Why This Matters: The Future of Biocides & Preservatives

Biocides—such as isothiazolinones (MIT, CMIT, DCOIT, BIT, OIT)—offer powerful antifungal and antimicrobial properties. These are widely used in water systems, coatings, wood treatments, and personal care products. However, environmental and health concerns related to toxicity and allergenicity necessitate a balanced approach toward safer and more sustainable formulations.
