Domains

Ammonium Bromide (Fuzzicide)
Ammonium bromide, better known as Fuzzicide, is ideal for use in paper production processes and for general industrial water treatment requirements. Its biocidal capabilities ensure that a liquid solution with a concentration of 35-38% Ammonium bromide will safely treat water and guarantee biofilm removal. ICL’s Ammonium bromide is also available as a solid-grade product and is a fast, simple, and reliable antimicrobial solution.
Bactebrom
Bactebrom is a sophisticated bromine-based biocide that utilizes a mixture of hydrogen bromide and urea to deliver rapid biofilm treatment for large pipelines. Bactebrom is particularly recommended for pipelines in cooling towers and paper mills. The advanced aqueous solution is suitable for a wide pH range and works as a mild oxidizer – with powerful results. If you’re operating highly loaded systems (COD and organics) and need dependable water treatment, Bactebrom is ideal.


Bromosol
Bromosol is a chlorine-free single-component biocide with an impressive range of industrial applications. It provides water treatment, with biofilm removal, while suppressing microbiological activity (including bacteria, fungi, and algae). Bromosol is also effective at controlling the bacteria responsible for the potentially fatal Legionnaires’ disease. Bromosol is a simple – but high-performance – bromine-based biocide that delivers comprehensive protection. It is also cost-effective and has a long shelf life, making it a popular product for intermittent use.
Biobrom C-103
Biobrom C-103 is effective in so many water treatment applications that it is almost a multi-purpose biocide. It’s one of ICL’s most potent antimicrobial biocides and guarantees a quick kill across an entire range of industrial systems, including cooling water systems and towers, membranes, oil recovery & refining systems, and pulp and paper mill systems. Biobrom C-103 gets the job done fast and gives users genuine peace of mind. The advanced bromine biocide is available in both 100% and 20% concentrations.


Sodium Bromide WT
Sodium bromide WT is a specialty bromine-based biocide that is versatile enough to meet stringent industrial water treatment requirements, as well as regulatory requirements for recreational water treatment and municipal wastewater applications. ICL researchers optimized sodium bromide WT for fast and dependable microbial growth inhibition and removal, without negative impacts on water usage. Sodium bromide WT is available as either a solid or a liquid and delivers excellent water treatment solutions.
