CAS No : 55965-84-9
Nipacide BSM is an In-can biocide based on BIT/MIT.
Nipacide BSM is an, isothiazolinone blend, water based, low toxicity biocide, developed for the complete in-can protection of water based products.
Nipacide BSM is effective against a wide range of microorganisms including gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Microorganisms grow at a rapid rate and without use of the correct biocide, numbers can increase dramatically.
VOC-free mixture of 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) & 5-Chloro-2-methyl-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-Methyl-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT / MIT).
Acts as an in-can biocide/fungicide/bactericide.
Nipacide BSM prevents microbial growth.
The recommended dose level is 0.2-0.4%.
Nipacide BSM complies with following regulations: FDA 175.105, FDA 176.170, FDA 176.180, BfR XIV, BfR XXXVI, EU directives 1999/13EC, EU directives 2004/42/EC and Blue angel (RAL-UZ-102).
In-Can degradation in paints, polymer and adhesives as a result of bacterial and fungal contamination, can result in:
Loss of viscosity
Gassing
Discoloration
Bad odors
Product splitting
Loss of adhesion
Production clean down and production down time
Applications of Nipacide BSM:
Nipacide BSM is recommended for preservation of a wide range of applications including water based, casein, and PVA adhesives.
Polymer emulsions including, SBR latex, Polyvinyl acetate and acrylic.
