Methylisothiazolinone preservative molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of the biocide and preservative chemical methylisothiazolinone (MIT). MIT and other isothiazolinone-derived biocides are used to control microbial growth in water-containing solutions. MIT is often used in personal care products however,some studies have shown it to be allergenic and cytotoxic,leading to some concern over its use. Atoms are coloured coded: carbon (light blue),hydrogen (green),oxygen (red),sulphur (yellow),nitrogen (dark blue); with the bonds between them shown as rods | |
