General description
Pharmaceutical secondary standard for applications in quality control, provides pharma laboratories and manufacturers with a convenient and cost-effective alternative to the preparation of in-house working standards.
CMIT/MIT is an isothiazolone biocide having a 3:1 ratio of CMIT and MIT, widely used for its broad-spectrum action against microbes, algae, and fungi. It is one of the active ingredients of humidifier disinfectants and a commonly used preservative in industrial products such as cosmetics, paints, adhesives and detergents.
