ACTICIDE MBS
ACTICIDE® MBS is a novel AOX and VOC free biocide specifically developed for the wet-state protection of water based formaldehyde sensitive products.
Addition / Compatibility
ACTICIDE® MBS can be added at any time during production. However, it is advised to add it as early as possible to give protection throughout the production process. Care should be taken to ensure that temperature, pH and redox potential at the point of addition are suitable for stability of the product. ACTICIDE® MBS is compatible with most formulations in which its application is recommended and it may be used in formaldehyde sensitive systems. Nevertheless, users are advised to carry out their own tests or seek further advice from Thor prior to initial application.
Applications / Use Levels
ACTICIDE® MBS is suitable for the wet-state preservation of a wide range of aqueous products including paints, polymer emulsions, adhesives, ceramic glazes, fillers and sealants. ACTICIDE® MBS is particularly effective in products having an alkaline pH and for the preparation of ecologically acceptable formulations. Normal use concentrations are in the range 0.20 - 0.40%, depending on the product to be protected and the environmental conditions to which it will be exposed. The precise level required by a specific formulation can be determined by the local Thor Microbiological Technical Centre.
Storage
Store in the original containers and protect from extremes of temperature. ACTICIDE® MBS is frost sensitive. At temperatures below 1°C BIT and BIT sodium salt may crystallise. However, after warming to a maximum temperature of 50°C any crystals formed will redissolve and the product can be used with no impairment of activity.
Coolant Management
For advice on the maintenance of metalworking fluids please request a copy of FUCHS "Coolant Management Guide" from the Marketing department.
Component Protection
Following manufacturing operations Fuchs recommends the use of our fully compatible RENOCLEAN cleaners and ANTICORIT corrosion preventives to clean and protect your components. Please refer to data sheets, or contact your local Fuchs Area Manager to discuss your requirements.
