Correspondencia Marcos Hervella Garcés Avenida Pío XII, 37-5 B 31008 Pamplona Tfno: 948 273434 E-mail: [email protected] El metildibromoglutaronitrilo es uno de los dos ingredientes activos del Euxyl® K400 y su principal fuente de sensibilización alérgica. También se conoce con el nombre de 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicianobutano y es una sustancia antimicrobiana de amplio espectro que se emplea en Europa desde los años 80 como conservante de productos de belleza y sustancias de uso industrial como pinturas de látex, fluidos de corte y adhesivos. Fue diseñado como sustituto de la mezcla metilcloroisotiazolinona/isotiazolinona (Kathon® CG o Euxyl® K100), otro conservante que había demostrado ser una causa frecuente de dermatitis de contacto alérgica. Actualmente su empleo en la fabricación de cosméticos está muy extendido, en parte debido a su eficacia como biocida, pero también debido a que se ha tardado mucho en descubrir su verdadera capacidad sensibilizante.
