Microbicide for Household, Industrial and Institutional Products

Description

OIT-5 Microbicide is recommended as an in-container preservative for the control of fungi (mold and yeast) in industrial and household consumer products - including fabric softeners, laundry detergents, cleaners, dish detergents, polishes, pre-spotters and surfactants.

OIT-5 is recommended as a co-biocide to be used in combination with a preservative providing bacterial control.

OIT-5  is a salt free formulation based on the 2-n-Octylisothiazolinone (OIT) active ingredient.

Recommended Use Directions For OIT-5 Microbicide

Add 0.2 - 1.5 pounds OIT-5 Microbicide (91 - 680 gram) to each 1000 pounds (453.6 kilogram) of product. This treatment will provide 10-75 parts per million active ingredient (0.02% to 0.15% OIT-5 as supplied).

OIT-5  preservative should be added as the last ingredient and at the lowest temperature possible(< 45 °C). In addition, secondary amines, oxidizing agents/reducing agents, thiols and sulfides should beminimized or avoided.

Since the components of consumer and industrial formulations vary considerably and may have an impact on the microbicides, we urge each manufacturer to confirm the efficacy and stability of OIT-5  in their products.

Safe Handling of OIT-5

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when handling OIT-5 microbicide. In general; avoid eye and skin contact, wear safety goggles, and protective clothing. Refer to the material safety data sheet for additional safety and handling information.
