Microbicide for plastic industry





Chemical Name: 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one(OIT)

CAS No: 26530-20-1
General
OIT-10  is a highly effective, industrial fungicide that exhibits excellent fungistatic and fungicidal activity against fungi, including yeasts and mold, and Gram-Positive bacteria, and limited activity against Gram-Negative bacteria. Commonly known as octhilinone, 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is the active ingredient of OIT-10. It is supplied as a 10 percent active liquid in propylene glycol. 
Typical Properties

These properties are typical but do not constitute specifications

Appearance

Pale yellow to amber liquid

Active Ingredient

10% 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

Water

1.0% max

Specific Gravity (g/ml) at 20°C

1.02-1.05

Solubility

OIT-10  Biocide is soluble in methanol, ethanol, propylene glycol, acetone, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, butyl Cellosolve, corn oil, and mineral oil.

The solubility of OIT-10 in toluene is 25% w/v.

The solubility of OIT-10 in water at 25°C is 480 ppm (active ingredient), although this may be increased by using suitable surfactants and emulsifiers. OIT-10 is insoluble in heptane.

Stability

In-Use Stability: OIT-10 Biocide has excellent stability in end use dilutions of metalworking fluids. It is stable over a wide pH range (4-10) in water and in metalworking fluid systems. Concentrate Stability OIT-10 Biocide stability, in metalworking fluid concentrates, is variable. We recommend checking stability and performance before commercialization of products. Ozzie has several recommended stabilizers to improvestability and compatibility in many types of concentrates.

Storage Stability

In general, the storage stability of OIT-10 Biocide product is excellent. The shelf life of the product is nominally twelve years at 25°C. It is strongly recommended, however, that both the stability and compatibility of OIT-10 Biocide in metalworking fluid formulations or systems be thoroughly examined before commercialization.
