Nipacide CI
Chemical name: Chlor-methyl and methyl isothiazolinone
CMIT/MIT 14 %
5-Chloro-2-methyl-2,3-dihydroisothiazol-3-one and 2-Methyl-2,3-dihydroisothiazol-3-one (3:1)
Concentration : 14 %
CAS number : 55965-84-9
EINECS number : 247-500-7
Description;
Nipacide CI is a concentrated CMIT/MIT water based biocide, developed for the complete in-can protection of water based products.
Nipacide CI 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.
Use level;
Nipacide CI should be evaluated in finished products at levels between 0.01% and 0.03%.
Please note, however, that the use of Nipacide CI above 0.01% requires R43 (causes sensitization by skin contact) hazard labeling.
If labeling is an issue it is recommended you consider an alternative Clariant biocide, either CMIT/MIT free or a CMIT/MIT combination biocide eg Nipacide CFX 4 or Nipacide IB
Microbiological data;
Nipacide CI has a broad spectrum of activity which is demonstrated by the following MIC data.
MIC Levels Organism MIC (ppm)

Applications;
Nipacide CI is recommended for preservation of a wide range of applications including water based /Latex/PVA adhesives, PVA / Acrylic polymer emulsions, water based decorative paints, printing inks, metal working fluids and construction admixtures.
Nipacide CI is effective against a wide range of common spoilage organisms.
Thermal and pH stability for Nipacide CI is a critical consideration and it should not be use for products with pH >8.5 or production temperatures of >40 0C.
Great care should be taken when using this material due to its corrosive nature and Nipacide CI 15 should be a serious consideration for most applications as a dilute, safer to handle, alternative.
Nipacide CI can also be used for reduction in microbial spoilage of industrial water cooling systems.
Chemical compatibility;
Nipacide CI is compatible with most raw materials used in the manufacture of industrial products. Nipacide CI compatibility should always be checked and evaluated before use.
