Description
Iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, commonly abbreviated as IPBC and also known under trade names such as Iodocarb and ASC 67000, is a halogenated organic compound registered under CAS 55406-53-6 and EC 259-627-5. It carries no E-code designation and is classified within the agrochemical and biocidal product categories.
In architectural coatings and adhesives, IPBC functions as a film preservative by disrupting fungal cell metabolism, providing effective protection against mould and mildew at low active concentrations. In personal care formulations, it serves as a leave-on and rinse-off antimicrobial agent, typically combined with other preservatives to broaden the spectrum of microbial control.
This material is supplied as a neat liquid and is subject to REACH registration requirements within the European Economic Area. Procurement teams should verify compliance with the Biocidal Products Regulation for relevant product types. Standard packaging formats and minimum order quantities are available on request from our sales team.
