New Resolva 24H weedkiller ingredient.

I have just bought a bottle of Resolva 24H Weedkiller assuming it was Glyphosate as previously.
Read the label with a magnifying glass (why is pertinent information so small!) and see it contains 1,2-Benzisothiazol-3(2H)-One, Sodium Salt.
Does anyone know anything about this as all I can find is very technical information.

If you're using it as a herbicide be very careful about wearing protective clothing and don't use it anywhere near water.
Just found this, in English. Not encouraging.

As with any weedkiller, don't drink it. It's fine for it's intended use. No need for scaremongering.
As for weedkilllers in general and glyphosate in particular, there will always be lobbying for and against and the enviornmentalists are getting louder and better organised so yes, I expect this product to have the same sort of along with neo-nicitioids and so on.
I have used glyphosate, carefully and not Monsanto's, and will no doubt use other such products if I come across a weed I can't shift otherwise but I'd rather not.
I'll carry on using glyphosate, carefully, and selectively and in accordance with the instructions.
The 2 chemicals are listed in different places and both in extremely small print.
You would think that with any chemicals you would be able to find them listed easily on the bottle and easy to read.
A bit like the warnings on cigarette packets.
