Treating Fungus in Metalworking Fluids

QUESTION: I have a customer that has a fungus issue.  They have administered the initial 2 oz per 10 gal dose & thoroughly cleaned out the machines.   With fresh coolant, what is your recommendation of dosing the tanks and how often?  This was a mild case of fungus…contained to the tanks, not causing any machine failures. 

ANSWER: I am glad to hear that your customer administered the initial dose and cleaner their machines, they have a much better chance of successfully eliminating their fungus problem because they have taken those steps. For follow-up dosing they can use the attached Dosing Schedule, please let them know it is very important to always use a full dose.

 DIRECTIONS FOR TANKSIDE ADDITIONS:

1. Confirm the size of the system at the current operating level and determine the amount of Triadine needed to treat the system, there is a handy chart with the Dosing Schedule.
2. Carefully measure the biocide dose before adding it to the reservoir.
3. To ensure proper mixing, make post treatment additions of Triadine into areas of the metalworking fluid reservoir where there is good circulation.
4. For the biocide to be most effective, the addition should be made after any other required chemical, metalworking fluid concentrate, or make-up water addition.

Your customer should exercise caution when using this product, always consult the MSDS before using any chemical. Avoid contact with eyes and skin and keep away from unnecessary mist, particularly right after adding Triadine to the sump.
