Overview

Triazine Derivative (typically Hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine) is a high-efficiency, formaldehyde-releasing bactericide that delivers rapid action against a broad spectrum of bacteria, particularly sulfate-reducing and acid-producing bacteria in industrial systems. It is extensively used in upstream and downstream oilfield operations due to its strong compatibility with brines, hydrocarbons, and injection systems. The product offers a stable shelf life, high water solubility, and optimal performance in a wide pH range. When dosed appropriately, it helps extend asset life, reduce microbial-induced corrosion, and maintain system cleanliness. This water-soluble compound is easy to handle and compatible with a variety of formulation systems, offering a balance of performance, safety, and biodegradability. It is especially favored in oil & gas operations for downhole injection and produced water treatment.
