Isothiazolinone-Based Biocide (14% active concentrate) from Innova Corporate is a powerful, non-oxidizing antimicrobial for Ahmedabad's industrial water treatment, especially for cooling towers, air washers, and storage tanks. It is highly effective against pseudomonas, legionella, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and algae. For Ahmedabad's hotel HVAC cooling towers (which often have intermittent operation and variable water quality), a shock dose of 25-50 ppm weekly keeps microbial counts low even during the humid monsoon (July-September). For textile sizing and desizing baths (which contain starch, PVA, and other organic sizes), isothiazolinone prevents bacterial degradation of sizes, extending bath life from 2 days to 7 days, reducing waste and chemical costs. For tannery finishing units (small cluster), it controls bacterial attack on hides. The product works by inhibiting key enzymes (specifically, it reacts with thiol (-SH) groups in enzymes, disrupting the Krebs cycle). It is EPA registered and REACH compliant. For Ahmedabad's paper mills (small-scale), it controls slime in white water loops. Important: it is incompatible with reducing agents like sulfite (oxygen scavenger) – do not feed simultaneously. It also has temperature stability up to 50°C; at higher temperatures (e.g., in boiler feed or hot water systems), it degrades faster. For Ahmedabad's summer (45°C), we recommend increasing dosage by 20% or switching to a more temperature-stable biocide like glutaraldehyde for shock doses. The product is available as a green-yellow liquid. Pack sizes: 25L, 200L drums. We also provide isothiazolinone test kits (Hach method) for residual monitoring. For closed loops with long retention time (e.g., chilled water systems), isothiazolinone is ideal due to its persistence (half-life 1-2 weeks). For food contact applications, we have a lower concentration (1.5%) version with FDA approval (for indirect food contact). For alternative to chlorine, this biocide does not produce trihalomethanes (THMs) – important for environmental compliance near Sabarmati riverfront.
NNOVA PA 902 is suitable for the wet-state preservation of a wide range of aqueous products including paints, polymer emulsions, adhesives, ceramic glazes, fillers and sealants and as a tank-side additive for ready-diluted metalworking fluids.
Normal use concentrations are in the range 0.05 to 0.4%, depending on the product to be protected and the environmental conditions to which it will exposed. The local Kimberlite technical centre can assist in determining the precise conc. required for specific applications.
Addition / Compatibility: INNOVA PA 902 can be added at any time during manufacturing. However, it is advised to add it as early as Possible to give protection throughout the production process. Care should be take to ensure that temperature, pH and redox potential at the point of addition are suitable o the product.
INNOVA PA 902 is compatible with most formulations in which its application is recommended and it may be used in formaldehyde sensitive systems. Reducing agents, amines and other strong nucleophiles can cause degradation of the active ingredients.
Packaging: 25Kgs & 200kgs plastic drums.
Shelf Life: 18 months from the date of manufacturing.
Storage:: Protect from extreme temperatures.
