• Cost effective;
• Proven efficacy against a broad range of bacteria and fungi at recommended use levels;
• Extends life of metalworking fluids;
• Easy to use liquid, at 0.15% (1500ppm) concentration in end-use dilution;
• For use in individual sumps as well as large central systems;

Efficacy

SMARTCIDE MBM has shown excellent efficacy against:

Bacillus subtilis; Proteus vulgaris; Desulfovibrio desulfuricans;
Klebsiella pneumoniae; Enterobacter aerogenes; Staphylococcus aureus;
Escherichia coli; Streptococcus faecalis; Proteus vulgaris.

Use level

SMARTCIDE MBM at appropriate use levels in both laboratory and field evaluations, inhibits microbial growth. Products protected with SMARTCIDE MBM can generally resist long-term, repeated challenge of microorganisms. Depending on the levels of protection required,SMARTCIDE MBM should be added to the metalworking fluid concentrates at levels of 2-5%, to provide 1,000 - 2,000 ppm in the final dilutions of the metalworking fluids. In order to evaluate the correct use levels, it is important to carry out laboratory tests.
