    Product Description

    3-Iodo-2-propynyl Butylcarbamate (IPBC) is a carbamate fungicide and an algicide.1,2 It inhibits the growth of A. niger when applied to linear low-density polyethylene at concentrations ranging from 1,000 to 50,000 ppm.1 IPBC is active against dairy cow isolates of P. zopfii, P. blaschkeae, and Prototheca parasitic algae (MIC50s = 4, 1, and 4 mg/L, respectively).2 Formulations containing IPBC have been used as antifungal agents in cosmetic and industrial applications.
