OZZIE MB 2.5 BIOCIDE                                Email:sales@ozziechemical.com

(Water borne formulations of MIT/BIT

In-can preservation of paints, binders and related products




General

Ozzie MB 2.5 biocide is an aqueous solution of BIT (1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one) and MIT(2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one) at a ratio of 1:1 for the in-can preservation of technical products.

Ozzie MB 2.5 is a VOC- and AOX-free preparation. It is formulated without the addition of any organic solvents, halogenated organic compounds, formaldehyde releasing compounds or bivalent metal ions, and therefore, it is highly compatible in most binder and paint systems.

Ozzie MB 2.5 combines the well proven active ingredients BIT and MIT which can provide a long-term and broad efficacy spectrum.

Applications and Dosage

Ozzie MB 2.5 Biocide has a broad spectrum of activity against microorganisms, allowing a robust preservation of a wide range of products such as paints, adhesives, latex emulsions, tackifiers, mineral slurries, pigment dispersions and other technical water-based products.

Typical dose levels of Ozzie MB 2.5 Biocide are between 0.2– 0.4% in the finished product. The amount of a preservative to be added is dependent on the susceptibility of the raw materials against microbial spoilage and their level of contamination. The amount of preservative used can be minimized by observing hygienic conditions in the storage of raw materials, during production, filling processes and subsequent warehousing. Our Biological and Technical Laboratories are able to give you professional advice whenever necessary.
