Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone (Chemical Preservatives) ingredients provide protection cost
effective at low levels of addition. Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone can be used in the 5-15 ppm total active range for
thecontrol of bacteria, molds and yeasts, contaminants potentials of personal

preservatives,manufacturers should confirm the level required to ensure
protection and prevent potential incompatibility.

point in the manufacturing process to ensure complete protection of the
products or its components.Temperatures above 55°C and pH greater than 8,5
should be avolved after addition of Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone as some degradation of active
ingredients may occur.Methylchloroisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone is totally miscible with water,glycols and alcohols and is not affected by
