Isothiazolinone, CMIT/MIT
CAS no.:26172-55-4
Properties:
Isothiazolinones is a liquid biocide which is composed of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone (CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone (MIT). The bactericidal effect of Isothiazolinones is carried out through breaking the bond between bacteria and algae protein. When contacted with microbes, Isothiazolinones can quickly inhibit their growth, thus leading to death of these microbes.
It has been used as a preservative in a variety of industrial applications, which include water treatment, paper and pulping, cooling tower, waster water, wash water, water based coatings such as paints, slurries, dispersed pigments, adhesives, latex emulsion.
The active ingredient provides broad-spectrum activity against common bacteria, algae, and fungi. CMIT/MIT 14 is approved by EPA for industrial applications. It is highly recommended for water containing systems with PH 2-9. It also can be used to formulate many different concentrations of CMIT/MIT.
