APPLICATION RATE: Mergal BIT20 is an effective preservative for most aqueous applications. 

Mergal®BIT20 is used in aqueous or water-containing products and systems to control growth of bacteria and fungi. 

Use rates are in percentage by weight and refer to the product Mergal®BIT20. 

In order to determine the most cost effective use level for Mergal BIT20 in a given use, field trials are suggested.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS: For protection against bacterial attack, a concentration within the range of 0.02 – 0.35% of this product is almost invariably sufficient. 

The control of mold growth, particularly on paste products of high solids content, may occasionally demand dosages above 0.25%. 

In dilute fluid systems, spoilage is usually controlled with dosages not greater than 0.09%.

The use rate is 0.05 – 0.25% wt/wt in the following products: Adhesives, Building and Construction Compositions, Emulsion Paint and Coatings, Inks, Lattices, Leather Processing Solutions, Metalworking Fluids, Mineral Slurries and Dispersions, Paper Coatings, Pesticide Formulations, Polymer Emulsions, Textile Spin-Finish and Coatings.

Mergal BIT20 is approved for adhesives used in food packaging and food contact paper and paperboard coatings. Use of Mergal BIT20 must not exceed 0.21 mg/in2 (0.0326 mg/cm2) of finished paper and paperboard intended for contact with dry foods and 0.11 mg/in2 (0.0168 mg/cm2 ) of finished paper and paperboard intended for contact with aqueous and fatty foods.

Oil Recovery Systems: Drilling fluids, packer fluids, completion fluids: 

Polysaccharide fluid loss control agents and thickeners such as starch, guar, and xanthan gum at a use rate of 0.05 – 0.15% on fluid weight or 1.5 – 4.5% on the dry polysaccharide weight. 

Subsurface injection waters such as polymer and micellar/polymer waterfloods: Thickeners such as polysaccharides and xanthan gum at a use rate of 0.05 – 0.15% on the solution weight. .
