Product Description:

4,5-Dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (DCOIT) is an isothiazolinone-based fungicide known for its strong antifungal and biocidal properties. It is particularly effective in preventing the growth of fungi, bacteria, and algae in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. DCOIT is especially useful in water-exposed environments where microbial growth is a concern, ensuring long-lasting protection and maintaining the integrity of the treated materials.

Applications:

• Paints and Coatings: DCOIT is used to prevent microbial growth in paints and coatings, ensuring durability and resistance to mold and algae. It is effective in both water-based and solvent-based formulations.
• Wood Preservatives: Helps in preventing fungal decay and mold formation on wood products, providing long-term protection, especially for outdoor applications like decking and fencing.
• Adhesives: Prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi in adhesive formulations, ensuring longer shelf life and performance stability.
• Building Materials: Effective in preventing microbial contamination in building materials such as drywall, plaster, and insulation, especially in areas with high humidity or moisture exposure.
• Cooling Water Systems: Controls the growth of algae, bacteria, and fungi in industrial cooling water systems, helping to prevent biofouling and maintaining system efficiency.
• Textile Industry: Used to control microbial growth in textiles, particularly for fabrics exposed to damp or wet conditions, such as outdoor and industrial fabrics.

Storage and Handling:

Storage: Store in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Handling: Handle with appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, to avoid skin and eye contact.
