Vinkocide® CMIF N 20

Vinkocide® CMIF N 20 is a monovalent stabilized formulation containing a mixture of 5-Chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (CIT) and 2-Methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT), along with Tetrahydro-1,3,4.6-tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)imidazo[4,5-d] (TMAD). This composition effectively disrupts microbial cell function, preventing microbial adaptation. It is suitable for use in aqueous and water-miscible systems, offering a broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Vinkocide® CMIF-N 20 is particularly effective against Gram-negative bacteria and is often successful where other preservatives fail. It provides good headspace protection and combines excellent long-term efficacy with the rapid mode of action of CIT/MIT. Additionally, it is cost-effective due to its low usage levels. Vinkocide® CMIF-N 20 is ideal for various preservation applications, including products during storage, liquid-cooling systems, slimicides, and working or cutting fluid preservatives.

Product Applications
  • Preservatives for products during storage: Products used for the preservation of manufactured products, other than foodstuffs, feedingstuffs, cosmetics or medicinal products or medical devices by the control of microbial deterioration to ensure their shelf life. Products used as preservatives for the storage or use of rodenticide, insecticide or other baits.
  • Preservatives for liquid-cooling and processing systems: Products used for the preservation of water or other liquids used in cooling and processing systems by the control of harmful organisms such as microbes, algae and mussels. Products used for the disinfection of drinking water or of water for swimming pools are not included in this product-type.
  • Slimicides: Products used for the prevention or control of slime growth on materials, equipment and structures, used in industrial processes, e.g. on wood and paper pulp, porous sand strata in oil extraction.
  • Working or cutting fluid preservatives: Products to control microbial deterioration in fluids used for working or cutting metal, glass or other materials.
