Overview
BIOBAN™ BTCM is a dual active biocide that is based on a combination of Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) and Methylchloroisothiazolinone/ Methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT). This combination provides great formulation flexibility to deliver globally-accepted levels of actives without compromising performance and cost.
BIOBAN™ BTCM is supplied in a flowable aqueous dispersion and provides efficacy against bacteria and fungi at a low level of use. It also provides a robust balance between fast-acting and long-term preservation with stability across broad pH range and temperatures.
