Biocide LXE 100 is an active ingredient preparation of chloromethylisothiazolinone/ methylisothiazolinone to preserve paints, binder dispersions and other technical products. Biocide LXE 100 contains active substances permitted by the FDA for use in their application field, provided that the customary dosage rates are not exceeded. It may be employed in products to be used in close proximity to food, but not in immediate contact.
BIOCIDE LXE 100 is a wet state preservative with a very wide application field such as paints, plasters, adhesives, inks, dispersion and emulsion binders and aqueous technical products in general. It can be used alone or in combination with other active ingredients such as methylisothiazolone or formaldehyde donors.
BIOCIDE LXE 100 is a proven slimicide in paper manufacturing. BIOCIDE LXE 100 contains neither formaldehyde nor cationic or phenolic substances. Therefore, it is particularly suited for use in products not compatible with these substances. BIOCIDE LXE 100 has a broad spectrum of activity. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as against mould and yeast.
The number of technical products being preserved with BIOCIDE LXE 100 is increasing steadily and it is not always possible to predict its suitability. The optimum use should be established by a preliminary experiment. In critical cases, predilution with water is often helpful. The optimum dosage rate of BIOCIDE LXE 100 depends upon the degree of contamination and the susceptibility of the product to be preserved. Occasionally, the degree of contamination exhibits seasonal fluctuation, so that a periodical determination of germ counts can assist in choosing the optimum dosage rate. Therefore, the ranges of concentrations listed below should be taken as general guidelines only.
Occasionally, the degree of contamination exhibits seasonal fluctuation, so that a periodical determination of germ counts can assist in choosing the optimum dosage rate. Therefore, the ranges of concentrations listed below should be taken as general guidelines only:
Binders :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::0.05 - 0.3%
Other products ::::::::::::::::::::: 0.05 - 0.15%
In the case of special application, please consult with your local sales representative.
Storage, Handling and Disposal
In general, avoid eye and skin contact, wear safety goggles, gloves and protective clothing. In case of eye or skin contact despite precautionary measures, wash immediately and thoroughly with plenty of warm water and obtain medical attention. The legal requirements prevailing in your country, especially on working hygiene and in the avoidance of accidents, must be observed. BIOCIDE LXE 100 should be stored in closed original containers in a cool place, but not below 0°C. At temperatures below 0°C solidification of the product may occur. If the product does freeze, allow it to return to room temperature and it will turn liquid again. Bioactivity is unaffected by freezing and melting.

| Methods and material for containment and cleaning up | WARNING: KEEP SPILLS AND CLEAN-UP RESIDUALS OUTOF MUNICIPAL SEWERS AND OPEN BODIES OF WATER. Adsorb the spill with spill pillows or inert solids such as clay or vermiculite, and transfer contaminated materials to suitable containers for disposal. Deactivate spill area with freshly prepared solution of 5% sodium bicarbonate and 5% sodium hypochlorite in water. Apply solution to the spill area at a ratio of 10 volumes deactivation solution per estimated volume of residual spill to deac tivate any residual active ingredient. Let stand for 30 minutes. Flush the spill area with copious amounts of water to chemical sewer (if in accordance with local procedures, permits and regulations). DO NOT add deactivation solution to the waste pail to deactivate the adsorbed material. See Section 13, "Disposal Considerations", for information regarding the disposal of contained materials. |
| Precautions for safe handling | This material is corrosive. For personal protection see section 8. Do not handle material near food, feed or drinking water. |
| Conditions for safe storage |
Keep in a well-ventilated place. The product as supplied may evolve gas (largely carbon dioxide) slowly. To prevent the buildup of pressure the product is packaged in specially vented containers, where necessary. Keep this product in the original container when not in use. Container must be stored and transported in an upright position to prevent spilling the contents through the vent, where fitted. Do not store this material in containers made of the following: steel Do not store this material near food, feed or drinking water. CONTAINERS MAY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN EMPTY. Since emptied containers retain product residue follow all MSDS and label warnings even after container is emptied. Expiration date based only on retention of >95% actives during storage at 20ºC-25ºC (68ºF-77ºF).

Exposure controls
| Engineering controls | Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 150 ft/min. (0.75 m/sec.) at the point of dust or mist evolution. Refer to the current edition of "Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice" published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use, and maintenance of exhaust systems. |
| Protective measures | Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. |
Individual protection measures
| Eye/face protection | Use chemical splash goggles and face shield (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent). Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed. |
| Skin protection | |
| Hand protection | Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn whenever this material is handled. The glove(s) listed below may provide protection against permeation. (Gloves of other chemically resistant materials may not provide adequate protection): butyl-rubber Nitrile rubber PVC gloves >1 mm thickness Gloves should be removed and replaced immediately if there is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough. Rinse and remove gloves immediately after use. Wash hands with soap and water. NOTE: Material is a possible skin sensitizer. |
| Other protection | Wear as appropriate: Chemical resistant apron complete suit protecting against chemicals |
| Respiratory protection | Typical use of this material does not result in workplace exposures that exceed the exposure limits listed in the Exposure Limit Information Section. For those special workplace conditions where the listed exposure limits are exceeded, a respiratory protection program meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed. For concentrations up to 10 times the exposure limit, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask or full facepiece air purifying respirator equipped with organic vapor cartridges and N95 filters. If oil mist is present, use R95 or P95 filters. For those unlikely situations where exposure may greatly exceed the listed exposure limits (i.e. greater than 10- fold), or in any emergency situation, wear a properly fitted NIOSH approved (or equivalent) self-contained breathing apparatus in the pressure demand mode or a full facepiece airline respirator in the pressure demand mode with emergency escape provision. See SECTION 6, Accidental Release Measures, for respirator and protective clothing requirements for spill clean-up and decontamination of this material. |
