Characteristics of Micro-Blaze®  

Emergency Liquid Spill Control

 

Micro-Blaze® Emergency Liquid Spill Control contains surfactants, nutrients and non-pathogenic bacteria.  When applied to a hydrocarbon-based or organic spill or contaminant, the surfactant starts emulsifying (breaking down) the contaminants into smaller molecules for more efficient degradation by the microbes.

Physical Characteristics:

  • White, opaque perfumed liquid formulation
  • pH: 7.3
  • Completely soluble in water 
  • Bacteria count:  ~ 400 billion / gallon
  • Contains several strains of Bacillus bacterial cultures; non-pathogenic, non-toxic; will not mutate
  • Completely biodegradable
  • 10-year shelf life
  • Ships concentrated ready to dilute with water and use; no mixing dry powders and waiting 24 hours

The microbes used in the Micro-Blaze formulations are in a spore form. When conditions become dry, a large percentage will revert back to a spore state, and will reactivate when conditions again become favorable.  Other products normally use what is commonly called a vegetative microbe.  Vegetative microbes will die off when conditions become dry and they cannot reactivate.

The spores in Micro-Blaze products can normally handle pH ranges of 4.5 to 11.5.  Vegetative microbes can usually only handle pH ranges of 6.0 to 9.0.
