Vinkocide® BIT 10 G

Vinkocide® BIT 10 G is based on the active ingredient 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one. It is:

• Ideal for use in aqueous and water miscible systems
• Broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria, fungi and yeasts
• Free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releaser, phenolics, heavy metals or halogens
• Excellent chemical stability
• Excellent long-term efficacy
• Good compatibility with other raw materials

Vinkocide® BIT 10 G prevents microbial deterioration of products and the resulting effects such as:

• Phase separation
• Foul odor
• Gas formation
• Change of viscosity
• Formation of health threatening toxins

In many cases 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one can be used as the only preservative. Depending on the conditions and applications it can be useful to combine it with other biocides to enhance the fungicidal efficacy.
VinkocideTM BIT 10 G is highly suitable for the preservation of a wide variety of aqueous products due to their good properties:

• Good stability at high pH (3-13)
• Good stability at high temperatures

Experience shows that the compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, but we recommend testing the stability in individual formulations.
Under normal use patterns, 0.1 - 0.4 % VinkocideTM BIT 10 G (w/w) are sufficient in most applications.
