Nalco 2593 is a liquid microbiocide used in industrial recirculating cooling-water systems to control bacteria, fungi and algae. Active ingredients listed in regulatory records are 5‑chloro‑2‑methyl‑4‑isothiazolin‑3‑one (CMIT) ~1.15% and 2‑methyl‑4‑isothiazolin‑3‑one (MIT) ~0.35%; the rest are inert ingredients. The product is registered as a potent biocide and carries strong hazard warnings.

If you want, I can extract and summarize exact SDS section text (composition, exposure limits, and recommended PPE) from a specific Nalco/Ecolab SDS if you provide the file or want me to request it.

Ensure secondary containment is in place to prevent leaks from reaching floor drains or local waterways.
