1 of 14 products in this brand
Casacide™ T400 is a non-metallic organosulphur compound with excellent fungicidal and bactericidal activity. The active ingredient, 2-(Thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TCMTB), is stable in acidic and alkali media and can be used in a single formulation or combined with other active ingredients. Casacide™ T400 can be formulated with a range of surface active agents to produce a concentrated blend which can form stable emulsions when diluted with water. The surfactants ensure rapid penetration of the TCMTB into a range of organic substrates resulting in long lasting microbial protection against a broad range of bacteria and fungi.
