Fuel microbiocides are chemical additives designed to control microbial growth in fuel systems. They prevent contamination by bacteria, fungi, and algae, which can clog filters and degrade fuel quality. These biocides are essential for maintaining fuel stability and system efficiency in storage tanks and engines.

Key specifications and technical properties of Fuel Microbiocides and Fuel Systems:

Size: Typically available in 1-gallon to 55-gallon containers or bulk quantities.

Grade: ASTM D6469, ISO 15380, or MIL-PRF-27601 compliant.

Viscosity: 5-50 cSt at 40°C, depending on formulation.

Buoyancy: Neutral to slight positive buoyancy in fuel.

Material: Synthetic biocides (e.g., isothiazolinones, imidazolines) in hydrocarbon-based carriers.

Dosage: 100-500 ppm (parts per million) by volume.

pH Range: 6.0-9.0 for optimal performance.

Flash Point: >60°C (140°F) for safety in fuel systems.

Solubility: Fully soluble in diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuels.

Operating Temperature: -40°C to 120°C (-40°F to 250°F).

Storage: Stable for 2+ years in sealed containers at ambient temperatures.
