About

An oxidative hair dye intermediate used in permanent hair coloration. Classified with EU hazard statements for skin, eye, and respiratory irritation, requiring careful formulation handling.

This triaminopyrimidine sulfate is an oxidative hair dye precursor used in permanent hair dye formulations, where it reacts with couplers and oxidizing agents to form colored compounds. The EU GHS classification includes H315 (skin irritation), H319 (serious eye irritation), and H335 (respiratory irritation). While approved for use in hair dye formulations under EU cosmetic regulation with specific concentration limits, it requires careful handling during manufacturing and formulation. The presence of the sulfate group may increase water solubility and potential for skin exposure.
