INCI: "5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one/ 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one"
CAS: 55965-84-9
Maxome CMIT/MIT, a potent and synergistic blend of two isothiazolinone biocides. It is best known for its exceptional broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and yeast at very low concentrations, making it a highly effective and cost-efficient preservative in water-based formulations. Beyond this, it serves critical functions as a slimicide in industrial water treatment systems, a in-can preservative in paints, polymer emulsions, and metalworking fluids, and is historically used in rinse-off personal care products.
