TCMTB-DL is an effective broad spectrum biocide in liquid form for the protection against bacterial and fungal growth in the wet state. It is miscible with most organic solvents and can be formulated with a range of surface active agents which can form stable emulsions when diluted further with water. It is also stable in both acid and alkali media.
