Innova Corporate (India) offers Isothiazoline-based biocide (CMIT/MIT 1.5% or 14% active) for Amritsar's industrial water treatment, paints, adhesives, metalworking fluids, and cooling towers. The active ingredients – 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (CMIT) and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (MIT) – are highly effective against bacteria, fungi, and algae at low concentrations (1-15 ppm). For Amritsar's cooling towers (tanneries, textile mills, hotels), isothiazoline provides long-term microbial control (residual activity 1-2 weeks) without foaming or volatility. For leather tanneries, it preserves soaking and tanning floats, preventing bacterial attack on hides. For water-based paint manufacturing (small local units), isothiazoline prevents in-can spoilage at 0.05-0.2%. For metalworking fluids in Amritsar's small engineering workshops, it extends fluid life. The biocide works by inhibiting key enzymes involved in cellular respiration – specifically it reacts with thiol (-SH) groups. It is stable over pH 3-9 and at temperatures up to 50°C (122°F). However, it should NOT be used in systems containing reducing agents like sodium sulfite (common oxygen scavenger) because sulfite deactivates it. For Amritsar's common effluent treatment plant (CETP) for tanneries, isothiazoline is sometimes added to final effluent to prevent biofouling in discharge pipes. The product is REACH compliant and EPA registered. For dairy and food processing, we offer a food-grade isothiazoline (1.5% active) with FDA approval. Available in 25L, 200L drums, and 1000L IBCs. For small-scale formulators, we offer 1.5% ready-to-use solution in 5L pails. We provide challenge testing and biocide rotation programs for Amritsar's industries to prevent resistance.
Dosage in cooling water treatment programs 50 to 120 ppm for effective control of biocide activity, for cooling waters.
INNOVA BCD 407 can be fed as received or diluted with water minimum 10% concentration with any chemical feed solution. The chemical should be added to cooling tower basin (or any other point, which provides uniform mixing) addition should be made to metering pump to minimize handling.
Badly fouled systems must be cleaned before treatment to start. INITIAL DOSE - When the system is noticeably fouled, slug feed 50 to 75 ppm of INNOVA BCD 407 in the system. SUBSEQUENT DOSE - When the Microbial count is evident, slug feed 25 to 50 ppm of INNOVA BCD 407.
he best indication of the successful application of INNOVA BCD 407 is visual inspection of tower surfaces or monitoring changes in heat transfer on metal surface of process equipment. Uses of on-site bacterial counts or microscopic examination provide relative indicators of system cleanliness and biological control. If bacteria counts are used, Note that counts may be high immediately after biocide addition. Counts will be lower as control is achieved
INNOVA BCD 407 is available in 25Kgs, 50Kgs & 200 Kgs.
