KATHON WT microbicides offer numerous outstanding advantages:
Rapid inhibition of growth and macromolecular synthesis:
KATHON WT causes immediate inhibition of growth on coming in contact with a microorganism. The growth
inhibition rapidly becomes irreversible and results in cell death. Even before death occurs, the KATHON treated
organism is unable to synthesize degradative enzymes or the exopolymers which facilitate adhesion and biofilm
formation.
Broad spectrum activity:
KATHON WT controls the wide variety of algae, bacteria and fungi found in industrial water systems. Such a broad
spectrum product reduces inventory and handling costs, lowers operator training expenses and lessens the risk of
dosing error.
Effective at low concentrations:
Effective control of such a wide variety of microorganisms at levels as low as 1 ppm active ingredient by KATHON
WT, provides an unrivalled and cost-effective treatment.
Effective against biofilm:
KATHON WT readily penetrates the surface of adhering biofilm to give effective control of sessile microorganisms.
Biodegradable/non-persistent in the environment:
When diluted below use concentrations, KATHON WT, WTA and WTE are readily biodegradable. Their
decomposition does not lead to the presence of chlorinated organics in the environment.
Effective over a wide pH range:
KATHON WT microbicide exhibits excellent performance over a broad pH range, even in alkaline water systems.
Water soluble:
KATHON WT is easily incorporated into formulations.
