Biocide (CMIT/MIT)
Broad-spectrum isothiazolinone preservative used to control bacteria, fungi, and yeast in water-based industrial systems and formulations—helping extend shelf life, reduce spoilage risk, and improve in-use hygiene.

Documentation: SDS / COA / TDS on request
Repeat procurement lanes available
Why CMIT/MIT is used in industry
CMIT/MIT is commonly selected for preservation of aqueous products and for antimicrobial control in compatible industrial systems where microbial growth can cause odor, viscosity drift, gas formation, slime, filter plugging, or product spoilage.
- Broad spectrum against bacteria, fungi, and yeast
- Effective at low use levels (grade and application dependent)
- Supports shelf-life and in-use hygiene for water-based products
Use is application- and regulation-dependent. Confirm allowability for your end-use and destination market.

Typical buying scenarios
CMIT/MIT is commonly purchased for preservation of water-based formulations (batch manufacturing) and for antimicrobial control in compatible industrial circuits. Share your use-case so we can quote the right grade and packaging.
- Production: recurring monthly consumption for formulated products
- Operations: site programs where contamination risk is seasonal or variable
- Multi-site: consolidated procurement with consistent documentation requirements
Availability and lead time depend on grade, packaging, and destination lane. We quote against your exact requirements.
Applications
CMIT/MIT is used as a preservative and antimicrobial to help prevent contamination-related failures in water-based industrial products and systems. Application suitability depends on formulation chemistry, exposure conditions, and regulatory constraints.
- Water-based formulations: detergents, cleaners, and specialty chemical blends (in-can preservation)
- Polymer dispersions / emulsions and select latex-based systems (formulation dependent)
- Metalworking fluids (MWF) and industrial process fluids (when compatible)
- Paper & pulp / additives and wet-end circuits (program dependent)
- Industrial water systems: microbial control where isothiazolinones are specified (compatibility required)
What CMIT/MIT helps you reduce
Common contamination symptoms vary by system and product type, but often include odor, viscosity drift, gassing, discoloration, slime formation, and filter plugging.
- Spoilage and shortened shelf life in water-based products
- Microbial-driven odor and in-process instability
- Slime / biofilm that interferes with circulation and cleanliness
Technical overview
CMIT/MIT is a blend of isothiazolinones used for broad-spectrum preservation in aqueous environments. It is typically supplied as an aqueous concentrate. Performance depends on dose, contact time, contamination pressure, formulation compatibility, and storage conditions.
Mode of use
Commonly used for in-can (product) preservation and in-process microbial control. Dosing can be one-time (batch) or maintenance (program-based), depending on the use case.
Compatibility matters
Preservative performance and stability can vary with pH, temperature, and formulation components. Provide your formulation/system details for proper grade selection.
Quality verification
COA confirms the active content and key parameters per shipment. For critical applications, customers often pair incoming QC with small-scale challenge testing.
Typical dosing guidance (starting points)
The correct dose is application-specific and may be regulated. The ranges below are indicative “starting points” only—final dosing should be confirmed by your technical team, trials, and local requirements.
| Use case | Application style | Typical range* | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water-based product preservation | In-can / batch addition | ~0.02–0.20% (w/w) | Depends on contamination pressure & formula compatibility |
| Industrial process fluids | Maintenance / program | ~50–300 ppm | Monitor counts & adjust frequency as needed |
| Corrective contamination event | Shock / corrective | ~200–800 ppm | Use only where allowed and compatible; confirm with EHS |
*Illustrative starting ranges only. CMIT/MIT use levels and allowability vary by product category, country, and end-use. Always validate via trials, QA/QC, and compliance requirements.
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation and COA. (Your current template’s surfactant/HBL text has been corrected for CMIT/MIT.)
Type

Storage & handling (summary)
Follow the SDS for your specific grade. In general, store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area and keep containers tightly closed. Use appropriate PPE and controlled dosing/addition procedures to minimize exposure.
- Keep away from heat and direct sunlight
- Avoid contamination of the container and dosing equipment
- Follow site EHS procedures and label/segregate properly
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. The offer and COA are the controlling documents.
FAQ
Quick answers to common procurement and technical questions.
Is CMIT/MIT the same as MIT?
CMIT/MIT refers to a blend containing CMIT and MIT. MIT alone is a different single-active product. Specify which you need so we can quote the correct grade.
What is CMIT/MIT typically used for?
Commonly used as a preservative for water-based formulations and as an antimicrobial in compatible industrial fluids/systems where microbial growth causes spoilage or operational issues.
Can you provide SDS and COA?
Yes. SDS and COA are available on request and can be provided per shipment/grade. TDS and additional documents may be available depending on lane.
How do I choose the right grade?
Tell us your end-use, typical pH/temperature, and target dose format (ppm or %). We’ll align a suitable active content and packaging.
What packaging is typical?
Drums and IBCs are common; bulk options may be available depending on lane. Packaging selection should match your receiving and dosing setup.
Any compliance considerations?
Isothiazolinones are regulated in many markets and uses. Confirm allowability for your product category and destination; we can support by providing available documentation.
