Suttocide A is sold as a 50% aqueous
solution of sodium hydroxymethylglycinate. The solution is a clear
alkaline liquid with a mild characteristic odor. This single
preservative is a broad spectrum antimicrobial that is active
against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, yeast and mold,
even at low concentrations, providing cost-effective preservation.
Suttocide A remains active at a pH as high as 12, and can be
used in acidic conditions as low as pH 3.5, giving the formulator
very broad flexibility as well as allowing adequate preservation of
alkaline products. Suttocide A can also be used to neutralize acidic
compounds, without any loss of antimicrobial activity.
APPLICATIONS
Suttocide A is
permanently listed by the EU at levels up to 0.5% active without

Suttocide A is a broad spectrum antimicrobial
for use in shampoos and conditioners, when used at 0.1-0.2% (as
supplied). This provides a safe and cost effective preservative
system.
Suttocide A is sold as a pH 10-12 aqueous solution
and can be used to react with Stabileze® 06 or to neutralize
carbomer to form stable clear gels without losing its antimicrobial
activity. Suttocide A is synergistic with other preservatives.
Suttocide A in combination with LiquaPar® Oil is particularly
effective for preserving complex formulations.
Suttocide A
is stable and active up to pH 12 and can also be used in acidic
conditions as low as 3.5, giving the formulator very broa d pH flexibility as well as being able to adequately
preserve alkaline products, e.g. soap bars.
