Triclosan is gradually being replaced by diclosan in many application fields due to its potential harm to human health and the environment. The following are the reasons and methods for diclosan replacing triclosan:
Although triclosan is considered safe within a certain concentration range, many studies have shown that it may pose potential harm to the human body. For instance, it may interfere with the endocrine system, causing allergic and irritating reactions.
Diclosan has a strong broad-spectrum antibacterial and bactericidal effect, and at the same time, it has a certain ability to kill viruses. In terms of personal care, it is an important ingredient in oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash, and can effectively inhibit the growth of oral bacteria.
Although the chemical structure and properties of diclosan and triclosan are similar, diclosan is considered to be less toxic to the human body. Diclosan has a certain degree of irritation to the skin and respiratory tract at normal usage concentrations, but the impact of long-term exposure is relatively small.
Wide application fields:
Diclosan can be used as a substitute for triclosan in personal care products (such as toothpaste, mouthwash, shampoo, body wash, etc.), cosmetics (such as face cream, lotion, sunscreen, etc.), household cleaning products (such as dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, etc.) and healthcare products (such as disinfectants, bactericides, etc.).
When using any chemical substance, it is necessary to follow relevant regulations and safety standards and use it in accordance with the product instructions. Whether it is dichlorine or triclosan, it is necessary to ensure that their use does not cause harm to the environment and human health.
To sum up, diclosan has obvious advantages in terms of antibacterial effect, safety and environmental friendliness, and is gradually replacing triclosan in various application fields.
