4 2 PHYSICAL DATA 2.1 Melting range The pure and solid Pyrion-Disulfide will melt at about C ( F) with decomposition. 2.2 Solubility Pyrion-Disulfide is soluble in water. The solubility is 0,8-0,9 % of the pure compound or 2,0-2,3 % of the suspension at 20 C (68 F). This solubility is enough to formulate clear and transparent shampoos. The solubility of Pyrion-Disulfide in organic solvents is shown in the following table 1 : Ethanol 0,3 % Chloroform 3,8 % Dimethylformamide 0,8 % 2.3 Stability The aqueous suspension can be stored for a minimum of three years if the ph is between 4 and 8 and the temperature is between 10 and 25 C (50-77 F). Do not freeze. Pyrion-Disulfide is attacked by UV-light. We suggest to store Pyrion-Disulfide formulations in light-proof containers. If translucent containers are used a stability test should be done, especially when cationic or amphoteric surfactants are present (see also compatibility). 2.4 Compatibility Pyrion-Disulfide is compatible with most raw materials used in cosmetics. Merely if cationic or amphoteric surfactants are used an insoluble precipitate can be formed. Because this phenomenon also depends on the ph-value (acidic ph is preferred) and other ingredients (cationic conditioners) a stability test is highly recommended. Pyrion-Disulfide is compatible with many preservatives (eg. DMDM-Hydantoin, Parabenes, Isothiazolinones) and can be used together with them. 2.5 Density Density of the 40% suspension: approx. 1,12 g/cm³ 3

5 3 TOXICOLOGY Pyrion-Disulfide containing shampoos and hair lotions 2 are used worldwide. The safety as shown by studies is confirmed by the long history of its use. 3.1 Oral Toxicity Studies done by RÜ TGERS Organics GmbH showed, that the LD 50 of the acute oral toxicity of the pure dry Pyrion-Disulfide is 2000 mg/kg for rat. 3.2 Dermal Toxicity The dermal toxicity has been tested with six rabbits. According to the "Classification System for primary irritation" pure Pyrion-Disulfide is mildly irritating (Method: Code of Federal Regulation, Title 16, Section ). The LD 50 of the acute dermal toxicity of Pyrion-Disulfide has not been detected. There is no evidence that skin irritation occurs in the use of shampoos containing up to one percent pure Pyrion-Disulfide. 3.3 Eye Irritation The eye irritation has also been tested with rabbits. According to the "Classification System for primary irritation" a 0,8% Pyrion-Disulfide solution is non irritant (Method: Code of Federal Regulation, Title 16, Section ). 4

6 4 EFFECTIVENESS Pyrion-Disulfide is active against many gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as against many fungi and yeast's. The detailed mechanism of its activity is still unknown. It is suspected that Pyrion-Disulfide is effective in many ways, because its field of activity is extremely large. In view of the above mentioned context it is obvious that the effectiveness of Pyrion-Disulfide as an anti-dandruff agent is due to its antimicrobial activity. Tests have shown that Pyrion-Disulfide is more effective than Piroctone Olamin and shows reduced greasiness on the scalp 3. The following tables of the minimal inhibition concentrations give an overview over the broad activity of Pyrion-Disulfide as a 40 % suspension: 4.1 Antibacterial Spectrum of Pyrion-Disulfide (40%) Method: Series dilution of suspensions, Calculation: Maximum likelihood method (MIC = minimal inhibition concentration) MIC in mg/l (ppm) A KLEBSIELLA PNEUMONIAE 30,9 B ENTEROBACTER CLOACAE 27,8 C ESCHERICHIA COLI 24,8 D BACILLUS STEAROTHERMOPHILUS 12,3 E BACILLUS SUBTILIS 11,0 F STREPTOCOCCUS PYROGENES 10,9 G MICROCOCCUS EPIDERMIDIS 9,7 H MICROCOCCUS AUREUS 9,6 I SHIGELLA SONNEI 9,3 J SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM 8,4 5
