Product Technical Details

Product Overview

1,4-Bis(bromoethylketoneoxy)-2-butene is a high-performance non-oxidizing industrial fungicide designed for rigorous microbial control in complex water systems. This specialized chemical agent is engineered to prevent the growth and reproduction of bacteria and algae across various industrial applications, including papermaking, industrial circulating cooling water, membrane filtration systems, and metal processing lubricants. Its unique chemical structure allows for effective penetration into microbial cell membranes, disrupting essential protein groups and halting normal cellular redox processes.

As a leading solution for slime control, this product offers a robust alternative to traditional oxidizing biocides. It functions by selectively brominating or oxidizing specific enzyme metabolites within microorganisms, leading to rapid cell death without generating harmful byproducts associated with chlorine-based treatments. This mechanism ensures long-term efficacy while maintaining compatibility with sensitive industrial equipment and filtration membranes.

Key Features and Advantages

  • Powerful bactericidal effect as a non-oxidizing fungicide suitable for diverse environments.
  • Excellent peeling performance on slime formed by bacterial colonies, ensuring clean system surfaces.
  • Fully compatible with all types of industrial membranes used in filtration and separation processes.
  • Low risk of membrane penetration into product water, minimizing contamination risks.
  • Reduced potential for microbial resistance development compared to conventional biocides.
  • Effective across a wide pH range, providing flexibility in varying water chemistry conditions.
  • Good biodegradability profile, ensuring minimal environmental impact after usage.
  • Liquid formulation that is miscible with water in any ratio for easy dosing and integration.

Industrial Applications

This product is widely utilized in pulp and circulating cooling water systems within paper mills, where microbial growth can severely impact efficiency and product quality. It is also effective in membrane systems, preventing biofouling that leads to increased pressure drops and reduced flux rates. In metal processing, it serves as a preservative for lubricating oils, extending fluid life and protecting machinery. Additionally, it is applied in paint, plywood, and wood preservation to prevent decay and microbial degradation during storage and transport.

Storage and Handling

To maintain product stability and safety, store this chemical in a dry and ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to avoid moisture absorption. Ensure storage areas are equipped with appropriate fire safety measures and spill containment systems. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions and personal protective equipment requirements. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every batch to guarantee purity and compliance with international quality standards.
