Product description

KATHON™ FP 1.5 contains a 3:1 ratio mixture of 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H)isothiazolone and 2-methyl-3(2H)isothiazolone (CAS N°55965-84-9), (abbreviated name CMIT/MIT). KATHON FP 1.5 is a solution of the technical grade of the active ingredient, CMIT/MIT, in dipropylene glycol at a nominal value of 1.5% of active substance. This biocidal substance has been notified under the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD; notification # 408) and is registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).

KATHON FP 1.5 is effective at low use levels, against microbial species commonly encountered in fuel systems, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. KATHON FP 1.5 is designed to cause inhibition of microbial growth upon contact, and quickly result in cell death. The exact time to kill all microbes in a fuel will vary, but will typically be between 6 and 36 hours.

KATHON FP 1.5 is effective in systems containing both fuel and water. Unlike other fuel treatment biocides, the active ingredients in KATHON FP 1.5 are not deactivated by water.
