Usage:Benzisothiazolinone has a microbicide and a fungicide mode of action. It is widely used as a preservative, for example in:

• emulsion paints, caulks, varnishes, adhesives, inks, and photographic processing solutions 
• home cleaning and car care products; laundry detergents, stain removers and fabric softeners;
• industrial settings, for example in textile spin-finish solutions, leather processing solutions, preservation of fresh animal hides and skins
• agriculture in pesticide formulations
• gas and oil drilling in muds and packer fluids preservation.
• In paints, it is commonly used alone or as a mixture with methylisothiazolinone. Typical concentrations in products are 200–400 ppm depending on the application area and the combination with other biocides. According to a study in Switzerland, 19% of the paints, varnishes and coatings contained BIT in 2000. The fraction in adhesives, sealants, plasters and fillers was shown at that time as 25%.A later study in 2014 shows a dramatic rise in usage, to 95.8% of house paints.

Cautions :
Operational instruction must be strictly followed. Avoid any contact with the skin. Wear protective clothes, goggles, and rubber gloves in operation. Once any contact with the skin happens, wash the skin immediately with plenty of water and soaps; when it splashes into eyes, wash immediately with plenty of water and buffer solutions.
