Nipacide OIT is a broad-spectrum low-toxicity fungicide of Clariant’s Nipacide series, with octylisothiazolinone (OIT) as the core component, designed based on ethylene glycol system. It is specially created for anti-corrosion and sterilization of water-based and solvent-based products, can fully resist algae and fungi infestation, adapt to a wide pH range, with flexible addition amount
Rapid and high-efficiency sterilization - Quickly kill existing microorganisms in the system within 2-3 hours, quickly solve pollution problems
Low-toxic, low-dose and high-efficiency - Low toxicity and low irritation, addition amount only 100-300PPM, high cost performance
Excellent water solubility and easy addition - Completely soluble in water, no complicated treatment required, can be directly added and take effect quickly
Wide pH adaptation - Adapt to pH 4-9 range, can maintain stable bactericidal effect in different water-based systems
Exclusive for on-site supplementary addition - Designed specifically for on-site supplementary addition, quickly curb microbial growth and avoid system deterioration
Metalworking fluids - On-site supplementary sterilization, quickly kill microorganisms, avoid metalworking fluids spoiling, smelling and demulsifying
Water-based coatings - In-can supplementary protection, inhibit mold and bacteria growth, prevent coatings from moldy and caked
Water-based adhesives - Rapid supplementary sterilization, avoid adhesive deterioration, ensure stable product performance
Printing fountain solution - On-site supplementary sterilization, prevent microbial contamination of fountain solution, ensure stable printing effect
Industrial circulating water - Quickly kill microorganisms in water, curb algae growth, and maintain water cleanliness

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Nipacide OIT?
A: Nipacide OIT functions as a broad-spectrum biocide by inhibiting key enzymatic processes essential for microbial cell metabolism and replication, particularly in fungi and bacteria.
Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Nipacide OIT commonly used?
A: It is widely applied in water-based coatings, adhesives, sealants, construction materials, and industrial cleaning products where long-term protection against microbial degradation is required.
Q3: Is Nipacide OIT compatible with common thickeners and surfactants used in aqueous systems?
A: Yes, Nipacide OIT demonstrates good compatibility with typical non-ionic and anionic surfactants, as well as associative and non-associative thickeners, though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is recommended.
Q4: How should Nipacide OIT be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the final stage of manufacturing, after pH adjustment and cooling, to minimize thermal degradation and ensure optimal stability and performance.
Q5: What regulatory status does Nipacide OIT hold for use in industrial applications?
A: Nipacide OIT is registered under major global biocidal regulations including the EU BPR and US EPA, and is approved for use in industrial preservative applications subject to local authorization requirements.
