** FuelClear AV15 is an aviation-only biocide intended to replace Kathon FP 1.5 and is currently under review **

Overview

FuelClear AV15 Fuel Biocide is a high-performance antimicrobial agent (microbicide) from Fuelcare, developed specially to combat the problems of microbial contamination and spoilage in aviation fuels.

FuelClear AV15 is effective at low use levels, against microbial species commonly encountered in fuel systems, including bacteria, yeast, and mold. FuelClear AV15 is designed to cause inhibition of microbial growth upon contact, and quickly result in cell death. FuelClear AV15 is effective in systems containing both fuel and water. Unlike other fuel treatment biocides, the active ingredients in FuelClear AV15 are not deactivated by water.

FuelClear AV15 contains an active ingredient of 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H) isothiazolone and 2-methyl-3(2H) isothiazolone (C.M.I.T./M.I.T.) in a 3:1 mixture ratio. FuelClear MB15 is a solution of the technical grade of the active ingredient, C.M.I.T./M.I.T. in Dipropylene Glycol at a nominal value of 1.5% of active substance.

Features and Benefits

Treatment with FuelClear AV15 will kill off bacterial and fungal contamination and assist the breakdown of slimes and coagulated biological sludges. This will help to prevent filters from blinding, and allow clean fuel to flow normally.

An extra advantage is the elimination of the often deep emulsion layer at the fuel/water interface which will facilitate water removal by draining or by the fuel line separator. It is this emulsion that is often the critical problem when it enters the fuel line after fuel contents of a tank are disturbed or shaken.

Fuel treated with FuelClear AV15 will remain protected from contamination over extended periods of time. It will also resist contamination if re-inoculated from other sources.
