1. Description:

Isothiazolinones is a liquid biocide which is composed of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone and 2-methyl-4-thiazoline-3-ketone. The bactericidal effect of Isothiazolinones is carried out through breaking the bond between bacteria and algae protein. When contacted with microbes, Isothiazolinones can quickly inhibit their growth, thus leading to death of these microbes.
