Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) is a widely used biocide and belongs to the group of isothiazolinones.
Usage
Benzisothiazolinone has a microbicide and a fungicide mode of action. It is used as a preservative in emulsion paints, varnishes, adhesives, washing agents, fuels and in the papermaking process. In paints, it is commonly used as a mixture with methylisothiazolinone. Typical concentrations in products are 200–400 ppm depending on the application area and the combination with other biocides. According to a study in Switzerland, 19% of the paints, varnishes and coatings contained BIT in 2000. The fraction in adhesives, sealants, plasters and fillers was 25%. [2]
Health hazards
It is a known human immune system toxicant, and also is classified as irritant for skin, eyes and lungs.[3] It is widely used as an active ingredient in many home cleaning products.
This ingredient is suspected of causing immunotoxicity, according to sources compiled by Scorecard (www.scorecard.org.), it is suspected of causing respiratory toxicity. It is also suspected of causing skin or sense organ toxicity,
1,2-BENZISOTHIAZOLIN-3-ONE is found in products such as laundry detergent, air fresheners, hand dishwashing, glass and surface cleaner, kitchen cleaners, stain removers, all purpose cleaners, carpet care products, floor care products, fabric treatment, automatic dishwasher products, bath and shower cleaners, liquid hand soap, sunscreen SPF 15 and above, fabric softener sheets, wood treatment, furniture polish, metal cleaner, foot odor control, drain cleaners, household cleaner wipes, bar soap, bath oil/salts/soaks, toilet bowl cleaner, baby care products, food, baby sunscreen, masks, hair spray and degreasers.
