Product Application

Bionix® MBS2525 can be dosed directly either by open pouring or by metered pump. 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® MBS2525 is best added after any heating stage or when the product has cooled below 40°C.
General Preservative
