Biological Guard Antifouling
Anti fungal based dispersing cleaner for the control of fouling by marine growth such as algae, shellfish, mussels, barnacles and micro-organisms and fungal growth in the sea water side of coolings systems. Due to its moleculer firm foaming propertie
Application & Uses
It should be preferably be started on a clean system since it is formulated to prevent growth rather than remove existing growth of microorganism < bacteria , fungi , larvae etc.. ( EXISTING GROWTH CAN BE CLEAN BY USING RXSOL-11-1008--DC / RXSOL-54-1008-SA )
The best POINT of feeding is as early as possible in the system , preferably at the suction point of strainer , this will helps dispersion of solution in all parts of the sewater cooling system.
# Effectively control MICROORGANISM GROWTH
# Economical , reduce down time cost , also doesn't require any special monitoring
# Also control biological corrosion
Dosage & Directions for Use
For sea water cooling systems
Dose 150 – 500 ML of RXSOL-40-4003-025 for every 100 tons of sea water flowing through the system per hour. The treatment should be applied daily when the vessel is on coastal waters. Normally the treatment is not required when sailing deep sea .
For ballast tanks
Dose 1 litre of RXSOL-40-4003-025 per 10 tons of water prior to ballasting, followed by a monthly dose of 2 litres per 100 tons.
For Trim Tanks, Oil Rig Sea Legs and Similar Systems
Dose 25 litres of RXSOL-40-4003-025 per 100 tons of water . GENERAL Testing for bacteria can be done with our RXSOL DIP SLIDE METHODS ( Designed to check and see anytime anywhere invisible danger Bacteria / fungus grow from Cooling / Drinking water ) which indicate the extent of the bacteriological contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the main purpose of this biocide antifouling product?
This product is designed to prevent and control microbial growth, biofilm formation, and marine fouling in seawater cooling systems, heat exchangers, and ballast tanks.
2. Can it be used in both open and closed-loop cooling systems?
Yes, it is suitable for both open and closed-loop systems, especially where non-oxidizing, non-foaming biocides are required.
3. How quickly does it act on microbial contamination?
Thanks to Biocide Biological Guard Antifouling, it offers a rapid kill rate — delivering effective results within minutes after application.
4. Is it effective against sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)?
Yes, the formulation is effective against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including SRB, which are common in marine environments.
5. Will it harm marine discharge or violate environmental regulations?
No. RXSOL Biocide Biological Guard Antifouling degrades quickly in natural environments, and the product is formulated to comply with most marine discharge standards when dosed properly.
6. Can it be used with reverse osmosis or membrane systems?
Yes, it can be used with membrane systems — however, dosage and compatibility testing should be done to avoid membrane fouling or degradation.
7. How often should it be dosed?
Dosing frequency depends on system contamination levels and operational conditions. Typically, it is dosed continuously or via periodic shock dosing.
8. Is this product compatible with other water treatment chemicals?
In most cases, yes. However, compatibility testing is recommended when used alongside other oxidizing agents or corrosion inhibitors.
Product Description & Chemical Profile
RXSOL-40-4003-025 (Fouling Preventing Liquid ) is a very effective clear , yellowish green with , anti fungal based dispersing cleaner for the control of fouling by marine growth such as algae, shellfish, mussels, barnacles and micro-organisms and fungal growth in the sea water side of coolings systems. Due to its moleculer firm foaming properties, it also acts as a corrosion inhibitor.
