Product Application

Bionix® DB20 can be dosed directly either by open pouring (not recommended for cooling water treatment) or by metered pump either intermittently or on a continuous basis. Bionix® DB20 is best added after any heating stage or when the product has cooled below 40°C. This product is not registered for the use in the State of California.


Water treatment
• Air washers and industrial /recirculating cooling water, publicly-owned treatment works to control coliform and otherbacteria, brewery pasteurizer water, non-potable reverse osmosis systems.


Paper mills
• Pulp, paper mills and paper mills process water systems. Typical addition points are the beaters, jordan inlet ordiskharge, broke chests, furnish chests, savealls and/or white-water tanks.


General preservative
• This product is used to reduce contamination in raw materials and/or products such as: aqueous paints and coatings, polymers, slurries, adhesives, latex and resin emulsions, metalworking fluids, sizing, caulk, process water, along with specialty industrial products including: inks, polishes, waxs, detergents and cleansers.


Equipment cleaning

• This product kills microorganisms present in solution or growing on the surfaces of process equipment such as reaction vessels, storage tanks and containers, piping and hoses.


Oil/gas production
• Oilfield and petrochemical systems, enhanced oil recovery systems and fracturing fluids.

Storage & Handling

Storage Information

• Product must be stored in closed, but vented, containers in an area with good general ventilation and out of direct sunlight to prevent build up of vapors over time. Product must not be stored at temperatures greater than 35°C. Avoid adiabatic conditions in pumps which have caused accidents; CO₂ evolution and pressure release. Aqueous solutions in plastic containers should not be left in direct sunlight.
• Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling Bionix® DB20. While the selection of PPE depends on the task to be performed, the environment and the engineering controls in place, the following is the minimum PPE to be worn when handling containers of the product: splash proof chemical goggles, chemical resistant gloves which extend about the wrist, long sleeve shirt and long pants, socks and chemical resistant footwear.
