What is Oamiguard BIT85 Preservative?
Oamiguard BIT85 Preservative is a broad-spectrum bactericide used to preserve industrial water-based products as well as materials such as rubber and plastics, protecting against deterioration caused by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. It is a powder of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one.
Applications
- Rubber
- Latex paint
- Plastics
- Pigments and dyes
- Paper coating compositions
- Metalworking fluids, water-based mineral slurries, etc.
Advantages
- Broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, effective protection against bacteria, yeasts and fungi
- Non-specific mode of action, extremely unlikely to cause bacterial resistance
- Effective over pH 4-12, highly adaptable
