BIODEGRADABILITY
MEL: legislation concerning the protection of human health and the security of the employees against the risks of chemical agents on the work floor.
Virocid® complies with MEL. This means that the amount of glutaraldehyde in aerosol is below the Maximum Exposure Limit. To be classified as safe to use for humans in a dilution of 1:200 (0,5%),
MEL allows maximum 0.05 ppm glutaraldehyde particles in the air after 15 minutes exposure time.
Contains no carcenogenic formaldehyde nor toxic phenolics.
Virocid® at 0,5%, after 1000h of immersion causes no corrosion on surfaces commonly used in livestock industries and therefore can be used safely.

Corrosivity test done at CIRLAM laboratory based on UN no.
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
STABILITY
EQUIPMENT
Virocid® can be used between 4° - 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.
The dilution of 0,5% (1:200) and 1% (1:100) is stable in water of 6°C (43F), 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.
Products with a VDA approval meet the highest German quality standards, meaning not corrosive on vehicles.
In today’s production world, an efficient and continuous disinfection is a top priority.
The bigger and more intensive animal husbandry becomes, the bigger the risk for virulent diseases.
The bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal and sporicidal effect of Virocid® is unique in the world and is safe for people, animals, equipment, and the environment.
Endless Applications
VIROCID CAN BE APPLIED IN A VERSATILE WAY, WITHOUT HAVING TO ADD ANY ADDITIVES:
Foaming
A foam lance with high pressure ( min. 40 bar) or medium pressure with compressed air (25 bar) is enough to make Virocid® foam by itself.
The nice white foam shows if every spot has been covered. It also gives a longer contact time, therefore: superior disinfection results.
Dilution: 0.25-0.5%.
Thermo Fogging
No need to add a “carrying agent” to fog Virocid®. The small particles in the air allow for an “aerial disinfection”.
Reports of “non-corrosive to the fogger” are available from
different manufacturers of thermo foggers.
Dilution: 1-2L product +3 L water/1000 m³.
Transport
Virocid® is approved by the VDA, the German Automobile Association as “Class A” (non-corrosive). Dilution: 0.25-0.5%.
Spraying
Virocid® can be sprayed through manual or PTO
driven spraying systems. Dilution: 0.25-0.5%.
Boot Dips
Virocid® is ideal for boot dips, if disinfection baths are adequately used and located on strategic places, they are a good additional measure for biosecurity on the farm.
Dilution: 0.5%.
Hatching Eggs
Virocid® can be applied as an alternative to (carcinogenic) formaldehyde through our special nozzle.
Tested on hundreds of thousands of hatching eggs! (*Not permitted in every country).
Dilution: 10% through a special nozzle.
