CMIT/MIT

5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

CMIT/MIT biocide is high performance, broad spectrum antimicrobial agents based on isothiazolone chemistry. CMIT/MIT is very effective at very low concentrations in controlling microorganisms causing microbial induced spoilage. No other preservatives controls a wider range of microorganisms over a wide range of pH at such low levels.
