PMX 145 – Regulatory & Compliance Information

Product Classification

PMX 145 is a fuel biocide formulated for use in diesel and biodiesel storage systems. It is intended for microbial control and long-term contamination prevention in static and operational fuel storage environments.

Intended Use

PMX 145 is designed for use in:

  • Diesel fuel storage tanks

  • Biodiesel and biodiesel blend storage

  • Fleet, mining, marine, agricultural, and standby power fuel systems

The product is used to inactivate microbial contamination and inhibit re-growth when applied according to supplier guidance.

Mechanism of Action (Technical Summary)

PMX 145 remains suspended throughout the fuel phase, enabling uniform distribution. Upon application:

  • Active microorganisms are inactivated

  • Biomass aggregates and may settle for physical removal

  • Residual biocide remains present in fuel

  • Ongoing biostatic control reduces risk of recontamination

Fuel Specification Compatibility

PMX 145 is formulated to preserve diesel fuel quality.

Standard Description Result Status
ASTM D975 Diesel Fuel Specification Meets requirements Pass

Treated fuel remains within applicable diesel specification limits when used as directed.

Safety & Handling

  • Classified as non-hazardous for handling and storage

  • No dangerous goods transport classification

  • Suitable for on-site use without specialised chemical handling infrastructure

Always follow local workplace safety procedures and SDS guidance.

Long-Term Performance

Fuel testing and field use indicate:

  • >5 years microbial protection in conventional diesel

  • >2 years microbial protection in biodiesel blends

Performance duration depends on storage conditions, water ingress control, and system maintenance.

Regulatory Positioning

PMX 145:

  • Does not alter diesel fuel classification

  • Does not push fuel outside ASTM D975 compliance

  • Is suitable for inclusion in fuel management and contamination prevention programs
