Product Parameters:
Methylene Bis Thiocyanate Application:
1. Fungicide and Algaecide:
Methyl dithiocyanate is a highly effective, broad-spectrum fungicide and algaecide, highly effective against major bacteria, fungi, and algae in circulating water, with long-lasting efficacy. It is suitable for a variety of applications, including oilfield water treatment, circulating cooling water treatment, and the control of marine growth on the hulls of ocean-going vessels.
2. Pesticide:
Methyl dithiocyanate can be formulated into a 1% emulsifiable concentrate, which is a highly effective, broad-spectrum, and safe fungicide for crops. It is highly effective against rice bakanae (bakanae) and stem tip nematode disease, barley stripe, web blotch, and hard smut. It also has excellent control effects against other diseases caused by seed-borne bacteria, fungi, and nematodes.
3. Fish Medicine:
Methyl dithiocyanate can be formulated into a pollution-free fish medicine suitable for water disinfection and sterilization in various aquaculture applications.
4. Other fields:
Dithiocyanomethane can also be used for anti-corrosion, sterilization and algaecide of electrical materials, bamboo and wood products, coatings, rubber, leather, canvas, paste, ink, etc.
Methylene Bis Thiocyanate Advantages
The advantages of Methylene Bis Thiocyanate (MBT) lie primarily in its high efficiency and broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, low toxicity and environmental friendliness, long-lasting stability, and strong compatibility with other agents. These advantages are as follows:
1. High Efficiency and Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Effect:
MBT has a potent bactericidal effect against bacteria, molds, algae, and protozoa, with particular effectiveness against sulfate-reducing bacteria, common bacteria found in industrial circulating water. At a dosage of 3-4 ppm, it achieves a bactericidal rate exceeding 99% against heterotrophic bacteria, Escherichia coli, and iron-bacterial bacteria, and is adaptable to a wide pH and temperature range.
2. Low Toxicity and Environmental Friendly:
MBT hydrolyzes into thiocyanate, formaldehyde, and a small amount of sulfide, which are low in toxicity and readily degrade, thus minimizing environmental pollution. Its non-oxidizing properties prevent loss of activity due to contaminants or debris in the water, thus meeting environmental requirements.
3. Long-Lasting Stability:
The stock solution is highly stable, maintaining its efficacy over a long period of time, and providing long-term microbial growth inhibition. In soil treatment, although its inhibitory effects on fungi, actinomycetes, and nematodes gradually weaken over time, it still maintains some effectiveness for 50 days. It can also stimulate bacterial proliferation and promote soil respiration.
4. Strong Compatibility:
It exhibits good compatibility with other antifungal agents, often exhibiting synergistic effects and enhancing overall fungicidal and antifungal capabilities.
