Uses
PROPYL PARABEN is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent designedfor preservation of a wide range of cosmetics,toiletries and topical pharmaceuticals.
PROPYLPARABEN is suitable to preserve both rinse- off and leave- on formulations.
Applications
Typical use concentrations of PROPYLPARABEN is 0.1 – 0.3 %.
Combinations of p- Hydroxybenzoic acid esters, e.g.with Nipagin M, Nipagin A or Nipabutyl exhibit increased activity compared with individual esters.
Incorporation
PROPYL PARABEN is freely soluble in most oils, waxes, fatty alcohols, but have relatively low solubility in water.
The low aqueous solubility does not affect the microbiological efficacy of the esters.
Most formulations requiring preservation contain a significant amount of water.
This may mean that PROPYL PARABEN cannot readily be added directly to the formulation.
Other methods of incorporation are quite straightforward however, and are listed below.
Dissolving in water
The solubility of PROPYL PARABEN increases greatly as the temperature of the water rises.
Therefore a concentrate may be made up by heating an appropriate quantity of water to 60- 100 °C prior to addition of PROPYL PARABEN.
This concentrate may then be added to the formulation, provided that the ester concentration does not exceed its solubility in the formulation at normal ambient temperatures.
Dissolving in organic solvents PROPYL PARABEN is readily soluble in polar organic solvents.
Where such a solvent is already part of a formulation an PROPYL PARABEN concentrate may be made up prior to addition.
If a suitable solvent is not already part of the formulation, a highly concentrated solution may be made up e.g. 32 % in Ethanol, which would give insignificant residual levels of ethanol in the end product.
Solubilisation in oils, emulsifiers etc.
PROPYLPARABEN is readily soluble in lipophilic ingredients and may be introduced to a formulation by adding to the oil phase with some warming before any emulsification stage.
In multiphase systems, such as emulsions, it is often advisable to use a combination of aqueous dissolution with either of the other methods to ensure adequate preservation.
The ester may be incorporated in the water to its maximum solubility and any further quantities may be dissolved in the oil phase, or solvent, as appropriate.
pH stability
PROPYL PARABEN remains fully stable over a wide pH range from 4- 8.
In general the lower the pH of the formulation, the more active is PROPYL PARABEN.
That can result in a lower use concentration when the pH of the formulation is more acidic.
Temperature stability
PROPYL PARABEN is stable up to 80 °C.

First mix p-hydroxybenzoic acid with propanol and heat to dissolve.
Then add sulfuric acid slowly and continue to heat for 8h of refluxion.
After cooling, pour them into the 4% sodium carbonate solution for precipitation and crystallization.
Filtrate and wash to neutral to obtain the crude product.
After further ethanol recrystallization, the finished products are obtained.
In the preparation, the cation exchange resin can be used in place of the sulfuric acid catalyst.
It can be derived from the esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid and n-propanol in the presence of sulfuric acid.
Add p-hydroxybenzoic acid and n-propanol in turn to the esterification reactor, and heat to dissolve.
Add concentrated sulfuric acid slowly and heat for 8h of refluxion. Pour the reaction solution into 4% sodium carbonate solution before it is cooled.
Constantly stir for precipitation and crystallization.
Then the crude product can be obtained after centrifugal filtration and washed to neutral.
Finally the finished product is acquired after activated carbon decolorization and ethanol recrystallization.

Definition
ChEBI: The benzoate ester that is the propyl ester of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid.
Propylparaben is a Preservative typically found in many water-based cosmetics, such as creams, lotions, shampoos and bath products.
Propyl paraben is also used as a food additive.
Production Methods
Propylparaben is prepared by the esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with n-propanol.
Preparation
Produced by esterfying p-hydroxybenzoic acid with n-propanol, using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid and an excess of propanol.
The materials are heated in a glass-lined reactor under reflux.
The acid is then neutralized with caustic soda and the product is crystallized by cooling.
The crystallized product is centrifuged, washed, dried under vacuum, milled and blended, all in corrosion-resistant equipment to avoid metallic contamination.
Aroma threshold values
Detection: 20 ppb
General Description
Colorless crystals or white powder or chunky white solid.
Melting point 95-98°C. Odorless or faint aromatic odor.
Propylparaben has low toxicity and it is Tasteless (numbs the tongue).
pH: 6.5-7.0 (slightly acidic) in solution.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble [Hawley].
Reactivity Profile
Maximum stability of Propylparaben occurs at a pH of 4 to 5.
Incompatible with alkalis and iron salts.
Also incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids .
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for Propylparaben are not available; however, Propylparaben is probably combustible.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Propylparaben is widely used as an antimicrobial preservative in cosmetics, food products, and pharmaceutical formulations.
It may be used alone, in combination with other paraben esters, or with other antimicrobial agents.
It is one of the most frequently used preservatives in cosmetics.
The parabens are effective over a wide pH range and have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, although they are most effective against yeasts and molds.
Owing to the poor solubility of the parabens, the paraben salts, particularly the sodium salt, are frequently used in formulations.
This may cause the pH of poorly buffered formulations to become more alkaline.
Propylparaben (0.02% w/v) together with methylparaben (0.18% w/v) has been used for the preservation of various parenteral pharmaceutical formulations.
Contact allergens
This substance is one of the parabens family. Parabens are esters formed by p-hydroxybenzoic acid and an alcohol.
They are largely used as biocides in cosmetics and toiletries, medicaments, or food. They have synergistic power with other biocides.
Parabens can induce allergic contact dermatitis, mainly in chronic dermatitis and wounded skin.
Safety
Propylparaben and other parabens are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in cosmetics, food products, and oral and topical pharmaceutical formulations.
Propylparaben and methylparaben have been used as preservatives in injections and ophthalmic preparations; however, they are now generally regarded as being unsuitable for these types of formulations owing to the irritant potential of the parabens.
Systemically, no adverse reactions to parabens have been reported, although they have been associated with hypersensitivity reactions.
The WHO has set an estimated acceptable total daily intake for methyl, ethyl, and propyl parabens at up to 10 mg/kg body-weight.
LD50 (mouse, IP): 0.2 g/kg
LD50 (mouse, oral): 6.33 g/kg
LD50 (mouse, SC): 1.65 g/kg
storage
Aqueous propylparaben solutions at pH 3–6 can be sterilized by autoclaving, without decomposition.
At pH 3–6, aqueous solutions are stable (less than 10% decomposition) for up to about 4 years at room temperature, while solutions at pH 8 or above are subject to rapid hydrolysis (10% or more after about 60 days at room temperature).
Incompatibilities
The antimicrobial activity of propylparaben is reduced considerably in the presence of nonionic surfactants as a result of micellization.
Absorption of propylparaben by plastics has been reported, with the amount absorbed dependent upon the type of plastic and the vehicle.
Magnesium aluminum silicate, magnesium trisilicate, yellow iron oxide, and ultramarine blue have also been reported to absorb propylparaben, thereby reducing preservative efficacy.
Propylparaben is discolored in the presence of iron and is subject to hydrolysis by weak alkalis and strong acids.
