DMDM hydantoin  (Synonyms: Dimethyloldimethyl hydantoin)

Cat. No.: HY-W040536
Handling Instructions Technical Support

DMDM hydantoin (Glydant) is an allergen and formaldehyde-releasing preservative. DMDM hydantoin releases formaldehyde under regulation by multiple factors and with enhanced release in alkaline environments. DMDM hydantoin induces allergic contact dermatitis via type-IV delayed hypersensitivity, either directly or through released formaldehyde. DMDM hydantoin is a broad-spectrum preservative that is effective against fungi, yeast, and gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. DMDM hydantoin can be used in cosmetics industry production research (e.g., shampoos, hairsprays, and skincare products) and can be used for research on allergic contact dermatitis.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
