RXSOL BTC ZYME

Biological Toilet Cleaner for Marine Sanitary & Sewage Treatment Systems

RXSOL BTC ZYME is a biologically active liquid cleaner designed for use in marine toilets, sanitary systems, sewage lines and sewage-treatment systems. It combines specialized bacterial activity with biodegradable, low-foaming cleaning agents and anti-foam components to support effective cleaning while maintaining biological activity within the sewage system.

The biological action helps break down organic deposits, grease, fats, starch, faecal matter, paper residues, proteins and other biodegradable waste materials that can accumulate in sanitary pipework and toilet systems.

RXSOL BTC ZYME is particularly suitable where conventional aggressive toilet cleaners may interfere with the natural biological activity required for effective sewage treatment.

How it works

RXSOL Zyme  is specifically formulated to replace aggressive, toxic toilet cleaners that can disable the sewage treatment plant by killing the naturally occurring bacteria that are essential to its operation. Conventional toilet cleaners may also cause foaming in the vacuum inductor which destroys the vacuum in the sanitary flushing system. RXSOL Zyme BTC effectively cleans the toilets and doses millions of selected safe bacteria into the sanitary system. These powerful specialized bacteria colonies the organic waste lining the pipe system and remove the organic deposit. On draining to the sewage treatment plant, the bacteria will enhance the biological activity, reducing solids and odors. Grease, fats, starch and other organic compounds are digested by Rxsol Zyme BTC. The degradation of paper, protein, waste product residuals and other odorous materials is also enhanced. RXSOL Zyme BTC cleans more thoroughly and deeply compared to conventional cleaning products. The use of cleaning products containing hazardous chemicals such as acids, caustics, bleaches, disinfectants, etc., can be reduced.

Precautions
Precautions

Typical Toilet Cleaning Procedure

For routine toilet cleaning:

  1. Open or lift the toilet seat.

  2. Apply RXSOL BTC ZYME onto the internal toilet-bowl surface.

  3. Ensure adequate coverage of the contaminated surface.

  4. Allow a short contact period.

  5. Scrub the bowl thoroughly using a toilet brush.

  6. Flush with water.

The reference manufacturer's instructions specify daily use as a normal toilet cleaner, with application directly to the toilet bowl followed by scrubbing and flushing.

Important: Descaling & Rust Removal

RXSOL BTC ZYME is primarily intended for biological cleaning and organic-waste degradation.

For deposits such as:

  • Water scale

  • Uric acid scale

  • Rust stains

  • Hard mineral deposits

a dedicated toilet descaler or appropriate scale-removal product should be used rather than relying on BTC ZYME alone. The reference product instructions likewise distinguish descaling from the biological toilet-cleaning function. 

Heavy Soil in Sanitary Pipes

Where sanitary pipes contain heavy organic contamination or significant soil deposits, an initial treatment using an appropriate heavy-duty biological pipe-cleaning product may be required before continuing with routine BTC ZYME treatment.

Chemicals to Avoid

To preserve biological activity, avoid using BTC ZYME together with aggressive toilet cleaners containing:

  • Strong acids

  • Bleaches

  • Disinfectants

  • Strong caustic cleaners

  • Other chemicals that can kill or inhibit beneficial bacteria

NOTE: specifically warns that toxic acid, disinfectant and bleach-based toilet cleaners can have a detrimental effect on the biological activity of Gamazyme BTC.
