In modern industrial environments, microbial contamination is an ever-present threat that silently erodes product quality and equipment integrity. Whether in water-based paints, metalworking fluids, or household detergents, bacteria, fungi, and yeast multiply rapidly, causing spoilage, corrosion, and costly downtime. Among available preservatives, Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) has earned its reputation as a high-performance, broad-spectrum biocide trusted by industries worldwide.
BIT biocide delivers fast, comprehensive protection against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (such as Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus), mold, and yeast. Its unique mechanism disrupts essential microbial enzymes, stopping contamination at the cellular level. This allows manufacturers to maintain stable formulations and long shelf life.
Unlike traditional preservatives (e.g., MIT, CMIT), BIT remains effective across a wide pH range (2–12) and withstands temperatures up to 80°C (176°F). Even during long-term storage, BIT resists hydrolysis and oxidation, ensuring consistent performance.
BIT requires only 50–200 ppm for optimal results, delivering significant cost savings while reducing environmental impact. Its low toxicity and non-sensitizing properties make it suitable for sensitive applications.
BIT contains no formaldehyde donors or heavy metals. It complies with EU BPR, REACH, US EPA, and GB/T standards and is readily biodegradable according to OECD 301F protocols. These attributes support your sustainability goals and regulatory obligations.
| Industry | Use Case | BIT’s Advantages |
|---|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Prevents microbial spoilage, odor, and viscosity loss | Maintains product stability and shelf life beyond 24 months |
| Metalworking Fluids | Controls biofilm growth in recirculating systems | Reduces corrosion and exposure to harmful endotoxins |
| Personal Care Products | Preserves shampoos, liquid soaps, and wet wipes | Eliminates mold without skin sensitization risks |
| Adhesives & Sealants | Inhibits contamination in emulsions | Preserves clarity and bonding strength |
| Pulp & Paper | Protects starch-rich slurries from bacterial slime | Prevents downtime and costly product recalls |
When choosing a BIT supplier, consider the following:
Purity & Consistency
Ensure ≥99.5% active content verified by HPLC for batch-to-batch reliability.
Regulatory Expertise
Your supplier should provide complete documentation to support compliance with BPR, REACH, US EPA, and regional certifications.
Technical Partnership
Access lab testing for MIC studies, compatibility assessments, and ISO 11930 challenge tests.
Supply Chain Resilience
Redundant manufacturing capabilities minimize the risk of supply disruptions.
Sustainable Logistics
Look for carbon-neutral shipping options and recyclable packaging.
BIT stands apart with its synergy of broad-spectrum efficacy, stability, and eco-friendly profile. For manufacturers seeking a proven preservation strategy, BIT is more than a chemical—it’s a competitive advantage.
