Fuelcare FuelClear M15 Fuel Biocide

FuelClear M15 is effective at low use levels, against microbial species commonly encountered in fuel systems, including bacteria, yeast, and mould. FuelClear M15 is designed to cause inhibition of microbial growth upon contact, and quickly result in cell death. FuelClear M15 is effective in systems containing both fuel and water. Unlike other fuel treatment biocides, the active ingredients in FuelClear M15 are not deactivated by water.

FuelClear M15 contains an active ingredient of 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H) isothiazolone and 2-methyl-3(2H) isothiazolone (C.M.I.T./M.I.T.) in a 3:1 mixture ratio. FuelClear M15 is a solution of the technical grade of the active ingredient, C.M.I.T./M.I.T. in Dipropylene Glycol at a nominal value of 1.5% of active substance. Both active ingredient and tradename (FuelClear M15) have been notified and approved under the E.U. Biocides Products Regulations (B.P.R.).

As water finds its way into fuel storage tanks, often observed as fuel haziness, microorganisms breed, forming slime and emulsion that leads to filter blockage and corrosion of metal tanks. Once transported, the contaminated fuel contains the accumulated bacteria and fungi which cause the blockage of downstream filters, pumps and injectors. FuelClear M15 has been tested and found effective in a wide range of middle distillate hydrocarbon fuels, including diesel fuels, biodiesel blends (up to B50), gas oils, kerosene, heating oils, petrol (gasoline) and fuel emulsions. FuelClear M15 is used in a wide range of industries including marine, automotive, rail, agriculture, power generation and home heating applications.
