3-Iodo-2-propynyl N-butylcarbamate (Cat No.: R013466) is an organoiodine compound widely used as a preservative and fungicide in personal care products, paints, and wood treatments. It features a propynyl group with an iodine atom at the 3-position and a butylcarbamate moiety, giving it broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. IPBC inhibits fungal cell growth by disrupting enzyme systems and cellular membranes. Due to its effectiveness at low concentrations, it is valued for preventing mold and microbial degradation in formulations while maintaining a low environmental and human toxicity profile.
