Description :
1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder or liquid, widely used as a broad-spectrum industrial biocide and preservative. It belongs to the antimicrobial family that includes isothiazolinone and is well-known for its potent bactericidal, antifungal, and algicidal characteristics. It is able to disrupt the membranes on microbial cells as well as enzymes, thus preventing the expansion of fungi, bacteria, and algae, prolonging the shelf-life of many products. BIT is compatible with the majority of ingredients in formulations and can be employed either by itself or as a part of a combination with other preservatives to enhance efficiency. Complementary industrial chemicals like Pentanoic Acid and Ethyl Oleate are often used alongside BIT in water-based formulations. It is available in both liquid and solid forms — contact us to get the best price for your order.
BIT is extensively used as a preservative in water-based paints, emulsions, coatings, and printing inks to prevent microbial degradation during storage and application, ensuring long-term stability and quality.
It is a common additive in adhesives, sealants, and binders to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, thus extending shelf life and maintaining product integrity.
BIT is incorporated into household and industrial cleaning products, detergents, and surface sanitizers to prevent microbial contamination and improve product durability.
It is used in leather tanning, paper coatings, and textile finishing as a preservative to prevent microbial spoilage during storage and use.
BIT is added to industrial water systems, cooling towers, and process water to control algae, bacteria, and biofilm formation.
