Methylparaben is an ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and is widely used as an antimicrobial preservative and pharmaceutical excipient. It is particularly useful for helping protect pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations from microbial contamination.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Methylparaben in India for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, personal-care, and other qualified formulation applications. The material can be supplied according to the required grade, purity, particle characteristics, packaging and applicable quality standards.
Methylparaben is commonly incorporated into formulations where preservation against microorganisms is required. It can be used alone or in combination with other preservatives depending on the formulation and regulatory requirements.
Applications include:
Methylparaben exhibits antimicrobial activity against a range of microorganisms and is commonly used as a preservative in aqueous and semisolid formulations.
Its effectiveness depends on factors such as concentration, formulation pH, solubility, packaging, presence of other formulation components, and combination with other preservatives.
Methylparaben is sometimes used with Propylparaben to obtain complementary preservative activity. The appropriate preservative system should always be established through formulation development and applicable regulatory requirements.
Methylparaben is chemically known as Methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. It contains a hydroxy group and an ester functional group attached to a benzene ring.
It is generally supplied as a white or almost white crystalline powder or crystals and has limited solubility in water.
