2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-oneCAS#2682-20-4
Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial: Effectively inhibits a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.
Rapid Action: Known for its fast and potent effects in disrupting microbial metabolism and controlling proliferation.
Biofilm Prevention: Prevents the formation of biofilms, enhancing its effectiveness in preservation and disinfection applications.
High Water Solubility: Highly soluble in water (489g/L at 20℃), making it efficient for various industrial uses.
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a relatively new fungicide introduced into China from Europe. It belongs to the isothiazolinone class of organic compounds, which are known for their ability to effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. As broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, isothiazolinones are widely applied in various industries.
Compared to other fungicides, this class is particularly valued for its rapid and potent effects in disrupting microbial metabolism, controlling their proliferation, and preventing the formation of biofilms. These advantages make MIT a popular choice in many preservation and disinfection applications.
