AQUCAR™
AQUCAR Water Treatment Microbiocides help keep air washers, evaporative condensers and cooling towers free of harmful slime-forming and sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Products in the portfolio are effective over a wide pH range, have a quick speed of kill, and are non-ionic, non-sensitizing and compatible with other treatment chemicals. With several environmentally conscious and non-formaldehyde releasing biocides, AQUCAR Water Treatment Microbiocides are an excellent choice for industrial cooling water treatment.

Based on a diverse range of active ingredients for water treatment applications, the AQUCAR products can address microbial issues in cooling water, process water, sugar cane fermentation, and reverse osmosis membrane systems.
