Foconsci’s Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a water-based preservative used to control bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms in industrial formulations.

We supply MIT aqueous solution 50% (MIT-50). This grade suits water-based coatings, polymer emulsions, adhesives, process fluids and other products that need microbial protection during storage and use.

Applications of Methylisothiazolinone

Water-Based Paints and Coatings: MIT helps control bacterial and fungal growth in water-based paints, coatings and similar formulations during storage.

Polymer Emulsions and Adhesives: MIT protects synthetic polymer emulsions, latex systems and water-based adhesives from microbial contamination.

Industrial Water and Process Fluids: MIT can be used in industrial water systems and process fluids where microbial growth can cause slime, odor or product deterioration.

Detergents and Household Formulations: MIT can also preserve water-based detergent and cleaning formulations.

Packaging and Storage

Our Methylisothiazolinone is packed in 25 kg or 200 kg plastic drum.

Keep MIT-50 in its original sealed container and protect it from direct sunlight and excessive heat.

Avoid contamination with reducing agents, strong alkalis and other materials that may reduce preservative stability.
