About CMIT/MIT 1.5%

CMIT/MIT 1.5% is used to prevent viscosity loss, odour, gassing and slime in stored water-based products and process piping.

It is fully water-miscible, needs no solvent pre-dissolution, and is added at ambient or post-cooling stages below 50 °C.

Key benefits

  • Fast control of bacteria, yeasts and moulds
  • Disperses easily in resins, emulsions and slurries
  • Liquid form for metered dosing and batch blending
  • Prevents viscosity loss, odour and gassing

Also known as: CMIT MIT 1.5, isothiazolinone preservative, in-can preservative
