Easy to Formulate and Stable in a Variety of Formulation Matrices
- SILVÉRION® 2400 is a low viscosity liquid which can be easily dosed. The highly water soluble antimicrobial can be incorporated into the aqueous phase of gels, surfactants and emulsions produced in a cold process.
- In the manufacturing of emulsions produced by hot processes, the antimicrobial active must be added to the final formulation after the emulsion has cooled down. Exposure of the antimicrobial active to pH higher than 7 should be avoided in order to achieve optimal formulation stability.
