Application: BIT is a low toxicity, broad spectrum non-formaldehyde biocide. It’s widely used as an industrial biocide/preservative in a wide range of aqueous-based products(i.e. degergents, household cleaning products, laundry additives, paint & coatings, polymer emulsions, glues/adhesives, pesticides as well) to prevent bacterial growth and spoilage.

Benefits: BIT provides long-term, broad spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi and yeasts. It’s heating stable up to 150°C thereby allowing flexibility in its addition point within a wide range of manufacturing processes. Additionally, it contain no halogens, so it doesn't contribute to AOX, it neighter contains nor generates formaldehyde during using, it’s also available in wholly aqueous zero-VOC formulations.
