Product Application

Bionix® ISO2A can be dosed directly either by open pouring (not approved for cooling water treatment) or by metered pump either intermittently or on a continuous basis. Bionix® ISO2A is best added after any heating stage or when the product has cooled below 40°C. Care should be taken to ensure that the temperature and pH at the point of addition are suitable for the stability of the product.


Water treatment
• Air washers and industrial /recirculating cooling water towers, industrial recirculating closed loop water cooling systems, ultra filtration units and non-medical/no-potable reverse osmosis systems, brewery pasteurizers and can warmers.


Paper mills
• Paper mill slimicide. Typical addition points are the beaters, hydropulper or fan or broke storage pumps.


General preservative
• Paints and coating preservation, such as paper and wood coatings and paints used for architectural product finishes and special-purpose coatings, adhesive and tackifier preservation such as animal glues, vegetable glues, natural rubber, latices, polyvinyl acetate, stirene butadiene and acrylic latices, polymer latex preservation, including acrylic, stirene/butadiene, carboxylated styrene/butadiene, ethylene-vinyl acetate, biopolymers, zanthan gum, gum arabic, guar gum, protein-derived polymers, starches, casein derived polymers latices and solutions polymers, photoplate processing, fountain solutions and ink/ink components.


Oil/gas production
• Oilfield injection waters, enhanced recovery injection fluids, drilling, fracturing and completions fluids.
