Biobor JF Fuel Additive

Biobor JF is a fuel biocide formulated to kill and prevent microbial growth in aviation turbine fuel and other hydrocarbon fuels. Microbial contamination can contribute to fuel filter plugging, fuel-system contamination, and microbial-influenced corrosion. Biobor JF uses dual-phase chemistry that distributes between fuel and water phases to treat microbial growth where it occurs.

The 32 oz Biobor JF container is a convenient size for aircraft operators, maintenance facilities, and other applications where a measured quantity of fuel biocide is needed. Biobor JF meets MIL-S-53021A and is approved for aviation use according to the manufacturer.

Biobor JF Fuel Biocide Features

Microbial Contamination in Aviation Fuel

Microorganisms can develop at the fuel-water interface when water is present in a fuel system. Bacterial and fungal growth can contribute to biomass accumulation, filter plugging and corrosion of fuel-system components. Regular fuel-quality monitoring can help identify microbial contamination before it becomes a larger maintenance issue.

Biobor JF is designed to address microbial contamination by killing and preventing the growth of microorganisms in the fuel system. Its dual-phase formulation allows the product to distribute between the fuel and water phases.

Biobor JF for Aircraft Fuel Systems

Biobor JF has been used in aviation fuel applications since 1965 and is manufactured for use as a fuel biocide. The manufacturer lists Biobor JF for aviation turbine fuel and identifies MIL-S-53021A as a military specification for the product.

For aviation maintenance programs, fuel testing can be used to determine whether microbial contamination is present before selecting an appropriate treatment. BAC also carries microbial fuel testing products, including the Hum-Bug Bug Detector Kit and ECHA Microbmonitor 2 Microbial Fuel Test Kit.

Biobor JF Treatment Rates

Use Biobor JF according to the manufacturer's current technical data sheet and product instructions. Treatment concentration depends on the fuel quantity and whether the application calls for preventative or curative treatment. Always verify the applicable dosage before adding Biobor JF to a fuel system.

Refer to the manufacturer’s current TDS and SDS for complete application, dosage, handling and safety information.
