International Enzymes, Inc.

BACTO-ZYME uses naturally occurring organic materials combined with surfactants and other biologically stimulating ingredients which together formulate a very effective cleaning/odor control product. BACTO-ZYME is an organic, multi-enzyme based product, non-toxic and ecologically compatible.

BACTO-ZYME’s formulation promotes penetration and emulsification of oily or fatty substances to increase micro-organism activity. This accelerates destruction of odor causing conditions and gives BACTO-ZYME excellent cleaning agent properties.Its proprietary formulation has been designed to be non-hazardous and non­flammable. It has a slightly acidic (pH 3.5-4) organic composition. BACTO-ZYME works in a wide range of pH and temperatures — however, best at 95° F and between 3 to 9.5 pH.

BACTO-ZYME is user friendly and eliminates the need for protective clothing, gloves and boots. It further eliminates the costly control, collection and disposal of harmful effluents contained in other cleaning products. BACTO-ZYME can be discharged into public-owned wastewater treatment systems or soil discharged to the environment without deleterious effect.

Regular use of BACTO-ZYME will keep .grease traps, drains, garbage disposals, wet wells and septic systems free flowing and odorless. Available in 5 and 55-gallon containers. Freezing will not impair BACTO-ZYME, but may cause container to rupture.

BACTO-ZYME is compatible with all municipal waste treatment systems. Its microorganism enhancement activity contributes to the reduction of suspended solids and biological oxygen demand.

Advantages

Technically superior for degreasing and cleaning metallic and non-metallic surfaces. Greatly increases and promotes the adhesion capability of applied coatings to metallic surfaces. Greatly increases and promotes the adhesion capability of applied coatings to metallic surfaces.

• Non-hazardous to user personnel
• Biodegradable
• Harmless to painted surfaces
• 100 percent rinseable - low foaming
• Non-flammable - water based cleaner
• Stable in storage and resistant to freeze/thaw
• Can be used to manage and control odors

Characteristics

• Non-toxic - Non-imitating to most skin tissue, causes no rash or burn. If ingested accidentally in small amounts it may produce a laxative effect. If exposed to the eyes, flush immediately with water. Consult a physician.
• Hypo-allergenic - Contains no known allergens contributory to skin, respiratory or other allergies. It is not offensive in odor. It is non-gaseous and can be used in poorly ventilated areas.
• Non-flammable - Contains no combustible materials, is non-explosive and can be used near open flame.
• Non abrasive - Contains no abrasive ingredients and can be used on most delicate surfaces and finishes that allow the use of water.
• 100% Rinsibility - Washes off completely with water, leaving no bead stains or streaks. After rinsing, BACTO-ZYME leaves a non-static finish, thus inhibiting dust accumulation.
• Easy application - Can be spray applied or poured onto surfaces to be treated. BACTO-ZYME does not require special equipment. The method used for application depends on the intended treatment or use.
• Storage & shelf life - BACTO-ZYME should be stored below 120 F. Freezing temperatures are not harmful. BACTO-ZYME has an extended shelf life depending upon storage temperatures. It should be stirred well and mixed after any extended storage time.
• USDA Rated - BACTO-ZYME is accepted by the US Department of Agriculture for use as a general cleaner on all surfaces and for use with steam or mechanical cleaning devices in all departments and establishments operating under Federal Meat and Poultry inspection programs.

BACTO-ZYME is water based and provided in a concentrated form to be diluted with water according to use and performance intent.

• Treatment and disposal of Sewage and Waste waters, Septic tank and Drain lines.
• Odor control for Industry and Agriculture - Control organic chemical odors, non-masking odor of organic wastes and composting odor & eliminate airborne odors.
• Industrial cleaning - Metal cleaning & degreasing and General cleaning (non-solvent based cleaner)

Dilution rates

• Airborne odors Dilute with water 100 to 1. Apply in mist form
• Light industrial Dilute with water 40 to 1 for general cleaning
• Equipment degreasing Dilute with warm water 30 to 1
• Dilute 75 to 1 if using a pressure sprayer at 100 psi (some foaming will occur)
• Septic tank For 750 gallon septic tank add 1 quart. Add 2-4 ounces per week, placed in various drains to keep all lines open
• Carpet deodorizing Dilute 50 to 1 with warm water. Apply to carpet and rinse with plain water. Apply using a carpet shampooing machine
• Drain lines Mix 2 ounces in 1 cup of warm water and pour in drain. Leave for 15 minutes and flush with hot water
• Mechanical hard floors 3 ounces per gallon of water
• Carpet cleaning 3 ounces per gallon of water
• Manual mopping 3 ounces per gallon of water
• Glass & metal 1 ounces per gallon of water
• WASTE & SEPTIC BACTO-ZYME (BACTO-ZYME 2X diluted 31% BACTO-ZYME 69% water)(17 gal BACTO-ZYME 38 gals water)

Specialty Application Notes

Grease Traps – Add one gallon of BACTO-ZYME to any trap up to 150 gallon capacity. If over 150 gallons, add one ounce per additional gallon. Follow with one gallon of lukewarm water. If added to open trap, spray exposed surfaces with a solution of one part BACTO-ZYME to 20 parts water, to deodorize. Each week add one quart of BACTO-ZYME per 150 gallons or less capacity. Add one ounce for every 5 gallons over 150 gallons to keep a free and odorless system.Septic Systems - Add 16 ounces of BACTO-ZYME for each 100 gallons of septic capacity. BACTO-ZYME may be flushed or poured in drains leading to the tank. Add one ounce of BACTO-ZYME for each 100 gallons weekly. Deodorize and restore adsorption fields with two gallons of BACTO-ZYME added to enough water to cover 400 square feet of field area, followed with a thorough wetting of water. Repeat after four days if needed.

Drains - BACTO-ZYME may be added directly from container or into drain lines by automatic dispenser. Add BACTO-ZYME at lowest use period. Always treat lowest levels of drains in system first.

Lift Stations and Wet Well - To prevent formation of a grease cap, add one ounce of BACTO-ZYME for each gallon capacity. Each week add % ounce of BACTO-ZYME per gallon capacity.
