WANCIDE CMT1.5

-broad spectrum preservatives-

WANCIDE CMT 1.5 is a formulation of 5-Chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (CIT) with 2-Methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT). CMT 1.5 is a biocide to be used as a preservative for technical applications like paints, adhesives, household and industrial cleaning products.

Product Benefits:

ideal for use in aqueous and water miscible systems

broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria, fungi and yeasts

often effective where other preservatives fail

free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenolics or heavy metals

good chemical stability

non-volatile

excellent long-term efficacy

belongs to the best evaluated broad spectrum biocides

Applications and Use Levels:

WANCIDE CMT 1.5 prevents microbial deterioration of products and the resulting effects such as:

- phase separation

- odor build up

- gas build up

- changes in viscosity

- build up of health threatening toxins

Applications:

Under certain physico-chemical conditions the stability of CIT/MIT can be limited. Therefore we recommend testing the compatibility in individual formulations. For special formulations it can be desirable to combine WANCIDE CMT 1.5 with further biocides. Depending on the individual demands WANCIDE CMT 1.5 can be combined with most commonly used biocides.

Under normal use patterns concentrations (w/w) of 0.01-0.025% are sufficient in most applications. It can be used in a pH range of 3-8.5. Temperatures > 40 – 50 °C should be avoided.

Product selection:

WANCIDE CMT 1.5 is available with different stabilizers. The selection of stabilizing salts can influence the efficacy. Usually copper salts result in a slightly higher efficiency. Also the matrix of the formulation to be preserved is important for the selection of the right biocidal product.

WANCIDE CMT 1.5 is an aqueous, magnesium stabilized solution of 1.5 % CIT/MIT.

WANCIDE CMT 1.5 M is an aqueous, monovalent stabilized solution of 1.5 % CIT/MIT.
