NIPACIDE BIT 20 is a glycol-based liquid formulation of approximately 20% BIT. It is a low-toxicity biocide for the complete in-can microbiological protection of industrial water-based products against bacterial and fungal spoilage in the wet state. It is effective over a wide pH and temperature range and exhibits good long-term protection against microbial contamination in various applications. NIPACIDE BIT 20 is recommended for the preservation of a wide range of applications including water-based adhesives, polymer emulsions, water-based decorative paints, pigment slurries, metal working fluids, sealants, and tile grouts, household products, printing inks, car care products and concrete admixtures where protection against fungi and bacteria is required in the wet state. As it is a glycol-based formulation it can also be used for solvent-based systems.
