Biosan BSF is a new addition to our antimicrobial Biosan technology offering. It is a concentrated liquid product developed for dosing into systems to suppress biofilm formation and provide operators and plant managers an effective means of controlling biofouling, Legionella and bioclogging issues.
Utilising plant based and naturally occurring compounds, the product impacts microbial biofilm formation by providing a direct biocidal challenge and via disruption of quorum sensing mechanisms.
How it works
The actives within Biosan BSF act via two different mechanisms to bring about the suppression of biofilm formation.
First: the product provides a direct and broad-spectrum biocidal challenge to bacteria, where the non-specific mechanisms of membrane disruption and arrest of protein metabolism make the development of resistance unlikely.
Second: the disruption of quorum sensing prevents bacteria from “talking” to each other via chemical messengers. In many instances, this prevents biofilm formation as the need to undertake quorum sensing is a pivotal initiator of biofilm formation.
