What Is Methylparaben?
Methylparaben (methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate), CAS 99-76-3, is a preservative active against moulds, yeasts and gram-positive bacteria. It is used in cosmetics, personal-care products and other formulations where permitted, often together with propylparaben or other preservatives.
The crystalline grade has assay 99.0–101.0%, with limits on melting range, acidity, loss on drying and residues. Methylparaben has limited water solubility, so it is usually dissolved in hot water, glycols or the oil phase.
Allowed uses and maximum concentrations differ by market and product type, and preservation must be confirmed by challenge testing. It ships as UN 3077, Class 9, packing group III.
As a methylparaben supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the white crystalline powder in 10 kg or 25 kg cardboard drums, or cartons of 20 × 1 kg. Lead time is about 14 days from order confirmation.
