Soluble, synthetic, and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids or coolants provide an excellent environment for the growth of various microorganisms, including bacteria, mold, and yeast. If allowed to grow, these organisms can have detrimental effects on the fluids. For example, bacteria, which can grow very quickly, can destroy the integrity of the fluid by discoloration, destroying lubricity characteristics, and causing emulsions to split. Bacteria can also reduce the pH of the fluid, which can promote corrosion. Some forms of bacteria have objectionable odors. Fungi typically grow more slowly than bacteria, but can form large masses which clog filters and lines and in some cases lead to system shutdown; fungi also generate foul odors and can cause corrosion. The increased use of synthetic fluids over the past few years has led to an even greater need for the enhanced fungal control that OIT 99% broad-spectrum fungicida can provide.For Tankside and Concentrate
OIT 99% biocide is a broad-spectrum fungicida that has been recommended and widely used for tankside control of fungi in metalworking central systems. OIT 99% broad-spectrum biocide is also an effective fungicide for use in many metalworking fluid concentrates with the appropriate stabilizer package. Due to the wide variations in metalworking fluid formulations, laboratory or small-scale tests are recommended to evaluate OIT 99% biocide in use- dilution and concentrate metalworking fluids before they are commercialized. OIT 99% broad-spectrum biocide is a highly effective, industrial fungicide that exhibits excellent fungistatic and fungicidal activity against fungi, including yeasts and mold, and Gram-Positive bacteria, and limited activity against Gram-Negative bacteria. Commonly known as octhilinone, 2-N-octil-4-isotiazolin-3-ona is the active ingredient of Octilisotiazolinona 99% biocide It is supplied as a 99 percent active liquid in glycol.Typical Properties
