Product Introduction
Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC), commonly known as CPC, belongs to the class of quaternary ammonium salts. It serves as a broad-spectrum, safe, and efficient bactericide as a cationic surfactant. At low doses, it exhibits broad-spectrum bactericidal effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi. As an antibacterial agent, it effectively prevents and reduces plaque formation induced by oral bacteria such as streptococci, lactobacilli, staphylococci, and bacilli. When incorporated into oral care products, it provides sustained and effective prevention of dental plaque and reduction of gingivitis.
This ingredient features mild acidity and is easy to handle, biodegradable, odorless, soluble, and exhibits good stability. It is non-corrosive, VOC-free, and lacks oxidative compounds. It can serve as an excellent alternative to formaldehyde donors, parabens, triclosan, triclocarban, benzalkonium chloride, and chlorhexidine gluconate as a bactericidal/antibacterial raw material.
