KATHON 893
KATHON 893 MW Biocide Metalworking Fluid Fungicide for Water-Based Cutting Fluids
Soluble, synthetic, and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids or coolants provide an excellent environment for the growth of various microorganisms, including bacteria, mold, and yeast.
If allowed to grow, these organisms can have detrimental effects on the fluids.
For example, bacteria, which can grow very quickly, can destroy the integrity of the fluid by discoloration, destroying lubricity characteristics, and causing emulsions to split.
Bacteria can also reduce the pH of the fluid, which can promote corrosion.
Some forms of bacteria have objectionable odors.
Fungi typically grow more slowly than bacteria, but can form large masses which clog filters and lines and in some cases lead to system shutdown; fungi also generate foul odors and can cause corrosion.
The increased use of synthetic fluids over the past few years has led to an even greater need for the enhanced fungal control that KATHON 893 MW Biocide can provide.
For Tankside and Concentrate KATHON 893 MW Biocide is a broad-spectrum fungicide that has been recommended and widely used for tankside control of fungi in metalworking central systems.
KATHON 893 MW is also an effective fungicide for use in many metalworking fluid concentrates with the appropriate stabilizer package.
Due to the wide variations in metalworking fluid formulations, laboratory or small-scale tests are recommended to evaluate KATHON 893 MW in usedilution and concentrate metalworking fluids before they are commercialized.
KATHON 893 MW is a highly effective, industrial fungicide that exhibits excellent fungistatic and fungicidal activity against fungi, including yeasts and mold, and Gram-Positive bacteria, and limited activity against Gram-Negative bacteria.

Use-Dilution Fluid We highly recommend grossly contaminated systems be cleaned before treatment is begun.
Initial Dose: For a noticeably fouled system, add 0.47 to 1.44 lbs (7 to 21 fl oz) of KATHON 893 MW Biocide per 1,000 gallons of fluid.
This will provide 25 to 75 ppm active ingredient. Repeat until control is achieved.
Subsequent Dose: For maintenance of a non-fouled system, add 0.09 to 0.58 lbs (1.3 to 8.6 fl oz) of KATHON 893 MW Biocide per 1,000 gallons of fluid every four weeks.
This will provide 5 to 30 ppm active ingredient.
A higher dose range and/or increased frequency of treatment may be required, depending upon the rate of dilution of the preservative with the makeup fluid, the nature and severity of contamination, level of control required, filtration effectiveness, system design, etc.
Key Features & Benefits Applications/ Directions for Use
General Practices When Using KATHON Biocides
• Know the size of your system and dose at the recommended use levels.
• To improve performance and longevity, add KATHON 893 MW Biocide on the clean side of the filters.
It may be necessary to occasionally add KATHON 893 MW to the dirty side of the filters if large populations of microorganisms are detected there.
• Minimize contamination: – Eliminate or minimize dead spots – Disconnect unused portions of the system – Do not throw trash in sumps
• Always remember to triple rinse (or equivalent) empty containers to avoid incidental contact.
• Post placard with safety information and deactivation protocol near biocide handling area.
Additional guidelines for maximizing the performance of KATHON 893 MW Biocide are as follows:
• KATHON 893 MW stability and performance is improved with lower pH.
Whenever possible, maintain the pH of system below pH 9.2.
Lower pH also makes amines and amine-containing compounds less aggressive.
• For systems with pH greater than 9.5, we strongly recommend determination of biological efficacy and chemical stability prior to use.
• Avoid adding highly basic additives (alkaline materials with pH of 10-12) immediately prior to or after adding KATHON 893 MW to your system.
If a highly basic additive must be added, allow sufficient time (at least 30 minutes) between additions.
Minimize levels of diethanolamine (DEA) in your system. If possible use 99% triethanolamine (TEA) or monoethanolamine (MEA) instead of DEA, and use these at as low a level as possible.
• Always add KATHON 893 MW directly to the metalworking fluid sump. Never use KATHON 893 MW in a spray bottle.
• Avoid charging KATHON 893 MW in high temperature zones, since increasing temperatures accelerate other degradation effects.
Ideally, add KATHON 893 MW to the fluid below 60°C (140°F).
• Avoid adding KATHON 893 MW and incompatible corrosion inhibitors directly to the tank at the same time.
How Does KATHON 893 MW Biocide Work?
KATHON 893 MW Biocide utilizes a two-step mechanism involving rapid growth inhibition leading to a loss of cell viability.
Growth inhibition is the result of rapid disruption of the central metabolic pathways of the cell by inhibition of several specific enzymes, including dehydrogenases.
The critical enzymes which are affected are associated with the Krebs cycle, nutrient metabolism and energy generation.
The key physiological activities that are rapidly inhibited in microbial cells are respiration (oxygen consumption), energy generation (ATP synthesis), and growth (assimilation).
Many of these key enzymes are present in both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, which explains why KATHON 893 MW is such a broad spectrum biocide.
Inhibition of cellular activity and growth is rapid (within minutes), whereas cell death (cidal activity) is observed after several hours’ contact.
In general, the higher the concentration of biocide, the shorter the contact time required for more complete kill.
Cell death results from the progressive loss of protein thiols in the cell from one of multiple pathways.
As cell metabolism is disrupted, free radicals are produced which also results in cell death.
This unique mechanism results in the broad spectrum of activity of KATHON 893 MW Biocide, low use levels for microbial control, and difficulty in attaining resistance by mutation.
See technical bulletin (CS-632) for more detailed information.
How Rapidly Does KATHON 893 MW Biocide Work? Within minutes after addition of KATHON 893 MW Biocide to a metalworking fluid sump, the metabolic activity of the microorganisms in the system shuts down.
This includes cellular respiration (oxygen uptake), growth, energy generation, and nutrient uptake.
The microorganisms, although still alive, are no longer able to reproduce or metabolize metalworking fluid components.
After 24 to 48 hours of contact with a lethal dose of the biocide, most of the microorganisms have been killed.
How Long Does KATHON 893 MW Biocide Last?
KATHON 893 MW Biocide has excellent in-use stability and generally retains its antimicrobial efficacy in metalworking fluid systems for 2 to 4 weeks.
Variables such as degree of fluid contamination, effectiveness of the filtration system, system turnover time, compatibility between the microbicide and the metalworking fluid components, and other system additives involved, can affect the life of the microbicide in a system.
Is KATHON 893 MW Biocide Effective in Reducing Fungal Biofilms?
YES.
KATHON 893 MW Biocide has been shown to reduce microbial fouling and prevent biofilm development in metalworking fluid systems.
The benefits of reduced fungal biofouling include improved system performance, reduced filter plugging, reduced biocorrosion, and improved microbial control.
Is KATHON 893 MW Biocide Effective When Used in Concentrates?
YES.
KATHON 893 MW Biocide may be used in certain fluid concentrates to provide efficacy in the final use dilutions.
Although KATHON 893 MW stability may not be suitable for all concentrates, we have had success with the biocide alone or in combination with one of our recommended stabilizers.
How Can I Improve KATHON 893 MW Biocide Stability in Concentrates?
We recommend testing KATHON 893 MW Biocide in concentrates prior to commercialization.
Dow technical staff can assist you in formulating products.
We have years of experience and a range of recommended stabilizers to prolong the lifetime and improve compatibility of KATHON 893 MW in concentrates.
Contact your sales representative for assistance.
Anti-Microbial Properties of KATHON 893 MW Biocide Initial determinations of the efficacy of any biocidal product are made via minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) measurements.
The MIC test yields valuable information about the product’s inherent antimicrobial efficacy and spectrum of activity.
The MIC for any product is the lowest level at which the active ingredient inhibits the growth of various microorganisms.
This method is a useful tool for screening antimicrobial agents
Efficacy Data Page under standardized laboratory conditions, in nutrient-rich growth conditions.
In interpreting the data, remember that low values correspond to high activity.
Table 2 indicates that KATHON 893 MW Biocide possesses outstanding antimicrobial activity against a broad range of fungi (both yeasts and molds).
KATHON 893 MW has very low MIC values for most of the fungi tested and there is no gap in the spectrum of activity among the organisms tested.

Be certain that the KATHON 893 MW and decontamination solution mix well.
Wait at least 30 minutes to ensure complete reaction.
Drain and rinse with clean water or detergent solution. Decontamination solution runoffs should be drained to a chemical sewer unless prohibited by state or local regulations.
Drips, minor spills and exposed wet areas should be cleaned up promptly with the hypochlorite/bicarbonate mixture.
Contaminated surfaces should be swabbed with decontamination solution and allowed to stand for 30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with water.
Decontaminated solutions should be drained to a chemical sewer unless prohibited by state or local regulations.
Note: Because of the high level of activity of KATHON 893 MW, a relatively small quantity could have a damaging impact on the effectiveness of waste treatment bio-systems.
Laboratory or plant spills should be decontaminated with decontamination solution before being released to a biological waste treatment system.
Cleanup of Spills Procedures provided in the Safe Handling Section should be followed when cleaning spills of KATHON 893 MW Biocide.
1. Wear impervious rubber gloves, chemical splash goggles, protective clothing and overshoes.
2. Dike and adsorb the spilled material on an inert solid, such as clay or vermiculite or with spill control pillows.
3. Transfer the adsorbent or pillows and surrounding surface soil into a pail or drum. This container should be no more than two-thirds full.
4. Treat the contents of the container with 10 volumes of decontamination solution per estimated volume of spilled KATHON 893 MW.
5. Treat the surrounding spill area with excess decontamination solution.
Flush after a minimum of 30 minutes into a chemical sewer.
6. Do not discharge spills and cleaning runoffs into open bodies of water, because of a potential adverse impact on the environment.
7. Carefully remove the contaminated gloves and place them in the container (peel off the gloves by pulling on the outside of the glove sleeve turning them inside out as they are removed).
After 48 hours, seal the container and dispose of it by landfilling in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
