SANIBROM® 40 Biocide

Applications

SANIBROM 40 Biocide Technical is an EPA-registered manufacturing-use product for formulation/repackaging use as a bactericide, fungicide, algicide, slimicide, and/or molluscicide in commercial and industrial water treatment, and in industrial products that control biofilm deposits. Reformulated or repackaged product must be registered with the EPA. SANIBROM 40 Biocide is an EPA-registered end-use product for use as a bactericide, fungicide, algicide, slimicide and molluscicide in commercial and industrial water treatment. It controls biofilm deposits from pumps, pipework, heat exchangers, and filters associated with industrial water treatment systems. The above end-use products must be used in conjunction with an oxidizer such as sodium hypochlorite or chlorine gas to produce hypobromous acid.

• *These properties are typical but do not constitute a
• specification either in part or as a whole. Specification
• data is available on request from Sales, Customer Service
• or Customer Technical Service.
• COMPATIBILITY Materials of Construction
• This product is compatible with most non-metallic materials of construction such as fiber­
• glass-reinforced plastic (vinyl ester or polyester FRP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated
• polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), high density polyethylene, polypropylene, Viton®, Teflon®, natural
• rubber, chlorobutyl rubber, Hypalon®, HALAR® ECTFE, Tefzel® ETFE, and most high-performance
• PTFE-based gasket materials such as W.L. Gore GORE-TEX® GR, W.L. Gore UPG Style 800, and
• Garlock Gylon® Styles 3504 and 3500.
• Titanium and high-nickel alloys such as Inconel® 625 & 686, and Hastelloy® C-22 & C-276 also
• are suitable materials of construction.
• Incompatible Materials of Construction
• The compatibility of this product with common metals depends on the storage conditions and
• the environment that the material is in. Aluminum, brass, carbon steel, copper, stainless steel
• and other common metals generally are not suitable for use. Carbon steel and copper can result
• in discoloration of the product. Aluminum suffers pitting attack. Dissolved oxygen increases the
• corrosion rate of stainless steel.
• Recommended Materials of Construction for Storage Tanks
• Vinyl Ester FRP such as Ashland Derakane® 411 or 470 is suitable for use, as is bisphenol A fuma­
• rate polyester FRP such as Reichhold Atlac® 6694.
• Recommended Materials of Construction for Piping and Valves
• For piping, an adhesive socket FRP system such as Reinforced Plastics Systems P150 series or
• Smith Fibercast® CL-2030 series is suitable. A flat-faced FRP ball valve such as the Nil-Cor®
• 310 series is a good choice for FRP piping. PP-lined steel also is suitable. For low-pressure lines
• (<5 psig) such as overflows and drain lines, solid PVC or CPVC piping can be used, but should be
• safeguarded from mechanical damage.
• At use concentrations, SANIBROM 40 Biocides are compatible with commonly used materials
• of construction in cooling systems.
