The versatility of two brominated salieylanilides as antiseptic agents and germicides in soap and detergent products for use on skin, hair, hard surfaces and in fabrics is discussed.Both preparations show stability at elevated temp and pressure and compatibility with many surfactant vehicles. They are free of primary irritation and sensitization, including sunlightinduced irritation.A mixture of di-and tribromosalicylanilide is currently being used in toilet bars, shampoos, laundry products, disinfectant sprays and multipurpose disinfectant products. The substantivity to fabrics is further characterized by stability to heat and hydrolysis by alkalinity.Essentially pure 3,4',5 tribromosalieylanilide is resistant to discoloration, making it particularly suitable for use in white and pastel colored toilet bars. It has excellent substantivity to skin and provides long-lasting action against odor-causing and pathogenic bacteria.
