PX10 (Polydex)

PX10 is a highly effective, economical, and environmentally responsible solution for controlling harmful biological contaminants in water. As a multi-functional treatment (algaecide, bactericide, cyanobactericide, fungicide, molluscicide, and weedicide), it delivers fast, species-specific control of algae, bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, mussels (zebra and quagga), and some aquatic weeds, along with their associated toxins.

Designed for use in natural, drinking, recreational, industrial, irrigation, and livestock water systems, PX10 helps municipalities, agricultural operations, and industries maintain clean, safe water. It works at copper ion concentrations well below global drinking water standards (Health Canada: ≤2.0 ppm, EPA: 1.3 ppm, WHO: ≤2.0 ppm), ensuring regulatory compliance without compromising effectiveness.

By preventing clogging, foul odors, and biofilm buildup, PX10 protects infrastructure, animal health, and water aesthetics. Used seasonally, it reduces the need for harsh chemicals like chlorine or activated carbon, cutting treatment costs while preserving water quality.

Water Treatment Application

PX10 is a natural, mineral-based solution designed to control microbial contamination in a wide range of water systems. It effectively targets and eliminates algae, bacteria, cyanobacteria, zebra and quagga mussels, and other harmful organisms.


Key Benefits Across Water Systems:

  • Controls microbial contamination in natural waters, industrial ponds, irrigation systems, livestock drinking water, potable water storage tanks, and distribution networks

  • Improves water quality by enhancing color, taste, and odor

  • Reduces suspended organic matter, lowering filtration and maintenance costs

  • Minimizes reliance on chemical disinfectants like chlorine

  • Remains effective under variable conditions, including sunlight, high pH, alkalinity, and COD

  • Safe for use in reservoirs, golf courses, canals, ponds, waterscapes, and decorative water features


Municipal Water Treatment Advantages:

  • Controls algae, cyanobacteria, bacteria, mussels, and organic film buildup

  • Prevents foul odors and noxious gas formation

  • Enhances aesthetic quality of both potable and non-potable water

  • Reduces suspended solids and chemical consumption during treatment

  • Lowers maintenance needs for instruments, filters, and pumps

  • Complies with stringent regulatory standards globally, including those from Health Canada, EPA, and WHO


PX10 delivers a comprehensive, eco-friendly solution for water treatment professionals seeking consistent performance, regulatory compliance, and operational cost savings.

Agro-Industrial Application

Non-Toxic Biosecurity for Agriculture and Industry

For forward-thinking agricultural and industrial managers, PX10 offers an environmentally responsible solution to biological contamination from algae, bacteria, cyanobacteria, zebra, quagga, and Asian green mussels along with the harmful toxins they produce. Fast-acting and non-toxic, PX10 delivers immediate results without compromising environmental safety.


Greenhouse & Irrigation System Protection

Biological contaminants can severely impact greenhouse and field crop operations threatening plant health, clogging lines and tanks, and raising food safety concerns. PX10 provides effective, long-lasting control of microbial growth, keeping irrigation systems clean, efficient, and safe.


Pipe-Compatible & System-Friendly

PX10 is compatible with all major irrigation system materials, including:

  • Polyethylene

  • Polypropylene

  • PVC

  • Stainless steel

  • Aluminum

For enhanced performance and mineral scale control, LI12.5 can be used alongside PX10 to restore and maintain irrigation systems at peak efficiency.


Certified for Safety and Quality

PX10 is independently certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for use in drinking water treatment. The product and its manufacturing facility have consistently met certification standards for over 20 years.

How It Works

PX10 uses a new generation of copper: labile, ionic, and bioavailable. Powered by Ocion’s proprietary AIM (Aqueous Ionic Matrix) Technology, it delivers highly effective microbial control using only minute quantities of the most biologically active form of copper.

Unlike traditional copper sulfate, which often sinks to the bottom and creates ineffective “hot spots,” PX10 naturally disperses throughout the water column ensuring even coverage and consistent performance. It remains suspended and bioavailable until it is fully absorbed by target organisms, offering long-lasting protection.

PX10 is also resilient in challenging conditions. It remains active and effective even in high pH, elevated alkalinity, strong sunlight, and waters with high organic content where traditional treatments like chlorine or copper sulfate often fail due to evaporation, precipitation, or deactivation.

Because of its precision, stability, and efficiency, PX10 requires progressively lower application rates over time to maintain microbe-free aquatic environments making it a sustainable and cost-effective choice for ongoing water treatment.

Environmental Responsibility

PX10 is a naturally derived, mineral-based pesticide developed as part of Ocion’s commitment to a sustainable environmental future. Its mineral formulation closely mirrors naturally occurring background levels, allowing for effective treatment while supporting ecological balance.

Depending on the application and environmental conditions, concentrations can be adjusted to ensure minimal impact. Once applied to water, organic waste, plants, or food, PX10’s mineral ions bind to target microorganisms or organic matter. In this bound state, the ions are no longer biologically active or toxic, and are gradually assimilated into the environment without disrupting mineral equilibrium.

In cases requiring more intensive early treatment, environmental balance is progressively restored through responsible use.
