Isothiazolinone Fungicide (Kathon Biocide) CAS 26172-55-4

The Antibacterial mechanism of isothiazolinone

The antibacterial mechanism of CMIT/MIT is due to the NS bond in the molecule. Therefore, Isothiazolinone plays a bactericidal effect by breaking the bond between bacteria and algae proteins.

After contacting with microorganisms, it can quickly inhibit its growth. This inhibition process is irreversible, resulting in the death of microbial cells. Before cell death, the microorganisms treated with Kathon can no longer synthesize enzymes and secrete adhesive biofilm substances. By penetrating the biofilm adhered to the surface of the cold water system equipment, the microorganisms under the biofilm can be destroyed, effective control.

The suitable temperature for Isothiazolinone Biocide

The stability of Kathon preservative is good. It is better to store in a sealed warehouse or other places away from direct sunlight. The temperature is preferably between 0-25 degrees at room temperature. It is the most ideal storage condition.

Kathon Biocide is not limited by temperature during use, and of course it is not so absolute. The temperature requirements of kathon during use is better below 60 degrees. The higher temperature will cause Isothiazolinone out of valid faster.

How is the stability of kathon?

The stability of Kathon preservatives is also closely related to the temperature. If the storage temperature is too high, the activity of the preservative will decrease, and the use effect will also decrease. The storage time at a temperature of about 50 degrees is about half a year, and the storage time at room temperature is one year. The effect of the temperature on the preservative of kathon is still great.

The kathon preservative is a relatively mature product. We guarantee our goods quality. Free pre-shipment sample could be supplied for testing. Any interest, Pls contact us freely. Thank you so much and appreciate your contact.
