Product Description



Ethylparaben, scientifically known as Ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (C9H10O3), is a high-purity (99%) pharmaceutical-grade preservative widely used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products due to its antifungal and antimicrobial properties. This odorless, white crystalline powder features a slightly bitter taste and a neutral to slightly acidic pH level. With a melting point of 115-118C and a boiling point of 297C (with decomposition), it exhibits optimal stability in various formulations. Ethylparaben is slightly soluble in water but dissolves readily in alcohol and ether, making it highly adaptable across diverse applications. It has an EINECS No. of 204-399-4 and CAS No. 120-47-8. The product effectively meets stringent quality standards, with heavy metal content below 0.001%, loss on drying less than 0.5%, and particle size under 10 microns. Its molecular weight is approximately 166.17 g/mol. To ensure the products efficacy and extended shelf life of 2 years, it should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space with the container tightly sealed.
