Product Description
EPH, ethylene glycol phenyl ether, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, not unpleasant odor.
The presence of aromatic and aliphatic structural elements in the molecule of EPH results in a substance that is characterized by high organic solubility, low water solubility and a low water content.
EPH also exhibits very good film-forming aid properties.
EPH is used as a preservative in cosmetics and has a wide range of antibacterial activities.It is effective against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, as well as yeast, but has a weak inhibitory effect on the intrinsic microbiota of the skin.
