Vinkocide® CMIK
Broadband biocide
Vinkocide® CMIK is a formulation of 5-chloro-2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (CIT) and 2-methyl-2H-isothiazol-3-one (MIT) with 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT).
Area of use
Vinkocide® CMIK is used to preserve water-based and water-dilutable chemical/technical products as in-can preservatives, slimicides and protective media for fluids used in metalworking. These biocide formulations have a broad antimicrobial spectrum of activity against bacteria, fungi and yeasts and can be used in many cases where other products fail.
Product properties
This broadband biocide is cost effective due to low concentrations of use and exhibits outstanding long-term effectiveness with fast onset of action.
Action
Vinkocide® CMIK penetrates the cells of the micro-organisms and reacts with vital cell elements in order to inactivate important substrates and enzymes that are essential for the function of the cell. These relatively non-specific reactions prevent adaptation and resistance phenomena and cause the micro-organisms to die. They also prevent the microbial decay of products and the resulting processes such as phase separation, unpleasant odours, gas formation, changes in viscosity and the formation of harmful toxins.
