Technical profile of Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, a high-purity raw chemical material supplied by Triveni Chemicals for industrial manufacturing and laboratory synthesis.


Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (IPBC) is a broad-spectrum preservative widely used for its strong antifungal and antimicrobial properties. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and stable under recommended storage conditions, though sensitive to high temperatures and light.
It is extensively used in personal care products such as lotions, creams, shampoos, and wet wipes to prevent microbial contamination and extend shelf life. In industrial applications, it is used as a preservative in paints, coatings, adhesives, and wood protection formulations. It is particularly effective against mold and yeast, making it valuable in products exposed to moisture. In cosmetics, it is often used in combination with other preservatives for enhanced efficacy. Due to its effectiveness at low concentrations, it is a cost-efficient solution, but its usage is regulated to ensure safety and compliance.
