In the realm of antibacterial agents, Diclosan, chemically known as 4,4'-dichloro-2-hydroxy diphenyl ether (TINOSAN HP 100), has emerged as a highly effective and versatile compound. This article delves into the properties, applications, market landscape of Diclosan.
Diclosan typically presents as a light brown transparent liquid. It is insoluble in water but can be dissolved in organic solvents and solutions of surfactants. This solubility characteristic enables it to be incorporated into a wide range of formulations.
One of the remarkable chemical features of Diclosan is its stability. It demonstrates excellent stability in alkaline environments and can withstand high temperatures up to 200°C. Additionally, it has good compatibility. Diclosan can be formulated with anionic, non - ionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants, making it highly adaptable in different product formulations. It remains stable within a broad pH range, which further contributes to its wide - spread use.
Diclosan is a safe and highly efficient broad - spectrum antibacterial agent. It works by targeting the enoyl - acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR) in bacteria. By blocking this key enzyme in the bacterial fatty acid synthesis pathway, Diclosan disrupts the normal energy metabolism of pathogenic bacteria. As a result, the bacteria lose their viability. Research indicates that a concentration as low as 0.01% of Diclosan can inhibit over 90% of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus within 30 seconds.
Household and Fabric Care Products: In laundry detergents, the recommended addition amount of Diclosan is ≤0.6%. It helps to kill bacteria and fungi on clothes, preventing unpleasant odors and fabric degradation. In fabric softeners, an addition of 0.3 - 0.6% can endow fabrics with long - lasting antibacterial properties.
Kitchen and Hard - Surface Cleaning Products: For kitchen cleaners and floor cleaners, adding 0.2% of Diclosan can effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, and molds on these surfaces. In dishwashing liquids (detergents), a 0.2% addition can ensure clean and germ - free tableware. Wet wipes often contain 0.05% Diclosan to keep hands clean and free from bacteria when water is not readily available.
Surgical Instrument Disinfection: Due to its high antibacterial efficiency and low irritation, Diclosan can be used to disinfect surgical instruments, reducing the risk of cross - infection in the operating room.
Medical Dressings: It is also an ideal ingredient for medical dressings. The slow - release properties of Diclosan in dressings can continuously inhibit the growth of bacteria around the wound, promoting wound healing.
Antibacterial Textiles: Diclosan is added to textiles such as bed sheets, towels, and socks. These antibacterial textiles can continuously release the antibacterial component, effectively inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and keeping the textiles fresh for a long time.
Antibacterial Plastic Products: In plastic products like garbage bags, food containers, and children's toys, the addition of Diclosan can prevent the growth of bacteria, ensuring the safety and hygiene of these products.
With the increasing awareness of health and hygiene among consumers globally, the demand for antibacterial products has been on the rise. Diclosan, with its superior antibacterial properties, has seen a growing market share in recent years. It is gradually replacing some traditional antibacterial agents. For example, compared to triclosan, Diclosan has lower irritation to the human body as it has one less chlorine atom, which gives it a competitive edge in the market.
