Mixing Instructions
-
Read the complete product label and identify the required dilution for the intended application.
-
Calculate the total quantity of solution required.
-
Use clean equipment to measure the correct amount of powder.
-
Add the measured Neogen Viroxide Super powder to the required volume of water.
-
Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.
-
Apply the prepared solution according to the label directions.
Do not guess the concentration. Using too little product may reduce efficacy, while an unnecessarily strong solution may increase safety and surface-compatibility risks.
Preparation and Surface Cleaning
Effective disinfection requires the solution to contact the target surface properly.
Before application:
• Remove animals, feed and movable items where directed
• Remove manure, bedding, soil and other heavy organic matter
• Clean visibly dirty surfaces thoroughly
• Rinse where required
• Prepare fresh disinfectant solution at the correct dilution
• Apply enough solution to wet the surface thoroughly
• Observe the concentration, application method and contact time specified on the Australian label
Organic material can interfere with disinfectant performance. Good physical cleaning remains an important part of an effective biosecurity program.
Surface Compatibility
Test the prepared solution on a small, inconspicuous area before widespread use, particularly on sensitive metals, fabrics, painted finishes or other uncertain materials.
Do not mix Neogen Viroxide Super with other cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, acids, alkalis or bleach.
Safety Directions
The concentrated powder is strongly acidic and corrosive.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin
