Q1: What is the primary active ingredient in Lonza Benzocil 20 Fungicide?
A: Lonza Benzocil 20 Fungicide is a broad-spectrum biocide based on benzalkonium chloride (BAC), formulated as a 20% active solution in water. It is designed for effective control of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and algae in industrial water systems and process streams.
Q2: In which types of industrial systems is Lonza Benzocil 20 typically applied?
A: It is commonly used in recirculating cooling water systems, paper mill white water systems, metalworking fluids, and other non-potable industrial water applications where microbial growth poses operational or quality risks. Its compatibility with common system chemistries supports stable performance under varying pH and temperature conditions.
Q3: How should Lonza Benzocil 20 be dosed for optimal efficacy?
A: Dosage depends on system characteristics such as microbial load, water chemistry, and retention time. It is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the treated stream—and is often applied continuously or intermittently based on monitoring results and treatment objectives.
Q4: Is Lonza Benzocil 20 compatible with common corrosion inhibitors and scale preventatives?
A: Yes, Lonza Benzocil 20 demonstrates good compatibility with many conventional corrosion inhibitors (e.g., phosphonates, azoles) and scale inhibitors (e.g., polyacrylates, phosphinocarboxylates) when used within recommended dosage ranges. Compatibility testing under site-specific conditions is advised prior to full-scale implementation.
