Description

Triclocarban (CAS 101-20-2 ), also known as TCC and 3,4,4'-trichlorocarbanilide, is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial active used primarily in personal care and hygiene product manufacturing. It delivers bacteriostatic and fungistatic activity against a wide range of gram-positive organisms, making it a recognized biocide ingredient for rinse-off and leave-on formulations. TCC is most commonly incorporated into bar soaps and solid cleansers at concentrations designed to meet antimicrobial efficacy standards for consumer and institutional hygiene products. In textile and fiber processing, it is applied as a durable antimicrobial finish to inhibit odor-causing bacterial growth on fabrics. This ensures long-lasting freshness in industrial materials. Pharmaceutical and medicated skincare formulators use TCC as an active ingredient in topical antibacterial preparations targeting skin hygiene. It is a staple in specialized medical cleansers. Flame retardant applications in specialty polymer systems represent an additional industrial use case where halogenated urea compounds are evaluated for performance and stability. Triclocarban is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. Standard commercial grades include technical and cosmetic specifications, with purity levels typically at 98% or higher. Bulk quantities are available for industrial formulation, with smaller packaging options serving pharmaceutical and specialty compounding buyers requiring high-purity chemical inputs.
