Kathon FP1.5 Microbiocide

Kathon FP 1.5 is a patented high performance antimicrobial agent developed specifically to combat problems of microbial contamination and spoilage in hydrocarbon fuels.

 As reviewed in PBO April 2007.

'significant reduction of up to 10,000 fold after three days' (Bacterial infection killing)

'In the prevention trial Kathon not only prevented microbial growth, but killed inoculated microbes to below detectable limits'. 

Basic details 
The effectiveness of Kathon FP1.5 has been proven over a number of years and it has extensive approvals endorsing its use in a wide range of fuel types. It combines exceptional activity with broad spectrum performance, consequently it is effective at very low use levels against all commonly occurring fuel contaminates (bacteria, fungi and yeast).

Kathon FP1.5 is supplied in 5kg (aprox 5L) bottles and remains effective for approximately 2 to 3 months. Larger quantities can also be supplied, details available on request.

Basic Useage 

Kathon FP1.5 should not be added directly into the fuel tank. It should first be diluted with approximately 5 litres of fuel and then added to achieve an even dilution with the contaminated fuel.
Heavy contamination 
100ml per 300 litres
Moderate contamination 
100ml per 500 litres
Preventative
100ml per 1000 litres

Where possible water and sludge should be removed from the bottom of fuel tanks before and/or 12 hours after dosing Kathon FP1.5 (please see the Separ Fuel Polishing System for more information on this). If this is not feasible, Kathon FP1.5 can still be dosed, but filters should be checked 2 or 3 times in the first week.
