What is Methylisothiazolinone CAS 2682-20-4

Methylisothiazolinone is a 1,2-thazole that is 4-isothiazolin-3-one bearing a methyl group on the nitrogen atom. Also, it is a powerful biocide and preservative and is the minor active ingredient in the commercial product Kathon (TM). Equally Important, It has a role as an antifouling biocide, an antimicrobial agent and an antifungal agent

Methylisothiazolinone CAS No 2682-20-4 More Details：

Methylisothiazolinone is a biocide that functions as a preservative in various industrial and commercial products. Hence, it acts by disrupting the function of enzymes within microorganisms, leading to the inhibition of their growth and reproduction. Methylisothiazolinone exerts its mode of action by binding to specific proteins and interfering with their normal activity, ultimately causing cell death in susceptible organisms.

Thus, Methylisothiazolinone is effective at very low concentrations, making it a potent antimicrobial agent in a wide range of applications. Its mechanism of action involves the disruption of cellular processes, leading to the elimination of microbial contaminants and the preservation of products. Methylisothiazolinone′s function as a preservative is attributed to its ability to target and disrupt the biological functions of microorganisms, thereby extending the shelf life and stability of various formulations.

Specification of Methylisothiazolinone:

Methylisothiazolinone Usage：

Methylisothiazolinone, with a broad-spectrum antibacterial ability, can be used as bactericide and antiseptic agent for water treatment in paper industry and paint coating industry and daily chemicals.

Also, Methylisothiazolinone and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are used for controlling microbial growth in water-containing solutions. Two of the most widely used isothiazolinone biocides are 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (chloromethylisothiazolinone or CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (methylisothiazolinone or MIT), which are the active ingredients in a 3:1 mixture (CMIT:MIT) sold commercially as Kathon.

In addition, Kathon is supplied to manufacturers as a concentrated stock solution containing from 10-15% of CMIT/MIT. For applications the recommended use level is from 6 ppm to 75 ppm active isothiazolones. Biocidal applications range from industrial water storage tanks to cooling units, in processes as varied as mining, paper manufacturing, metalworking fluids and energy production. Kathon also has been used to control slime in the manufacture of paper products that contact food. In addition, this product serves as an antimicrobial agent in latex adhesives and in paper coatings that also contact food.
