Hydamer™ DCMF

Hydamer DCMF reduces skin irritations; Hydamer DCMF is a modular active substance for tailor-made concepts and has an anti-microbial effect

In order to obtain a clear, aqueous solution, small amounts of acids must be added, e.g. for a 1% solution about 0.4 – 0.6 % of acid is needed. It is recommended to only use glycolic, benzoic, acetic or lactic acid, but citric or tartaric acid is not suitable to use.; It is suggested to produce the solution at room temperature by using the following procedure: add water to Hydamer™ DCMF and stir it briefly to obtain a dispersion. Then the acid solution (e.g. pre-dissolved glycolic acid in a small amount of water) should be added gradually. Stir the mixture gently until it becomes a clear solution (within 30-60 min). The pH of the resulting solution must be adjusted to pH 4 to 5. The final formulation pH must be less than 6.0.; Depending on the intended application, it is recommended to filter the solution before it is incorporated into the formulation. Hydamer™ DCMF is not compatible with anionic compounds. It is limited compatible with isopropanol (e.g. a 2 % solution of Hydamer™ DCMF with max 40 % isopropanol) and with more than 60 % ethanol (with a-hydroxy-isobutyric acid: compatible up to 80 % ethanol).; Hydamer™ DCMF is not suitable for use in alkaline formulations such as deo-sticks. The application concentration should be in the range from 0.05 to 0.2 % AS.
