Posted by The main applications of isothiazolinone are very wide, mainly including the following fields:
1. Industrial circulating cooling water system: Adding isothiazolinone to the circulating cooling water of large industrial facilities such as iron and steel mills, power plants, etc. can prevent corrosion and efficiency loss problems caused by microbial growth.
2. Oilfield water injection: used in oilfield reinjection water treatment, inhibit the growth of sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and other harmful microorganisms, to protect the underground reservoir from damage.
3. paper making industry: adding isothiazolinone to pulp and white water recycling process can prevent mould and odour and improve product quality.
4. Wastewater treatment: Helps to control the microbiological content of wastewater and ensures that the quality of the effluent meets discharge standards.
5. Swimming pools and water parks: the addition of isothiazolinones can significantly improve the safety of water quality and protect the health of swimmers.
6. personal care products and cosmetics: due to its good antimicrobial properties, isothiazolinone is also added directly to personal care products and cosmetics to inhibit microbial growth.
7. Pesticides, cutting oils, leather, inks, dyes, tanning and other industries: Isothiazolinone is also widely used in these industries as a broad-spectrum, highly efficient, low-toxicity, non-oxidising biocide.
In summary, isothiazolinone is widely used as a biocide in several industries due to its high efficiency, broad-spectrum and low toxicity.
