NIPACIDE BIT 20 is a 20% aqueous dipropylene glycol solution of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one. 
Used for the preservation of industrial water-based products against spoilage from bacteria, yeasts and fungi. 

NIPACIDE BIT 20 has a non-specific mode of action which means that bacterial resistance is very unlikely to occur. 
NIPACIDE BIT 20 boils without flashing and is stable in the presence of amines. 

The concentration of NIPACIDE BIT 20 required to adequately preserve your product depends on several factors. 
These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which micro-organisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature, and length of time for which protection is required. 

Suitable for use in synthetic polymer emulsions, emulsion paints, printing inks, paper coating compositions. 
Recommended dosage is 0.05-0.15% w/w for these applications.

NIPACIDE BIT 20 is an anti-bacterial, 19.3% active content, Formaldehyde free glycol/alcohol solution suitable for all types of formulations. 
NIPACIDE BIT 20 Preservative, an aqueous solution of 1, 2- benzisothiazolin3-one, is an efficient microbiostat preservative for aqueous compositions such as oil in water emulsions. 

Many aqueous dispersions and emulsions can be seriously impaired during storage and use due to the growth in them of bacteria and fungi. 
NIPACIDE BIT 20 Preservative is an effective preservative against growth of the above microbial agents in the aqueous systems listed.

NIPACIDE BIT 20 may also be used for the control of bacteria and fungi in package utility products including pre-moistened sponges and mops. 

NIPACIDE BIT 20 may also be used for the control of bacteria and fungi in solutions that are then put into/onto wet wipes for use in industrial, commercial residential and household uses cited above. 
Wet wipes containing a solution preserved with this product may not be used for personal care, as baby wipes, or for food contact.
NIPACIDE BIT 20 microbiocide may be added to those products formulated as concentrates which are in turn diluted for use at a level to ensure that the final usedilution product will contain between 0.05 - 0.20 % NIPACIDE BIT 20. 

Amount to Use of NIPACIDE BIT 20:
NIPACIDE BIT 20 should be added to the system as early in the process as possible. 
The concentration of NIPACIDE BIT 20 required to adequately preserve your product depends on several factors. 
These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which micro-organisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature, and length of time for which protection is required.

However, NIPACIDE BIT 20 is recommended that a testing programme be undertaken to determine the most costeffective dose for your application.

Testing should take into account chemical compatibility/stability, plant hygiene conditions, susceptibility of the product to contamination, and the typical organisms involved.

Recommended usage level of NIPACIDE BIT 20: 0.1 - 0.25%.
