Methylchloroisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone

Methylchloroisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT) is a highly efficient and broad-spectrum biocide and preservative, widely used in both industrial and personal care applications. Typically appearing as a pale yellow liquid, it is readily soluble in water and hydrophilic solvents, with a density of approximately 1.293 g/mL for a 14% solution. Boasting strong antimicrobial properties, it effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae, making it suitable for preventing microbial proliferation in industrial systems and personal care products. However, due to its potential sensitizing nature, its use in personal care products is strictly regulated, particularly in leave-on cosmetics.

CIT/MIT

5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT), 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) mixture

Yellow or yellow-green transparent solution

Widely used in water treatment, such as petrochemical, metallurgy, power, central air conditioning, industrial circulating cooling water for sterilization, algae killing, effectively inhibiting the reproduction and growth of microorganisms. It can also be used in coatings, water-based polymers, metal cutting fluids, adhesives, inks, dyes, paraffin liquids, etc.

MIT

2-Methyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-one

Yellow transparent liquid

Suitable for daily chemical, cosmetics, paints, polymer synthetic emulsions, and other aqueous systems.

BIT

1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one

Yellowish-white or grayish-white powder

Widely used in latex products, water-soluble resins, paints, acrylic polymers, polyurethane products, inks, leather, lubricants, and other high PH value products.

OIT

2-Octyl-4-Isothiazolin-3-one

Yellow transparent viscous liquid or crystalline

Mold prevention in industrial oils, plastics, building materials, leather, paint coatings, textile printing and dyeing, etc. It can also be widely used in many products such as interior and exterior wall latex paint, wood products, and cultural relics protection.

DCOIT

4,5-Dichloro-2-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

Yellow or yellow-white powder

Industrial oils, plastics, wood preservation, leather, paint coatings, textiles, printing and dyeing mold inhibitors, marine antifouling, etc.

CMIT/MIT are synergistic antimicrobial agents used as preservatives in a wide range of products. Their primary function is to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast, thereby preventing spoilage, maintaining product integrity, and ensuring user safety. The most common commercial form is a 3:1 ratio of CMIT (5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one) to MIT (2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one).

CMIT/MIT is widely used as a broad-spectrum preservative in:

  1. Cosmetics and personal care products (e.g., shampoos, lotions).
  2. Household and industrial liquids (e.g., detergents, cleaning agents).
  3. Water treatment systems.
  4. Paints and coatings.
  5. Metalworking fluids.
