Suttocide A is derived from the naturally-occurring amino acid Glycine. A single preservative, Suttocide A is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial active against Gram-negative, Gram-Positive bacteria, yeast and molds. It has good anti-bacterial and anti-mold properties, but its weakest against yeast. Its antifungal and anti-mold activity is increased with a higher usage rate. So you'll have better activity at 0.5% than 0.1% in your formulation. It is synergistic with other preservatives, so it can be used with other preservatives, including those active against yeast and mold. Suttocide A is sold as 50% aqueous solution with a pH of 10-12. Unlike many preservatives, Suttocide A is stable and active in alkaline conditions up to pH 12. It can also be used in acidic formulations as low as pH 3.5. Due to its alkalinity, it can be used to neutralize acidic compounds (carbomers and other ingredients requiring neutralization) without any loss of antimicrobial activity.
