- Directions for Use
- It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
- ROCIMATM BT 2S Industrial Microbicide is an effective preservative in most aqueous compositions.
- 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.
- Trials at different concentrations are recommended.
- Typical Applications
Type of Material to be Protected Pounds of ROCIMATM BT 2S Industrial Microbicide Per 1,000 Pounds of Material to be Protected (%)ROCIMA BT 2S based on total weight of product)
Latices such as polymer latices based on monomers such as acrylate, butadiene, PVA or styrene; synthetic rubber/latex. 0.5 - 1.5 lb Oil-in-water emulsions such as textile spin-finish solutions, cutting/rolling oils, soluble oils (metal and engineering industries), and photographic emulsions. Note: limit amount of ROCIMA BT 2S in metalworking fluid concentrate (todiluted before use) to 3.0% to reduce the possibility of dermal sensitization. 0.5 to 1.8 lb Paints and coatings such as aqueous coatings, water-based paints, and emulsion paints 0.5 to 2.5 lb Inks and font solutions 0.5 to 2.5 lb Water-based adhesives, including animal glues, adhesives based on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and derivatives, gelatin and/or latex 0.5 to 2.5 lb Aqueous slurries of pigments such as titanium dioxide or of minerals such kaolin, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, or magnesium sulfate 0.4 to 1.25 lb Building materials such as caulks, sealants, grouts, spackling, ready-mix cement and wallboard compounds, and tape joint compounds Pesticide formulations, including in-can protection and protection of use dilutions 0.8 to 2.5 lb Pesticide formulations, including in-can protection and protection of use dilutions 0.5 to 2.5 lb Oil recovery materials, such as drill muds, packer fluids, and completion fluids, containing polysaccharide fluid loss control agents and/or thickeners such starch, guar, or xanthan gum 0.5 to 1.5 lb of total weight of the fluid, or 15 to 45 lb per 1000 lb of dry polysaccharide
Secondary oil recovery injection water containing additives, such as polymer or micellar/polymer waterfloods using thickeners such as xanthan gum and/ polyacrylamides 0.15 to 1.5 lb of total weight of fluid
Leather processing solutions – to preserve the solutions 0.25 to 2 lb Fresh animal skins and hides – To preserve the integrity of the hides and skins before or during processing. Add the appropriate quantity of ROCIMA BT 2S the brine solution during the curing operation or treat hides or skins with an appropriately diluted aqueous solution during other portions of the processing operation. The specific use rate and contact time needed to control microbial attack will depend on the degree of decomposition of the hides or skins prior to treatment. 1 to 24 pounds (13 fluid ounces to 2.5 gallons) of ROCIMA BT 2S per 1000 pounds of hides or skins
Paper coatings to be used in papermaking, including rosin dispersions, starch and casein based products 0.25 to 2 lb - Typical Applications
- Pulp & paper mill system slime control – The preferred method of addition is by shock dosing because this ensures that a high concentration of ROCIMATM BT 2S Industrial Microbicide is present in the system for several hours.
- If a slime control agent is added by continuous methods over periods of several hours, its concentration in the system at all times is low.
- This can lead to the development of resistant organisms, which is less likely to occur when the shock dosing method is used.
- It is not possible to give precise recommendations as to the quantity of ROCIMA BT 2S to add to control slime formation, because the magnitude of the problem varies greatly from mill to mill, depending on the furnish employed, the cleanliness of the mill system, and the additional nutrients (for example, starch) that may be added to the stock.
The following quantities of ROCIMA BT 2S are suggested for trial:
• Shock dosing: If this method is adopted, add 2.5 to 9 ounces of ROCIMA BT 2S for each ton of paper produced per day as a single shock dose, the actual quantity to be used depending on the severity of the slime problem. This addition may be made to any part of the stock preparation or backwater system. Alternatively, the addition may be made to those parts of the system where it is known that slime deposits accumulate.
• Continuous addition: If this method is adopted, add ROCIMA BT 2S continuously for either the single period of 8 hours during every 24 hours or for two separate periods of 4 hours during every 24 hours. Meter ROCIMA BT 2S into the recirculated backwater at a rate of 7 to 8.5 ounces for each ton of paper produced during the dosing period.
