Solubility of caprylhydroxamic acid in phenoxyethanol or glycerin

Posted by abdullah on January 19, 2022 at 2:48 am

This preservative Phenostat composition is

Phenoxyethanol 70%
Caprylhydroxamic acid 15%
methylpropanediol 8%
Water 7%

My question are

1. Is this methylpropanediol and water necessary to solubilize caprylhydroxamic acid in phenoxyethanol?

2. How much caprylhydroxamic acid can be solubilized in phenoxyethanol and be stored for later use?

Don’t know the answer to your question…but just gonna toss this out there. Someone in the know…. once whispered in my ear, that said acid is very incompatible with zinc.

Just a heads up when formulating with it.
