PROPERTIES
The combination of biocides in ROKONSAL PL-2 shows a broad spectrum of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeast and fungi. This in general causes low use-concentrations.

APPLICATIONS
ROKONSAL PL-2 has proven to be an effective preserving system for rinse-off-products like shampoos, shower-gels, foam-baths etc. Even microbiologically sensitive products with protein-components can be protected with ROKONSAL PL-2.

Due to its good skin-compatibility ROKONSAL PL-2 is suitable for high-quality care-cosmetics like creams, emulsions, lotions and gels. On account of its good dispensability it can be used in O/W-emulsions as well as in W/O-emulsions.

ROKONSAL PL-2 has a good fungicidal effect. Hence its use is recommended in products that are sensitive to mould growth like wet tissues.

Based on the strong synergism of the components of ROKONSAL PL-2 this preservative showed to be very effective in protein-solutions and detergents containing proteins used in cosmetics.
