Chlorhexidine API
| Cas No : | 55-56-1 |
|---|---|
| Name : | Chlorhexidine |
| Synonyms : | N,N′′′′1,6-Hexanediylbis[N′-(4-chlorophenyl)(imidodicarbonimidic diamide)] |
| Molecular Formula : | C22H30Cl2N10 |
| Melting Point : | 134 to 136 °C (273 to 277 °F) |
| Boiling Point : | 641.4 °C |
| Molecular Weight : | 505.45 g/mol |
| Density : | 1.06 g/mL |
| Solubility : | The solubility was shown to be highly dependent on the salt present in solution. Gluconate enhances the amount of CHX diacetate in solution possibly through mixed micelles formation, because the solubility product is such that the concentration of CHX will exceed the critical micelle concentration. |
Uses :
- Chlorhexidine is an antiseptic and disinfectant. It helps reduce the number of germs (bacteria) in your mouth or on your skin. It can help with: mouth infections, mouth ulcers and gum disease.
