Isothiazolinones are a group of broad-spectrum biocides widely used for their antimicrobial properties. They are effective against bacteria, fungi, and algae, making them suitable for various applications. Here are some common uses of isothiazolinones:
1. Industrial Applications
Water Treatment: Isothiazolinones are used to control microbial growth in cooling towers, boilers, and other water systems. They prevent biofouling and maintain the efficiency of water circulation systems.
Oil and Gas Industry: They are used in drilling fluids, injection water, and production water to prevent microbial-induced corrosion and biofouling.
Paints and Coatings: Added to paints, coatings, and varnishes to prevent microbial degradation and extend shelf life.
Adhesives and Sealants: Used to prevent microbial growth in products that are stored and used in moist environments.
2. Personal Care and Household Products
Shampoos and Conditioners: Used as preservatives to prevent microbial contamination and extend shelf life.
Liquid Soaps and Body Washes: Added to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi in moist conditions.
Household Cleaners: Included in formulations to prevent microbial growth in products like surface cleaners and dishwashing liquids.
3. Cosmetics and Toiletries
Skin Care Products: Used in creams, lotions, and moisturizers to maintain product integrity and prevent spoilage.
Makeup: Included in formulations to prevent contamination and extend the shelf life of products like foundations, mascaras, and eyeliners.
4. Construction and Building Materials
Concrete Additives: Used to prevent microbial growth in concrete admixtures.
Wood Preservatives: Applied to protect wood from fungal and bacterial degradation.
5. Paper and Pulp Industry
Paper Coatings: Added to paper coatings and slurries to prevent microbial growth during production and storage.
Pulp Processing: Used in pulp mills to control microbial growth in process water and pulp.
6. Textile Industry
Fabric Treatments: Applied to fabrics and textiles to prevent microb
