Krebs CycleMechanism of Action
The active components of ProClin are three isothiazolones, 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one.

Within minutes of contacting a microorganism, the active components penetrate the cell wall and inhibit specific enzymes (at the points noted in red in the Krebs Cycle).

Growth, macromolecule synthesis and respiration are inhibited, ultimately leading to cell death.

Biocides for other applications
SAFC and Sigma-Aldrich has a wide range of biocide products available for a applications ranging from research to product development and manufacturing.
