Purpose

BDS® PM-6950 is a high performance industrial microbiocide for use in recirculating water, cooling towers, wood, mold and mildew control, pulp and paper mills, oil field injection waters and air washer systems.

BDS® PM-6950 has extremely broad spectrum activity, controlling bacteria, fungi and yeasts without affecting product physical properties. Very low use levels make BDS® PM-6950 one of the most cost effective solutions on the market.

BDS® PM-6950 is very effective in controlling the typical bacteria and fungi, but also offers compatibility with papermaking chemicals and equipment, and convenient handling properties.

Chemical Composition

BDS® PM-6950 is comprised of two primary active compounds, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3- one and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, in a dilute aqueous solution that permit, easy and safe handling.

  • Active Ingredients 
  • 5-Chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one 
  • 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one 

Relationship between active ingredients 3:1

Advantages 

  • Compatibility

BDS® PM-6950 Isothiazolinones are generally compatible with most components of industrial formulations.

  • Biocidal Performance

BDS® PM-6950 isothiazolinone is a highly cost effective biocide preservative due to the low use levels required.

  • Rapid inhibition of macromolecular synthesis (proteins, RNA, etc.)
  • Synergistic with halogen, not pH sensitive
  • Minimize environmental concerns
  • Meets FDA requirements

BDS® PM-6950 meets the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a slimicide in the manufacture of paper and paperboard, intended to contact food (21 CFR 175.500 and 175.320 )

Application

  • Recommended method of addition

You can feed BDS® PM-6950 with a metering pump at any point where uniform mixing can be attained. Use corrosion resistant equipment.

BDS® PM-6652 can be added continuously or periodically, with adjustments in the intervals between additions and dose levels dependent on visual inspections, microbiological analyses, and/or experienced observations of a water treatment representative.

  • Treatment levels

For the control of bacterial, fungal, and yeast growth in pulp, paper, and paperboard mills, add BDS® PM-6950 at the rates of 50 to 250 gr / tn of dry paper.

Typical Properties

  • Appearance Clear Liquid
  • pH 1.5 - 3.5
  • Odor Mild

 

Safety

Avoid breathing vapours. Wear suitable protective gloves and safety goggles. In case of contact immediately flush with water. After eye contact seek medical advice.

Small spills can be flushed with water. Large spills should be collected for disposal.

Read carefully the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use.
