Vinkocide CMI 14

Vinkocide™ CMI 14 is a formulation of 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (CMIT) with 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT). It is a biocide used as a preservative for technical applications such as paints, adhesives, household and industrial cleaners. Vinkocide™ CMI 14 is an aqueous, magnesium-stabilized solution of 14% CIT/MIT, which meets the highest purity requirements. Impurities are often the cause of undesirable side effects in terms of toxicological or technical properties. Impurities can also affect efficacy. These are reduced to a minimum in Vinkocide™ CMI 14. Vinkocide™ CMI 14 penetrates the cells of microorganisms, reacts with essential parts of the cell and inactivates important substrates and enzymes necessary for normal cell function. These relatively non-specific reactions prevent the development of microbial adaptation. Vinkocide™ CMI 14 is available with a variety of stabilizers. The choice of stabilizing salts may affect efficacy. Typically, copper salts result in slightly higher efficacy. The matrix of the formulation to be preserved is also important in selecting the correct biocidal product. - ideal for use in aqueous and water-miscible systems - broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria, fungi and yeasts - often effective where other preservatives fail - free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers and phenols - good chemical stability - non-volatile - excellent long-term efficacy - belongs to the best rated biocides with a broad spectrum of activity
