1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one ( BIT )
1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one ( BIT )
1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one, commonly known as BIT, is a broad spectrum biocide used to control bacterial and fungal growth in water based formulations. It is widely applied in paints, coatings, adhesives, construction chemicals, inks, and industrial preservatives where long lasting microbial protection is required. BIT works by disrupting essential microbial enzymes, helping prevent spoilage, odor formation, viscosity loss, and product degradation. It is effective at low dosages and performs well across a wide pH range, making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. BIT is valued for its stability, compatibility, and reliable performance in both in-can and dry film preservation systems.
