Why MBIT is the Biocide of Choice for Preserving Paints and Adhesives
The performance and shelf-life of water-based products like paints, adhesives, and coatings are directly threatened by microbial contamination. Bacteria, yeasts, and molds can degrade formulations, leading to unpleasant odors, discoloration, viscosity changes, and loss of adhesion or film-forming properties. To combat this, formulators rely on effective preservatives, and 2-Methyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (MBIT) stands out as a highly effective solution.
MBIT, with CAS number 2527-66-4, is a sophisticated biocide that offers robust protection. Its molecular structure allows it to disrupt essential microbial processes, making it a powerful tool for in-can preservation. This means that products remain protected from the point of manufacture through to their eventual application by the end-user. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier of MBIT based in China, we understand the demanding requirements of the coatings and adhesives industries.
Our high-purity MBIT is specifically formulated to integrate seamlessly into these complex systems. Its efficacy against a broad range of spoilage organisms ensures that paints maintain their intended consistency and appearance, while adhesives retain their bonding strength. By choosing to buy MBIT from us, you are securing a product that contributes directly to the quality and marketability of your finished goods. We provide competitive pricing for MBIT, making it an economically viable choice for large-scale production needs.
The specifications for our MBIT are rigorous, with an assay of 96.0% minimum, ensuring consistent performance. The product typically presents as a white crystal, and its packaging in 25kg fiber drums facilitates safe storage and handling in industrial environments. Proper storage conditions, such as a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, are recommended to maintain its efficacy for up to two years.
For companies in the paints, plasters, adhesives, and latex emulsions sectors, sourcing a reliable preservative is non-negotiable. We pride ourselves on being a dependable supplier, committed to meeting the needs of our B2B clients. Whether you are a large-scale manufacturer or a specialized formulator, our capabilities as a dedicated MBIT manufacturer ensure that you can procure this essential ingredient with confidence. Invest in the longevity and quality of your products by partnering with us for your MBIT supply. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and to receive a quotation for this critical biocide.
