Nalco 3434

Summary

Product Identification

• Product Name: NALCO 3434
• Product Type: Cooling Water Biocide
• Description: Liquid solution of sodium bromide.

Benefits

• Helps to maintain optimum heat transfer and system efficiency.
• Forms hypobromous acid when added to a chlorine source, acting as an efficient and fast-acting biocide.
• Effective at higher cooling water pH values.
• Effective in the presence of ammonia in the cooling water.
• Reduces maintenance costs by preventing fouling of heat exchangers and microbial corrosion.

Uses

• Designed for use in once-through and recirculating cooling systems.
• Suitable for pasteurizers, air washers, and wastewater systems.
• Used in conjunction with a source of chlorine (e.g., sodium hypochlorite or chlorine gas).

Dosage and Feeding

• Dosage is dependent on water chemistry and site-specific parameters.
• Consult a Nalco representative for optimum dosage recommendations.
• Should be fed via a closed system, defined as a system where fluid is moved from storage to treated media without atmospheric exposure, except for normal venting or pressure relief.

Materials Compatibility

• Suitable for storage and application equipment: PVC, PE, Teflon, Stainless Steel.
• Do not use with: Aluminum, Brass, Carbon steel in contact with the neat product.

Handling and Storage

• Recommended use of protective equipment (goggles, rubber gloves) when handling.
• Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet for Environmental and Safety information.
• Shelf life: At least 12 months from date of shipping if kept in original, unopened container under normal warehouse conditions.
• Protect from freezing and high temperatures.

Availability

• Available in non-returnable containers and PORTA-FEED units of different sizes.
