BIOTREND® BIT20-D
- Chemical Name
- 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one, 12-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one
- Chemical Family
- Benzisothiazoles
BIOTREND® BIT20-D is a 20% aqueous dispersion of benzisothiazolin (BIT), utilized to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, including yeasts and molds. It serves as a highly effective biocide across various applications, such as preservation of latex paints, aqueous industrial preservation, polymer lattices, adhesives, joint compounds, and dispersed pigments like clays, titanium dioxide, and calcium carbonate. BIOTREND® GA50 is Zero VOC, devoid of formaldehyde, and does not generate MIT.
