive

Odor                         Almost odorless

Content                       Not less than 98%

Melting point                  130 - 135℃

Loss on drying                 Not more than 0.3%

Ash (SO4)                    Not more than 0.2%

PH value (1% aq. solu. 20℃)     8.5 – 10.0

Heavy metals                 Not more than 20ppm

Amino Ethanol                20.1 to 20.9% dried base

Solubility:      Freely soluble in 10% ethanol in water; soluble in solution containing surfactants in water or in 1%-10% ethanol; slightly soluble in water and in oil. The solubility in water varies by pH value, and is a litter larger in neutral or weak basic solution than in acid solution.

Thickening:     Piroctone Olamine increases the viscosity of many surfactant system

Stability:

a). pH: Stable in solution of pH 3 to pH 9.

b). Heat: Stable to heat, and to short time of high temperature above 80℃. DF-206 in shampoo of pH 5.5-7.0 remains stable after one year of storage at a temperature over 40℃.

c). Light: Decompose under direct ultraviolet radiation. So it should be protected from light.

d). Metals: An aqueous solution of Piroctone Olamine degrades in the presence of cupric and ferric ions.

Compatibility: Piroctone Olamine is compatible with many cosmetic ingredients,especially with cationic surfactants (tetramine salt) and cationic active components. In some cases, this re-mixture increase the solubility of Piroctone Olamine.
