Chemical identity and properties
CAS 3380-34-5PubChem CID 5564
Triclosan
Triclosan is an aromatic ether that is phenol which is substituted at C-5 by a chloro group and at C-2 by a 2,4-dichlorophenoxy group. It is widely used as a preservative and antimicrobial agent in personal care products such as soaps, skin creams, toothpaste and deodorants as well as in household items such as plastic chopping boards, sports equipment and shoes. It has a role as an EC 1.3.1.9 [enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase (NADH)] inhibitor, a fungicide, an antibacterial agent, a xenobiotic, an antimalarial, an EC 1.5.1.3 (dihydrofolate reductase) inhibitor, a persistent organic pollutant and a drug allergen. It is a dichlorobenzene, a member of phenols, an aromatic ether and a member of monochlorobenzenes. — ChEBI

Research this identityContinue the compliance check
1. Confirm identity
Match the supplier specification, CAS/EC identifiers and composition to this official label name. Similar wording is not proof of chemical equivalence.
2. Review restrictions
Check every exact Annex record shown above, plus CMR, nanomaterial, SCCS and later-amendment requirements that may apply.
3. Verify the formula
Evaluate concentration, product type, purity, warnings, claims and each target market before making a compliance decision.
