Uses

• Some examples of Uses are
• Pre-treatment bath pH adjustment
• After-treatment bath pH adjustment
• Waste stream pH adjustment
• Bleach neutralization (souring)
• Metals Manufacturing
• Substitution for most Industrial mineral Acids
• Many more......

11
Environmental

• Ultra Biocid does not contain any chemicals
  currently on the EPAs Extremely Hazardous
  Substance List or the Toxic Chemicals List, Sara
  Title III section 302 or 313.
• It is EPA Section 304,311 and 312 regulated
  because the pH is less than 2.0.

12
Storage

• Ultra Biocid can be stored in 316 stainless
  steel, high density polyethylene or polypropylene
  containers.
• UCI International Inc. has been using the same
  tanker (316 stainless) and pipelines for over 7
  years with Ultra Biocid and have had NO corrosion
  problems.

13
Shipping

• Ultra Biocid is NOT regulated by any of the
  following Transportation agencies
• D.O.T.
• I.A.T.A.
• I.M.D.G.
• T.D.G
• For Air Transportation D.O.T. Regulates as
  ORM-B, NOS NA1760

14
Conclusion

• Ultra Biocid s pH adjustment chemistry can
  provide a cost effective alternative to
  traditional organic and mineral acids. While
  improving overall safety of the workplace,
  employees and the environment.

ULTRA BIOCID-GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

• SAFETY
• 1- VERY SAFE PRODUCT WHICH HAS NO ODOR, FUMES OR
  VAPOR PRESSURE
• 2- NO AFFINITY FOR HUMAN FLESH- WILL CAUSE NO
  BURNS OR BLISTERING- SEE DERMAL IRRITATION TESTS
• 3- EASY STORAGE REQUIRES NO SPECIAL HANDLING OR
  CONTAINERS
• 4- NO FUMES MEANS NO CORROSION WHEN USED AT
  AMBIENT TEMPERATURES- SEE METAL CORROSION TESTS
• 5- NO MUTAGENICITY- SEE AMES ASSAY
• 6- NON TOXIC-LD-50 1121 mg/kg(RATS, ORAL)
• 7- NO HEAT LIBERATION UPON DILUTION

16
ULTRA BIOCID- GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

• ENVIRONMENTAL
• 1- VERY LOW BOD/COD- MUCH LOWER THAN ACETIC AND
  CITRIC ACID
• 2- CONTAINS NO PHOSPHATES, CHLORIDES, ETC.
• 3- NOT KNOWN TO INCREASE WASTEWATER DISCHARGE
  LIMITS

17
ULTRA BIOCID- GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

• ECONOMY
• 1- COMPETITIVE AGAINST MOST COMMONLY USED ACIDS
• 2- NEW US PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

18
NEUTRALIZATION OF CAUSTIC TREATED DENIM

• DENIM FABRIC SUBJECTED TO HIGH AMOUNTS OF CAUSTIC
  (NaOH 50) WILL EXHIBIT FACE AND BATH pHs OF
  APPROXIMATELY 12.0 13.0
• AS THESE GOODS ARE PROCESSED ON A CONTINUOUS WASH
  RANGE, A WIDE ARRAY OF pH RANGES MAY BE ADJUSTED
  USING ULTRA BIOCID

19
NEUTRALIZATION OF CAUSTIC TREATED DENIM

• PROCEDURE
• INTO THE FIRST OR SECOND WASH BOX A CONTINUOUS
  FEED OF ULTRA BIOCID IS INTRODUCED PLUS WASH
  WATER WHICH IS ALLOWED TO OVERFLOW. THE AMOUNT OF
  ULTRA BIOCID ADDED IS DETERMINED BY THE DESIRED
  FABRIC FINISH pH REQUIRED, THE MACHINE SPEED AND
  TO A LESSER DEGREE THE FABRIC WEIGHT.
• AS AN EXAMPLE, MOST DENIM WILL REQUIRE AN ULTRA
  BIOCID ADJUSTED BATH pH OF APPROXIMATELY 1.5
  2.0 _at_ A MACHINE SPEED OF 60 80 YPM

20
NEUTRALIZATION OF CAUSTIC TREATED DENIM

• PROCEDURE CONTINUED
• UNDER THESE OPERATING CONDITIONS, EXIT FABRIC
  FACE pHS WILL EQUAL APPROXIMATELY 8.0 9.5
• IN-PLANT ADJUSTMENTS OF THE ULTRA BIOCID FLOW
  RATE WILL ALLOW THE WASHER OPERATOR TO ACHIEVE
  ANY pH RANGE DESIRED
• BECAUSE ULTRA BIOCID HAS NO VAPOR PRESSURE,
  EXTREMELY STEADY AND LEVEL pH RANGES ARE POSSIBLE
  WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER ACID SOURCES

21
NEUTRALIZATION OF CAUSTIC TREATED DENIM

• MAINTENANCE
• IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT ALL PROCESS
  EQUIPMENT BE CLEANED AND RINSED FREE OF ANY
  RESIDUAL ULTRA BIOCID AFTER PROCESS IS COMPLETE
  SO AS NOT TO ALLOW DRIED SALTS TO REMAIN ON
  EQUIPMENT.
• IF DRIED SALTS ARE EXPOSED TO HIGH TEMPERATURES
  OVER A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF TIME, THE POSSIBILITY
  OF CORROSION MAY OCCUR. SIMPLE CLEANING WITH
  WATER WILL ELIMINATE THIS POSSIBLE CONDITION
  SINCE THESE ACID SALTS WILL READILY DISSOLVE.

22
LABORATORY TESTING
23
BIOCID TESTING

• DUE TO ULTRA BIOCIDS UNIQUE CHEMISTRY, SOME
  MINOR DIFFERENCES MAY BE NOTED DURING LAB
  EVALUATIONS
• AS COMPARED TO ACETIC ACID, FOR EXAMPLE, ULTRA
  BIOCIDS BUFFER POINT IS APPROXIMATELY 2.0 AND
  ACETIC ACID IS APPROXIMATELY 3.8
• BECAUSE OF THE BUFFER DIFFERENCES, CUSTOMERS
  USUALLY ATTEMPT TO ADJUST ULTRA BIOCID BY
  ADDITIONAL STRENGTH CUTS WHICH WILL LEAD TO
  INCONSISTENT pH READINGS AND ERRONOUS RESULTS

24
BIOCID TESTING- CONTINUED

• WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE AMOUNTS OF ULTRA
  BIOCID RECOMMENDED BE FOLLOWED IN ALL CASES AS IT
  WILL SAVE VALUABLE LAB TIME AND MINIMIZE MISTAKES
• BIOCIDS LOWER BUFFER POINT WILL REACH
  EQUILIBRIUM VERY QUICKLY AS IT DISASSOCIATES
  WHICH WILL EQUATE THE ACID BEING TESTED
• SEE CHART AND GRAPHS FOR ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE
• ULTRA BIOCID IS EASILY BLENDED WITH WATER TO THE
  REQUIRED pH STRENGTHS WITH INCREDIBLE SAFETY AND
  EASE OF HANDLING

25
BIOCID DYEBATH pH ADJUSTMENTS
26
BIOCID DYEBATH pH ADJUSTMENTS

• BIOCID WILL READILY AND SAFELY ADJUST DYEBATH pH
  RANGES
• BIOCID MAY BE USED ON ANY DYEING EQUIPMENT AND
  FOR ANY FIBER AND FIBER BLENDS
• EXAMPLES OF DYE EQUIPMENT INCLUDE JETS, PACKAGE
  MACHINES, BECKS, BEAMS, HOSIERY MACHINES OF ALL
  TYPES, CONTINUOUS DYE RANGES, ETC.
• BIOCID EXHIBITS NO UNUSUAL SPECTRA SHIFTS WHEN
  USED AS RECOMMENDED NO DIFFERENCES IN DYE
  YIELDS NOTED.
• SEE CHARTS FOR STRENGTH COMPARISONS OF VARIOUS
  ACIDS

BIOCIDS USE IN WASTEWATER
31
BIOCIDS USE IN WASTEWATER

• ULTRA BIOCID IS WIDELY USED TO TREAT PLANT AND
  MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER WHEN pH ADJUSTMENTS ARE
  REQUIRED
• BECAUSE ULTRA BIOCID HAS VERY LOW BOD/COD
  REQUIREMENTS, AND CONTAINS NO PHOSPHATES, MANY
  CUSTOMERS USE BIOCID TO ASSIST IN THEIR
  WASTEWATER TREATMENT
• BIOCID WILL REPLACE SULFURIC ACID AND ALSO CARBON
  DIOXIDE GAS
• BIOCID IS NORMALLY ADDED AT THE LAST WASTEWATER
  DISCHARGE EXIT TO CONTROL pH AND BOD/COD
