2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one hydrochloride is an isothiazolinone based biocide and preservative used in personal care products. 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is also used for controlling microbial growth in water-containing solution. It is used to study the effects of tyrosine phosphorylation on focal adhesion kinase (FAK) activity in the development of neural axons and dendrites. 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one hydrochloride (Methylisothiazolinone hydrochloride) is a common preservative used in industrial products, owing to its strong biocide effect. Contact allergy to Methylisothiazolinone hydrochloride has been reported in different occupations, including mechanics, hairdressers and healthcare workers.
