STYX 99
Complete conditioning fluid for self-contained toilet systems. Truly, a revolution in transport sanitation.
What is STYX 99?
STYX 99 is the first sanitary cosmetic fluid to be designed by hygiene specialists specifically to meet the demands of aircraft engineers and fleet operators alike.
STYX 99 is a unique combination of deodorants, reodorants, biological stabilisers, fragrance and colour tone, optimised and concentrated to serve the rigorous conditions of modern high speed travel.

How to use STYX 99
Methods of use and customer practices dictate that several complementary packaging systems are employed. In all cases, the designed loading is 1:440 (50ml : 22 Litres) in the initial fluid charge.
1) Direct transfer of fluid to aircraft tanks from service bowser.
Most bowsers are fitted with venturi dilution devices, which allow uptake and automatic dilution from 25L and 205L jerry cans and barrels or from bulk stock.
2) Single shot dosing via toilet bowls.
This technique is prevalent in aircraft fitted with recirculatory toilets. 17 shot calibrated non-drip dispensers are available for this purpose.
3) Sachets
The self-soluble sachet dose method is in disrepute due to the tendency of the polymer film to form an insoluble tar which hinders deep cleaning and may harbour micro-organisms.
STYX 99 is available in flat-pack, single dose sachets of metallised polypropylene foil. The sachet is opened, poured into the toilet bowl and the empty sachet retained for disposal.
