Preallnat 96

Preallnat 96 is a synergistic liquid blend engineered to provide robust microbial control without the use of synthetic “listed” preservatives. It utilizes Triethyl Citrate as a specialized carrier and deodorizing agent, paired with the antimicrobial power of Benzyl Alcohol and Benzoic Acid. The addition of Caprylyl Glycol provides the necessary “booster” effect by destabilizing microbial cell membranes.

Key Benefit: A versatile, globally compliant system that offers antimicrobial, antioxidant, and deodorizing properties in a single 100% natural package.

Performance & Synergistic Strategy

  • Broad-Spectrum Protection: The aromatic alcohol and organic acid combination provides a complete defense against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and mold.
  • Enhanced Solubility: Triethyl Citrate acts as a high-performance solvent that improves the dispersion of the organic acids, reducing the risk of crystallization in the formula.
  • Hurdle Technology: Caprylyl Glycol (C8) acts as a wetting agent that increases the permeability of microbial cell walls, allowing the Benzoic Acid to penetrate and neutralize the organism more efficiently.
  • pH Independence (Partial): While Benzoic Acid is pH-dependent, the inclusion of Benzyl Alcohol and Caprylyl Glycol ensures the system maintains baseline activity even if the pH drifts slightly.
