Usage |
The function of Piroctone Olamine:
Anti-fungal Properties:
Piroctone Olamine is a pyridine derivative that exhibits potent anti-fungal activity. It is effective against a broad spectrum of fungi, including molds and yeasts. By penetrating the cell membrane and forming complexes with iron ions, it inhibits energy metabolism in mitochondria, thereby inhibiting fungal growth.
Applications in Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
Dandruff Removal and Itch Relief: Piroctone Olamine is commonly used in hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners as a dandruff remover and itch reliever.
Antiseptic and Bactericidal Effects: It has antibacterial and deodorizing properties, making it suitable for use in bath products and other personal care items.
Preservative in Cosmetics: In addition to its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, Piroctone Olamine also serves as a preservative in cosmetics, helping to extend the shelf life of these products.
Other Applications:
As a Fungicide: Piroctone Olamine can be used as a fungicide in various settings, such as in agriculture or in the preservation of materials.
In Soap Products: It can act as a bactericide in soap, and also provides a thickening effect.
