5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one

Description:
5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, commonly referred to as CMIT, is a synthetic organic compound primarily used as a biocide and preservative in various industrial applications, including cosmetics, paints, and water treatment. It is characterized by its isothiazolinone structure, which contributes to its antimicrobial properties, making it effective against bacteria, fungi, and algae. CMIT is typically a pale yellow to colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in formulations. The compound is known for its stability under a range of pH conditions, although it can be sensitive to light and heat. Safety considerations are important, as CMIT can be a skin and respiratory irritant, and it has been associated with allergic reactions in some individuals. Regulatory guidelines often dictate its concentration limits in consumer products to mitigate potential health risks. Overall, CMIT is valued for its efficacy in preserving products and preventing microbial growth, but it requires careful handling and usage.
