| Industry | Applications | Process |
|---|---|---|
| Cosmetics | Humectant, preservative, skin-conditioning agent | Dissolved in the aqueous phase or oil-in-water systems; commonly used in formulations for emulsions, creams, and serums to enhance antimicrobial efficacy in synergy with preservative systems |
| Pharmaceuticals | Solvent, stabilizer, drug carrier | Used as an excipient in drug formulations to improve solubility and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients; commonly applied in topical or oral liquid dosage forms |
| Personal Care | Solubilizer for cleansing products, skin-feel modifier | Added to cleansing products such as body washes and facial cleansers to improve sensory attributes and enhance synergistic effects with surfactants |
| Industrial | High-boiling-point solvent, antifreeze component | Applied in coatings, inks, and cleaners as a low-toxicity, high-boiling-point solvent to replace ethylene glycol–based materials, thereby improving product safety and environmental compatibility |
| Pesticides | Solubilizing aid, emulsion stabilizer | Used as a solubilizing aid in aqueous pesticide formulations to promote uniform dispersion of active ingredients, enhancing formulation stability and spray performance |
| Test Item | Common Test Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Visual Inspection | The sample is placed in a transparent glass container and visually inspected under natural or standard light for color and clarity, to determine if it is a clear liquid ranging from colorless to light yellow, and to check for any suspended particles or precipitates. |
| Content (Purity) | Gas Chromatography (GC) | A capillary column (e.g., DB-5, HP-INNOWax) and a hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) are used, with internal or external standard quantification. The 1,2-octanediol content is determined based on retention time for qualitative analysis and peak area for quantitative analysis; typically a purity ≥98% is required. |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Iodine reacts quantitatively with sulfur dioxide in a solvent (e.g., methanol/ethylene glycol) in the presence of water. Water content is determined by coulometric or volumetric titration, suitable for trace moisture detection (ppm level). |
| Acid Value | Acid-Base Titration | The sample is dissolved in ethanol or isopropanol and titrated with a standard sodium hydroxide solution, using phenolphthalein or potentiometric endpoint detection. The acid value is expressed as milligrams of KOH consumed per gram of sample (mg KOH/g), indicating free acid content. |
| Color | Platinum-Cobalt Colorimetry (APHA) | The sample is compared visually or instrumentally with a platinum-cobalt standard color scale to measure color intensity. It is commonly used to evaluate the degree of purification; typically a limit of ≤30 APHA units is required. |
| Density | Density Meter or Pycnometer Method | At a specified temperature (e.g., 20°C), the mass per unit volume is measured using a density meter or pycnometer to verify sample consistency. |
| Refractive Index | Refractometry | The refractive index (n20D) is measured using an Abbe refractometer at a standard temperature (e.g., 20°C), serving as a physical constant for identification and purity assessment. |
| Residual Solvents | Gas Chromatography (GC) | Headspace sampling coupled with gas chromatography (HS-GC) is used to detect residual organic solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol, acetone) from the manufacturing process. Limits are controlled according to ICH guidelines. |
| Heavy Metals | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | After sample digestion, the contents of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium are determined to ensure compliance with safety standards for pharmaceutical or cosmetic raw materials (e.g., ≤10 ppm). |
| Microbial Limits | Microbial Limit Testing | Testing for total aerobic microbial count, total mold and yeast count, and specified microorganisms (e.g., Escherichia coli) is performed according to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia or ISO standards, applicable for cosmetic or pharmaceutical excipient use. |
