In our daily lives, we rely on disinfectants and antibacterial ingredients to keep our families healthy and our environments clean. But for years, many of these products have relied on harsh chemicals, raising concerns about their long-term safety for us and our planet.
We thereby introduce Diclosan (4,4'-dichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether), a next-generation antibacterial agent engineered for superior performance without the drawbacks of older technologies. It’s time for a smarter, cleaner, and safer approach to disinfection.
Why Move Beyond Triclosan?
For decades, Triclosan (2,4,4'-Trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether) was a commonly used antibacterial component in many personal/household care products. However, scientific studies have revealed significant concerns that can no longer be ignored:
Health Risks: Research has linked Triclosan to potential health issues, including gut inflammation and it has been identified as a potential liver toxin and tumor promoter in animal studies.
In addition it is faced with increased regulation: due to these risks, the U.S. FDA issued a final rule stating that over-the-counter consumer antiseptic wash products (including hand soaps formulated as liquids, foams, and gels; bar soaps; and body washes) containing certain active ingredients (including triclosan) will no longer be permitted to be marketed.
The message is clear that the future of disinfection must be safer.
| Aspect | Triclosan | Diclosan |
| Antibacterial Efficacy | Both shows excellent antibacterial performance | |
| Required Concentration | Small dosage required | |
| Safety Profile | potentialcarcinogenic hazard | No specific health risks are mentioned in the search results. It is described as a "safe and efficient" broad-spectrum bacteriostatic agent |
| Environmental Impact | Persists in water environments and is difficult to degrade, posing a potential threat to aquatic life and human health | Reported to break down easily after use and not pollute soil or water sources |
