TCC and TCS: Away From Microorganism and Viruses

Triclosan (TCS) is an efficient, broad-spectrum, low toxicity and nonionic disinfectant. Its molecular formula is 3380-34-5. TCS has stable chemical property. In the condition of high temperature, low pH or high pH, it can still keep its original nature. Chlorine atom in the molecular structure exists in the form of molecular, therefore, TCS can't release out any free chlorine, which avoid environment pollution. Since it does not go through the liver and kidney, it does not show any signs of toxicity. That's why it is internationally recognized as special fungicide and Triclosan antibacterial solvents outlet also have a place in the international trade.

For general common bacteria, fungi, yeast and other pathogens, Triclosan functions as bactericide and inhibitor. At relatively low concentrations, TCS can effectively suppress and kill most kinds of Gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, as well as a variety of fungus and virus, rapid and long-lasting. It has good skin compatibility and it is safe to human beings and environment. TCS is widely added to toothpaste, soap, deodorant, mouthwash, shaving cream and other daily chemical products.


Triclocarban (TCC) is a safe, efficient, long-lasting antimicrobial agent with the molecular formula of 102-20-2. Like Triclosan, Triclocarban has pH stability. It is compatible with a variety of cosmetic products without bad smell. It generate lasting effect with low dose, hence, it can be widely used as active ingredients of various cosmetic and medical disinfection products'. TCC severs as sterilization, antibacterial and deodorant ingredients in soap, shampoo, shower gel, hand sanitizer, facial cleanser, essence, anti-acne cream, detergent, laundry detergent, trauma cream, cosmetics, shaving cream, toothpaste, mouthwash, antibacterial dishwashing detergent, wounds disinfect agents, fabric antibacterial agents, medical disinfectants, fiber textiles and underarm odor and athlete's foot products. It also has good skin compatibility and efficient suppression and resistance for Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, molds, yeasts and viruses.


TCC has the following characteristics: color stability, persistent, efficient compatibility and broad spectrum. Compared with conventional chlorine-based and oxygen-based fungicides, its prominent advantage is excellent stability, compatibility, less dose and lasting effect, without any unpleasant smell. Even if the solution is diluted to three million times Triclocarban can also completely inhibited the growth of certain pathogenic bacteria.


Triclocarban in antiseptic aspects is similar to Triclosan. In terms of physical and chemical properties, TCS has better solubility. But many reports suspected that triclosan 3380-34-5 may be carcinogenic. Taking the price and environmental aspects into consideration, TCC seems have more advantages. Which one to choose is all by you.
