KATHON FP 1.5 

Trusted for decades for use in fuels, KATHON FP 1.5 is effective against bacteria and fungi in a wide range of fuel preservation applications. Manufactured exclusively for the fuel market, KATHON FP 1.5 contains the widely used CMIT/MIT active in a solvent of dipropylene glycol (mixed isomers), rather than water. Low product dosages of 0.01% to 0.04% (100 to 400 ppm) product, as supplied, are required for antimicrobial efficacy. A maximum dosage of 400 ppm product delivers only 1.4 ppm sulfur, and the minimum dosage of 100 ppm product delivers 0.3 ppm sulfur.

KATHON FP 1.5 is the only Dow Microbial Control product approved for use in aviation fluids. The Federal Aviation Administration must be consulted as to the acceptability of the additive for use in specific engines and/or aircraft.
