Products Description of 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one CAS#2682-20-49
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a new-generation fungicide introduced to China from Europe. As an isothiazolinone-based organic compound, it can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and yeast, making it a widely used broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.
Compared with other types of fungicides, isothiazolinone fungicides demonstrate outstanding advantages, including significant antimicrobial effects, rapid action in controlling microbial growth and metabolism, and effective prevention of biofilm formation.
