1. CIT/MIT (3:1 ratio) – Chloromethylisothiazolinone / Methylisothiazolinone in a classic 3:1 ratio, providing rapid bacterial and algal control.
2. BIT (Benzisothiazolinone) – Added for long-term protection, especially against Gram-negative bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
3. Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol) – A formaldehyde-releaser that acts as a secondary stabilizer and enhances activity against biofilms.

Applications:

Incompatible With:

• Strong reducing agents (e.g., sodium sulfite, sodium metabisulfite) – will neutralize the isothiazolinones.
• High pH (>9.5) – prolonged exposure leads to ring-opening of the isothiazolone ring, causing loss of activity.
• Amines at >1% – certain primary amines can react with Bronopol, reducing efficacy.
• Elevated temperatures (>80°C) – add only after the batch has cooled below 60°C.

Efficacy Data: What The Tests Show

Laboratory challenge tests (OECD 105 / ASTM E640) demonstrate that Acticide LV 508 New achieves a 5-log reduction (99.999% kill) within 24 hours against: acticide lv 508 new
