      introduce

      Chlorhexidine is a high-efficiency cationic surfactant with strong broad-spectrum bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties. It exhibits superior antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria compared to traditional quaternary ammonium salts. With stable chemical performance, long-acting efficacy and good environmental adaptability, it is widely used in medical disinfection, oral care, skin care and pharmaceutical preservation.

      Our products comply with strict quality standards to ensure reliable performance and consistent supply for diverse application scenarios.

      Physical and chemical properties

      As a high-performance antimicrobial and disinfectant, chlorhexidine possesses key physical and chemical characteristics as follows:

      - Melting Point: 134-136 °C
      - Boiling Point: 591.7±60.0 °C at 760 mmHg
      - Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol and other organic solvents
      - Stability: Stable under normal storage conditions, incompatible with strong oxidizing agents
      - Charge Property: Cationic, easy to adsorb on anionic surfaces (e.g., bacterial cell membranes, oral mucosa)

      advantage

      1. Strong Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity: Exhibits potent inhibitory and bactericidal effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with higher efficacy than benzalkonium bromide.

      2. Long-Acting Persistent Efficacy: Adsorbs firmly on target surfaces, diffuses slowly and releases continuously, maintaining effective activity for up to 24 hours.

      3. Excellent Environmental Adaptability: Remains effective even in the presence of serum, blood and other organic substances, with strong anti-interference ability.

      4. Versatile Salt-Forming Capacity: Can form chlorhexidine hydrochloride, chlorhexidine acetate and chlorhexidine gluconate, adapting to different formulation requirements for clinical and industrial use.

      application

      1. Medical Disinfection: Used for preoperative hand washing, skin disinfection in surgical areas, wound irrigation, medical device disinfection and environmental disinfection in wards or operating rooms.

      2. Oral Care: Applied in the prevention and treatment of gingivitis, oral infections after dental surgery, oral infections in cancer and leukemia patients, and reduction of dental plaque; also used for oral inflammation caused by denture wear.

      3. Skin Care: Formulated into creams, ointments or powders for treating infant eczema, small-area burns, scalds, impetigo and heat rash; coatings for mild burns and scalds.

      4. Pharmaceutical Preservation: Serves as a preservative for eye drops and other pharmaceutical preparations, ensuring product stability.
