Isothiazolinone Preservative Supplier in Malaysia
Isothiazolinone preservative systems are specified in Malaysian industrial and manufacturing procurement by the member of this chemical family. The page covers methylisothiazolinone (MIT), methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) and CMIT/MIT preservative blends while keeping each active identity clear.
Other family members include benzisothiazolinone (BIT) and octylisothiazolinone (OIT). MIT, CMIT, BIT and OIT are distinct active substances, while CMIT/MIT is a formulated blend, so buyers should state the precise system and required actives content.
These clear to pale aqueous products are used in personal care, household and industrial cleaners, paints, coatings, adhesives, latex and emulsion polymers, metalworking fluids, paper processing and selected water-treatment applications. Selection depends on the formulation, application and purchasing specification rather than the family name alone.
Send the required member or blend, actives content, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

- Grade
- MIT preservative, CMIT preservative, CMIT/MIT preservative blend, BIT preservative, OIT preservative
- Appearance
- Clear to pale aqueous solution, depending on the active system and actives content
Isothiazolinone grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) preservative | Clear to pale aqueous solution | — | Product preservation where the formulation specifies MIT as the active system. | — |
| Methylchloroisothiazolinone (CMIT) preservative | Clear to pale aqueous solution | — | Product preservation where the specification identifies CMIT, commonly considered with an MIT co-active. | — |
| CMIT/MIT preservative blend | Clear to pale aqueous solution | — | In-can preservation for personal care, cleaning, coating, adhesive, latex and emulsion formulations. | — |
| Benzisothiazolinone (BIT) preservative | Clear to pale aqueous solution | — | Industrial in-can preservation where the formulation specifically calls for a BIT system. | — |
| Octylisothiazolinone (OIT) preservative | Clear to pale aqueous solution | — | Industrial preservation where the formulation specifically calls for an OIT system. | — |

Isothiazolinone applications
Common questions about isothiazolinone
What is covered by the isothiazolinone product family?
The family includes distinct active substances such as MIT, CMIT, BIT and OIT, as well as formulated systems such as a CMIT/MIT blend. State the exact member or blend required because these are not interchangeable names for one substance.
What is the difference between MIT, CMIT and a CMIT/MIT blend?
MIT and CMIT are separate isothiazolinone active substances, while a CMIT/MIT product combines both in a formulated blend. The enquiry should identify the required system and actives content rather than referring only to the family name.
Which isothiazolinone grade should I request?
Specify the formulation type, intended application, required active system and actives content. These details distinguish personal-care preservative requirements from industrial in-can and process biocide requirements.
Can I request BIT or OIT on this page?
Yes, the page covers BIT and OIT as separate members of the isothiazolinone family. Name the required member clearly so it is not treated as MIT, CMIT or a CMIT/MIT blend.
What packing and documents are available for isothiazolinone products?
Send the selected active system, actives content, quantity, packing preference and document requirements. Available packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
How is isothiazolinone preservative priced?
Pricing depends on the selected member or blend, actives content, quantity and packing requirement. ChemTrade provides a quotation with a stated validity period after reviewing the enquiry.
