grotamar® 71
grotamar® 71 is a versatile solution for preserving diesel fuels, formulated as a reaction product of paraformaldehyde and 2-hydroxypropylamine (ratio 3:2) [MBO]. Serving as a fuel biocide, it effectively targets bacteria, yeasts, and molds, including sulfate-reducing bacteria, to maintain fuel integrity. With excellent anti-corrosive properties, it enhances lasting protection against microbial material degradation. Importantly, it contains no nitrate, nitrosating agents, or organically bound chlorine, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. grotamar® 71 is soluble in both diesel fuel and water, offering ease of use, and is free of sulfur. Beyond fuel preservation, it serves as a reliable preservative for manufactured products, rodenticides, insecticides, and other baits, ensuring extended shelf life and quality preservation.
