SAFETY

ENVIRONMENT

BIODEGRADABILITY

Virocid® is readily biodegradable for more than 90% after 28 days, according to European Commission Directive 84/449/EEC and the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).

 

No residues of heavy metals or trihalomethanes.

 

Virocid® used for disinfection of farm buildings will not affect the activity in biogas installations.

TEMPERATURE RANGE

TEMPERATURE RANGE

Virocid® can be used between 4 °C – 60 °C, and even in freezing temperatures, by adding propylene glycol.

 

Also tested in seawater (CFR Test University of Bergen, Norway). Test available upon request.

STABILITY

STABILITY

The dilution of 0,5% (1:200) and 1% (1:100) is stable in water of 60 °C (43 F), 25 °C (77 F) and 40 °C (104 F) during 4 weeks.

 

The concentrate has a shelf life of 3 years at an average temperature of 25 °C.

SURFACES

NON-CORROSIVE
Virocid® at 0,5%, after 1000h of immersion causes no corrosion on surfaces commonly used in livestock industries and therefore can be used safely.

EQUIPMENT

VDA

Virocid® is VDA approved at 1% as class A.

 

Products with a VDA approval meet the highest German quality standards, meaning not corrosive on vehicles.

 

(VDA = German Association of the Automotive Industry)
