Industrial Uses

1. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Preservative in Water-Based Formulations: CMIT/MIT is widely used to prevent microbial spoilage in water-based paints, adhesives, and coatings, extending shelf life and product stability.
  • In-Can Preservation: It inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi in stored formulations, maintaining product integrity during storage and transportation.

2. Personal Care

  • Preservative in Rinse-Off Products: CMIT/MIT is employed in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth.
  • Regulated Use in Cosmetics: Only allowed in rinse-off products in very low concentrations due to sensitization concerns.

3. Cleaning & Disinfectants

  • Biocidal Agent: CMIT/MIT is a powerful antimicrobial used in surface cleaners and disinfectants to ensure microbial control on various surfaces.
  • Industrial Cleaning Solutions: Applied in formulations for cleaning industrial equipment, tanks, and pipelines.

4. Energy

  • Cooling Tower Biocide: Used in oil & gas and power plants for microbial control in cooling water systems, helping to prevent biofilm formation and equipment corrosion.
  • Oilfield Applications: Controls sulfate-reducing bacteria and biofouling in drilling fluids and injection waters.

5. Lubricants & Automobiles

  • Preservation of Metalworking Fluids: Prevents microbial spoilage and foul odor in metalworking fluids and other water-based lubricant systems.
  • System Cleaner Additive: Maintains cleanliness in automotive coolant and lubricant systems.
