Magnacide 575 Product

DESCRIPTION/APPLICATION:
Magnacide 575 is a biocide product for use in Baker Oil Tools' fracturing fluids. The product is typically
used as a quick kill biocide when loading fracturing fluid mix water onto frac boats tanks and plumbing.
A significant advantage of Magnacide 575 is its ability to rapidly degrade through hydrolysis, photolysis,
oxidation, and biometabolism. In most cases the biocide is degraded into nontoxic by-products within 24
hours. This makes the product much less toxic to use than most biocides used in the oilfield.

Broad spectrum biocide
Has quick kill characteristic
Rapidly degrades into nontoxic byproducts
Has tolerance to salinity

APPLICATION AND DOSAGE:

For fracture stimulation treatments, the recommended dosage is 0.1 to 0.3 gallons per 1000 gallons
(0.1 to 0.3 liters per cu. meter). Magnacide is compatible with all of Baker Oil Tools fracturing additives.
