OXINE®
Proven waterborne plant pathogen control for the horticulture industry
OXINE® is a state-of-the-art formulation that controls plant pathogens in irrigation waters throughout the facility. The unique and proprietary blend of oxychloro compounds in OXINE® provides rapid, effective control of organisms such as Pythium, Phytophthora, and a host of others that affect growers.
OXINE® is uniquely effective against biofilm. It breaks biofilms attachment to surfaces then penetrates and dissolves the biofilm and attacks the organisms within. The normal results are bacteria and biofilm-free pipes, emitters and cooling pads which insures consistent water flow which can mean healthier plants.
OXINE® activation with BCI’s patented activation and delivery systems generates a solution containing chlorine dioxide with the following benefits:
- Efficacious on organisms of concern in horticulture
- Superior biofilm control
- Ability to enhance water quality
- Low corrosion potential
- Effectiveness over a broad pH range (1-10)
- Resistance against neutralization from organic load
Applications
- Closed loop systems / Irrigation Systems / Facility disinfection
- Water systems disinfectant for biofilm removal and control.
- Bacterial, mold and odor control throughout the facility.

Concentration Test Kit
Concentration of Oxine® in process waters can be conveniently monitored using BCI’s Oxine® Test Kit.
Activation
Activation involves lowering the pH of the concentrate with phosphoric, hydrochloric or any other acid. Activation may be accomplished manually for low volume batch applications.
