Purpose:
   1. It is used as preservative in bath, shampoo and washing liquid, and can be used in cooling water, circulating water, papermaking and paint coatings in industry.
   2. It is a highly effective antimicrobial drug with a broad-spectrum antibacterial ability. It is used for sterilization and corrosion protection of papermaking coatings, oilfield water injection, daily chemical industry, etc.
   3. It is a general antiseptic and antiseptic, which can effectively kill algae, bacteria and fungi. The active single agent can be widely used in industrial cooling water, oil field tank water, paper industry, pipeline, paint, paint, rubber, cosmetics, photosensitive film and detergent industries. The effective dosage is small, it is non-toxic and non-polluting. It is easy to mix in various formulas. The PH has a wide range of use. After diluting the concentration, it is easily biodegraded into non-toxic and non-polluting substances. Low toxicity, no residue in emissions, good compatibility with various emulsifiers, surfactants and protein ingredients. MIT can effectively kill a variety of bacteria at low concentrations, and is especially suitable for the preservation of cosmetics and personal care preparations. Applicable pH range: pH2.0-12.0, miscible with water, can be added in any process, easy to operate.
