Product Application

Bionix® BP25 can be dosed directly either by open pouring or by metered pump, for cooling water applications open pouring is not permitted. The concentration required to give protection depends on several factors. These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which microorganisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature and length of time for which protection is required. Bionix® BP25 can be used alone or in combination with other compatible biocides. The use of multiple preservatives provides additional protection against bacterial and fungal spoilage. The most popular combinations are those with 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin- 3-one (CMIT/MIT). Bionix® BP25 is best added after any heating stage or when the product has cooled below 40°C.
