Introduction
Product Name: | Chlorhexidine/Hibiclens/Peridex/Clorhexidina |
Product Number: | / |
| CAS No. : | 55-56-1 |
Molecular Formula: | C₂₂H₃₀Cl₂N₁₀ |
Molecular Weight: | 505.48 |
| Appearance: | Generally white or off-white crystalline powder |
| MDL | MFCD00009673 |
Fusing Point | 134 - 136 °C |
| Boiling Point | 641.45°C (rough estimate) |
Storage Condition | 2-8°C; Powder state should be sealed, dry and kept away from light at normal storage temperature; solutions and aqueous products should be packaged in glass and high-density polyethylene or polypropylene bottles in a cool, dry place, avoiding contact with cork or cork pads. |
| Chemical Stability | At normal storage temperatures, chlorhexidine and its salts are stable in the powdered state; however, in aqueous solutions, the salts of chlorhexidine can be hydrolyzed to form 4-chloroaniline and the rate of hydrolysis increases markedly above 100°C and increases with increasing or decreasing pH (below pH 5.6). |
