Cetylpyridinium Chloride (CPC) is the active ingredient
in Scope mouthwash that has been shown to act as an antimicrobial.
Antimicrobials fight against oral bacteria and are responsible for killing
the germs that cause bad breath. It is also very effective in preventing
dental plaque. Cetylpyridinium Chloride is a cationic quaternary
ammonium compound. It is found as a white powder and has a melting
point of 80-83 degrees Celsius. Cetylpyridinium Chloride is insoluble
in acetone, acetic acid, and ethanol, but is soluble under any other circumstances.
