How is the chemical identity of Triclocarban CAS 101-20-2 distinguished from other carbanilide derivatives?

The identity is confirmed through melting point analysis and HPLC retention time comparison against a certified reference standard. The specific chlorinated substitution pattern at the 3, 4, and 4' positions defines its unique bacteriostatic profile and distinguishes it from simpler urea-based intermediates.

Is this material suitable for incorporation into high-temperature polymer processing?

Triclocarban exhibits high thermal stability with a melting point exceeding 250°C. It is commonly used in industrial processes involving heat, provided the processing temperature does not exceed its decomposition threshold, ensuring the bacteriostatic properties remain intact after extrusion or molding.

Triclocarban Powder CAS 101-20-2

Triclocarban CAS 101-20-2 is a highly effective carbanilide derivative functioning as a persistent bacteriostatic agent within the Biocides & Preservatives sector. As a fine white powder, this 3,4,4'-Trichlorocarbanilide works through the disruption of microbial cell membrane integrity, specifically targeting gram-positive bacteria in diverse industrial applications. This TCC compound is characterized by its high lipophilicity and low water solubility, making it a preferred Triclocarbanum choice for integration into solid and non-aqueous surfactant matrices. Beyond its primary role, N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N'-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea serves as a stable chemical intermediate in specialized industrial coatings and textile treatments where long-term antimicrobial protection is required. Our production lines ensure competitive factory pricing for bulk procurement, offering customized specifications regarding particle size and purity levels. Detailed technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA, is provided with every shipment to ensure full compliance for bulk supply operations.

Industrial Surfactants: Integrated into specialized industrial cleansing bars and detergents where persistent bacteriostatic activity is required on surfaces.
Textile Auxiliaries: Applied in the treatment of technical textiles to prevent microbial degradation and odor formation in industrial fabrics.
Polymer Additives: Used as a preservative in plastics and rubber materials to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi during the product’s service life.

Storage & Safety

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
Safety (PPE): Use a dust mask or respirator (N95 or equivalent), safety goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves. Avoid direct skin contact and dust inhalation. Ensure the work area is equipped with an eyewash station.

Quality Assurance

Our quality control laboratory employs high-resolution High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to monitor both active content and trace impurities, such as residual chloroanilines. By maintaining strict adherence to industrial manufacturing standards, we ensure that the physical properties—specifically particle size distribution—remain consistent for optimal dispersion in various industrial formulation bases.
