Alpocid FP1.5M
Biocide
General Information:
Alpocid-FP1.5M (alternative name Pachem-AMIC7) is a concentrated additive providing microbiological safety for fuel products and fuel storage tanks protecting against the development of microbial flora (bacteria, fungi, yeast). With the specially selected solvent formulation, the additive shows an adequate solubility in the oil and water phase, which provides quick and long-lasting biocidal activity. Thanks to its action, Alpocid-FP1.5M prevents the formation of sludge, sediments and other contaminants in fuel systems and tanks usually caused by microbial flora. Alpocid-FP1.5M (Pachem-AMIC7) can also be used effectively for microbial protection of water systems Alpocid-FP1.5M (Pachem-AMIC7) is a homogeneous liquid with yellow color.

Application:
Alpocid-FP1.5M (Pachem-AMIC7) is designed to provide microbiological protection of fuels and bio-fuels: Diesel Fuels, gasolines, heating oils, RME and FAME bioesters, fuel oils and other fuel products, which may cause a risk of contamination by bacteria, fungi, yeasts, during a long-term storage or by contamination by water. Alpocid-FP1.5M effectively protects also water systems against microbiological contamination (such as cooling water, stratal water, industrial processing water) e.g. in heat and power plants, paper factories, oilfields and other chemical plants.
Treat rate:
The shock dose 250-300 ppm (preferably 250 ppm), sanitizing dose 150-200 ppm (preferably 125 ppm), the continuous - prophylactic dose 50-100 ppm.
For better use and storage, the product can be pre-dissolved (eg. 1:10 in fuel, biodiesel, hydrocarbon solvent or water in case of water systems). The dose then be adjusted. The additive can also protect closed water systems in various types of industrial plants.
Packaging:
Alpocid-FP1.5M (Pachem-AMIC7) is offered in bulk, 200-lter barrels or in IBCs. Other types of packaging are also available on request.
