LOCRON P is an antiperspirant agent for the cosmetic industry.
LOCRON P is most suitable for anhydrous types of perspiration-reducing preparations, such as powder-sprays, suspension-sprays or sticks.
LOCRON P can also be incorporated in skin lotions, skin creams, and shaving lotions to achieve a slight astringent effect.
LOCRON P acts as a long-term perspiration regulating agent.
LOCRON P offers low iron qualities for reduced yellowing.
LOCRON P is used in antiperspirant, deodorant, creams, lotions and aftershave formulations.
Aluminum hydroxychlorides in solid form (LOCRON S, LOCRON P).
LOCRON P id a mild astringent that reduces perspiration and has a slight deodorising effect.
LOCRON P is used in a wide range of antiperspirant and deodorant formulations.
LOCRON P is widely used in perspiration-reducing preparations.
All LOCRON grades can also be incorporated in skin lotions, skin creams and shaving lotions to achieve a slight adstringent effect.
The LOCRON grades are aluminum hydroxychlorides in solid form (LOCRON S, LOCRON P) or as a 50 % aqueous solutions (LOCRON L, LIC, LIF).
LOCRON P is therefore used in a wide range of antiperspirant and deodorant formulations.
LOCRON P has been used on a growing scale for many years throughout the world as an active ingredient in antiperspirant products.
LOCRON P is generally well tolerated also on long-term use.
Although LOCRON is beeing well tolerated, dermatological trials should be carried with the final antiperspirant/deodorant formulation to establish beyond doubt that no skin irritation is caused by the combination of products, each of which is in itself non-irritant.
LOCRON L and LOCRON P are high performing and well known antiperspirant agents for the cosmetic industry.
Applications of LOCRON P:
The LOCRON grades are widely used in perspirationreducing preparations.
LOCRON P is most suitable for anhydrous products like powder-sprays, suspension sprays or sticks.
LOCRON S may be used to generate aqueous solutions of aluminum chlorohydrate.
LOCRON L, LOCRON LIC and LOCRON LIF are used for roll-ons, pump-sprays, emulsions and aqueous gels.
All LOCRON grades can also be incorporated in skin lotions, skin creams and shaving lotions to achieve a slight adstringent effect.
Other Applications of LOCRON P:
Toiletries (Shower & Bath, Oral care...) > Antiperspirants & deodorants
Uses of LOCRON P:
Poly aluminum can remove bacteria, deodorization, decolorization, fluoride, aluminum, chromium, phenol, oil, turbidity, in addition to heavy metal salts, in addition to radioactive pollutants, to purify a variety of water has a wide range of uses.
Usage Concentration of LOCRON P:
For antiperspirant products using LOCRON as the sole ingredient, the active concentration of aluminum chlorohydrate is chosen in the range of 5 – 25 %.
If combined with other active ingredients, the active content can be lowered accordingly.
For aqueous formulations like pumpsprays or roll-ons a 24 h effect is generally seen at about 10 % active concentration (i.e. 20 % LOCRON L or LOCRON LIC).
Solubility of LOCRON P:
Solid LOCRON types (LOCRON P, LOCRON S) are soluble in water up to approx. 60 % (m/m).
They are almost insoluble in absolute ethanol and only sparingly soluble in higher molecular weight monovalent and multivalent alcohols.
Liquid LOCRON types (LOCRON L, LIC, LIF) are miscible with ethanol or glycerol in any ratio.
LOCRON S should be used rather than LOCRON P for preparing aqueous solutions because the former dissolves more rapidly in water.
Moreover solutions of LOCRON S have greater clarity, although optimum clarity is obtained only after the solution has been left to stand for about 24 hours.
LOCRON LIC and LOCRON LIF are especially suited for clear formulations, because they show improved clarity compared to LOCRON L.
Additionally, due to the reduced iron content of LOCRON LIC and LOCRON LIF, problems with yellowing of clothes are minimized.
Stability of LOCRON P:
LOCRON is stable in an acid aqueous medium, but aluminum hydroxide is precipitated if the pH is adjusted to above pH 5 with base.
If heated, LOCRON P releases water and hydrochloric acid.
Rising temperatures lead in turn to the formation of aluminium hydroxide gels, γ-aluminium oxide and finally α aluminium oxide (corundum).
Physical and Chemical Properties of LOCRON P:
LOCRON P is a colorless or yellow resinous solid.
LOCRON P's solution is colorless or yellow-brown transparent liquid, sometimes containing impurities and gray-black mucus.
Manufacture of LOCRON P:
Reaction of aluminum or compounds containing aluminium with hydrochloric acid.
Storage of LOCRON P:
2 years storage stability for all LOCRON types stored in originally sealed containers.
LOCRON S and P are hygroscopic and should therefore be kept in a dry place.
Once containers have been opened, their contents should be used without delay since there is a risk of agglomeration caused by the adsorption of moisture from the atmosphere.
Agglomerates are frequently the cause of valve blockage in aerosol products.
Handling and Storage of LOCRON P:
Advice on safe handling:
No special measures necessary if used correctly.
Avoid the formation and deposition of dust.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
No special measures necessary
Requirements for storage rooms and vessels:
Keep only in the original container.
Further information on storage conditions:
Keep container dry.
First Aid Measures of LOCRON P:
General information:
Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately
After contact with eyes:
In case of contact with eyes rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
After ingestion:
Call in a physician immediately and show him the Safety Data Sheet.
Accidental Release Measures of LOCRON P:
Personal precautions:
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Avoid dust formation.
Use personal protective clothing.
