Modified Biocide (Triclosan) with Water Soluble Characteristics
RFT-207
Scientists at North Dakota State University have invented a modified version of Triclosan (TCS) - Epoxy-Triclosan (ETCS) that is water soluble and has very different solubility characteristics than TCS.
While TCS is known to have restricted utility due to its limited solubility characteristics, this water soluble Epoxy-Triclosan maintains the same broad range biocidal activity as TCS and yet has solubility properties that enables it to be amenable to a wider range of applications, particularly in formulations used in cosmetics, creams and personal hygiene products.
