Innova Corporate (India) offers Isothiazoline (Isothiazolinone) based biocide – a broad-spectrum, non-oxidizing preservative and microbicide for Amritsar's industrial water systems, paints, adhesives, metalworking fluids, and cooling towers. The active ingredient is a blend of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) in a 3:1 ratio, typically at 1.5% or 14% active concentration. For Amritsar's cooling towers (tanneries, textile mills, hotels), isothiazoline is effective at 1-15 ppm for controlling bacteria, algae, and fungi. It is non-foaming, stable over pH 3-9, and does not produce toxic byproducts (no THMs, no AOX). For Amritsar's water-based paint manufacturing (small decorative paint units serving the city's construction market), isothiazoline prevents in-can spoilage at 0.05-0.1% – extending shelf life from 6 months to 2 years. For adhesives and sealants, it preserves the product during storage. For leather tanneries, it preserves soaking and tanning floats, preventing bacterial attack on hides. One key advantage is its long residual activity (1-3 weeks), making it ideal for low-maintenance treatment of small cooling towers (e.g., in hotels near Golden Temple). However, it should not be used in systems with reducing agents like sodium sulfite (common oxygen scavenger) because sulfite deactivates it. The product is supplied as a clear liquid with a slight sulfur-like odor. Available in 25L, 200L drums. For dairy and food processing (Amritsar's sweets, dairy), we have a preservative-free alternative (not suitable for this biocide). For reverse osmosis systems (tanneries, food), isothiazoline can be used but avoid contact with membranes at high concentration (>15 ppm) – it may cause some swelling of polyamide. We provide biocide rotation programs (alternating with glutaraldehyde or DBNPA) to prevent resistance. Shelf life: 12 months (store in cool, dark place – below 30°C/86°F). For biofilm control, use a dispersant (e.g., bio-dispersant) alongside isothiazoline for synergistic effect.
