About CIT MIT 14%
CIT/MIT 14% combines two isothiazolinones – chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT) and methylisothiazolinone (MIT) – stabilised in water with salts.
It works by disrupting microbial cell membranes and thiol enzymes, giving fast action at low dosage in cooling water, paper mills and water-based industrial products.
Key benefits
- Broad spectrum: bacteria, fungi, algae, yeasts
- Fast action at low dosage
- Fully water-soluble, easy to dose
- Cost-effective slime control
Also known as: CMIT/MIT 14%, Kathon-type biocide, isothiazolinone biocide, CIT/MIT
