Application and Activity

CMIT/MIT-1.5F is a wet state preservative with a very wide application field such as paints,plasters, adhesives, inks, dispersion and emulsion binders and aqueous technical products.

Dosage

The number of technical products being preserved with CMIT/MIT-1.5F is increasing steadily and it is not always possible to predict its suitability. The optimum use should be established by a preliminary experiment. In critical cases, predilution with water is often helpful. The optimum dosage rate of CMIT/MIT-1.5F depends upon the degree of contamination and the susceptibility of the product to be preserved.

Occasionally, the degree of contamination exhibits seasonal fluctuation, so that a periodical determination of germ counts can assist in choosing the optimum dosage rate.Therefore, the ranges of concentrations listed below should be taken as general guidelines only:

Binders 0.05 - 0.30%

Other products                         0.05 - 0.15%
