It is desirable to provide a fluid containing one or more 3-isothiazolones and a relatively high concentration of a specific alkanolamine, wherein the one or more 3-isothiazolones are stable upon storage. . A fluid composition comprising: (A) one or more non-chlorinated 3-isothiazolones, (B) 0.7 wt% to 10 wt% of one or more primary alkanolamines based on the weight of the fluid composition; (C) 2% to 30% by weight of one or more tertiary alkanolamines, based on the weight of the fluid composition; (D) comprising one or more stabilizers selected from the group consisting of iodine-containing stabilizers, mercaptobenzothiazoles, and mixtures thereof; A fluid composition is provided wherein the molar ratio of the stabilizer to the non-chlorinated 3-isothiazolone is 0.3: 1 to 3: 1.
