Iodopropynyl Butyl Carbamate (IPBC) is a water-soluble preservative that is used globally in paints & amp; coatings, wood preservatives, personal care, and cosmetic industries. IPBC is a member of the family of biocidal carbamates. IPBC was discovered in 1970 and has a long history of effective use as an antifungal technology.

Histori
IPBC was originally developed for use in paint & amp; coating industry as a dry film preservative to protect the interior and exterior layers of mold, mildew, and mold growth, while also offering cost performance and sustainability benefits. IPBC shows efficacy against a broad spectrum of fungal species, usually at very low levels of use. IPBC is currently incorporated into a wide variety of interior and exterior paint formulations worldwide.
Use is limited in some countries due to its toxicity, particularly acute inhalation toxicity. IPBC is also known as contact allergens.

Usage
IPBC is an effective fungicide at very low concentrations in cosmetics and other products, and has shown very low sensitivity in humans tested with these preservatives. IPBC was approved in 1996 for use up to 0.1% concentration in topical products and cosmetics. However, these preservatives are mostly found in cosmetics about one-eighth of that rate [Maier et al., 2009]. The IPBC Toxicity and Safety Test demonstrates its general safety: When properly used in an abandoned leather product, IPBC is extremely safe [Steinberg, 2002]. Before being approved for cosmetic use in 1996, extensive safety and toxicity tests were performed on IPBC and the results were collected together with previous studies in the IPBC Safety Assessment report by Cosmetic Material Review [CIR Final Report, Lanigan 1998]. This final report found IPBC to be non-carcinogenic without genotoxicity and in studies of reproductive and developmental toxicities using mice and rats, IPBC has no significant effect on fertility, reproductive performance, or on the incidence of fetal malformations [Lanigan, 1998].
