Application:

Biocides CMIT/MIT is widely used in various industries, including personal care products, paints and coatings, adhesives, water-based metalworking fluid and industrial water treatment. It is effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae.

In personal care products, biocides CMIT/MIT acts as a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that can cause product spoilage and degradation. It helps maintain the safety and shelf life of products such as shampoos, lotions, and household cleaners.

Storage Notes: Sealed stored in cold, dry, good ventilated place, avoid high temperature and moist.

Advantages and dosage: Biocides CMIT/MIT for Cosmetic/Personal Care Chemicals

Effectively kills bacteria, molds, and yeasts. The general addition amount is 100-200 ppm.

Isothiazolinone-based biocides: in order to match different clients’ requirement, we can supply Isothiazolinones CMIT/MIT with different stabilizers either Sodium salt or Magnesium Salts/ This is helpful for higher requirement clients for biocides in Cosmetic and Personal Care application.

What should be considered when you choose the right biocides for Cosmetic and Personal Care products?

Regulatory compliance: Different regions have specific regulations and standards regarding the use of biocides in cosmetic and personal care items. It is crucial to ensure that the selected biocide complies with the relevant laws and regulations of the target market. For example, in the European Union, the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) sets strict requirements for biocide use.

Efficacy against target microorganisms: The biocide should be effective against the specific microorganisms that are likely to contaminate the product. This requires understanding the common spoilage organisms and potential pathogens associated with the particular cosmetic or personal care formulation. For instance, preservatives that are effective against bacteria might not be as potent against fungi.

Compatibility with the formulation: The biocide must be compatible with the other ingredients in the cosmetic or personal care product. It should not cause any adverse reactions such as changes in color, odor, texture, or stability. For example, some biocides might interact with certain surfactants or emulsifiers and reduce the overall quality of the product.

Safety for human use: The biocide should have a low potential for causing skin irritation, sensitization, or other adverse health effects. Extensive safety testing and evaluation of the biocide’s toxicity profile is necessary. Consider products that have been evaluated and approved by recognized safety authorities.

Stability and shelf life: The biocide should remain active and stable throughout the expected shelf life of the cosmetic or personal care product. It should not degrade or lose its effectiveness over time.

Environmental impact: In today’s environmentally conscious market, it is increasingly important to consider the environmental fate and impact of the biocide. Choose biocides that are less harmful to the environment and biodegradable.

Cost and availability: The cost of the biocide and its availability in the required quantities should also be considered. However, cost should not compromise the quality and safety of the product.
