Application method

Indoors; open system: spraying. Disinfectant for hard surfaces in stables (except in hatcheries). Spraying of diluted concentrate with a backpack sprayer (4-7 bar).

Preparation of the application solution: Mix 29 ml Disinfect Iodine with 971 ml water to obtain 1 liter of application solution. Always add water first and then carefully stir in the product. Use a maximum of 100 ml of application solution per m² of treated surface. Do not prepare more liquid than absolutely necessary.

Disinfect Iodine may only be used in empty (unoccupied) stables after thorough surface cleaning with a suitable cleaning agent. Pre-cleaning is absolutely essential. Rinse or wipe the surfaces that are to be treated afterwards. Allow to dry for 24 to 36 hours before disinfecting in order to obtain earth-moist surfaces. Thoroughly soak systems and equipment with a thin layer of the prepared solution by spraying with suitable equipment (4 to 7 bar). During the process and for the duration of the contact time (at least 30 minutes), all openings must be closed and the ventilation switched off.

Risk mitigation measures

Keep out of the reach of children. The bottle shape is designed to minimize the risk of splashes to reduce eye and skin contact during dilution.

Safety equipment during mixing and loading phase (mandatory):

• Face protection / tight-fitting safety goggles (EN 166); emergency eye showers should be available in the immediate vicinity
• Protective gloves (EN 374), nitrile rubber, acid-resistant protective gloves

Safety equipment during application (spraying) of the ready-to-use solution:

• Chemical-resistant protective gloves (EN 374); protective glove manufacturer KCL GmbH, e-mail: vertrieb@kcl.de, is cited as an example
• Protective suit that is impermeable (EN 340, EN 13034)
• Use new gloves for each work shift

Professionals should not disinfect animal housing more than three times a month. These professionals should not use iodine products for additional purposes. Use only one type of iodine-containing product per day. Stable disinfection should not be carried out more than once a year or once during the lifetime of calves and pigs. Feed troughs must be covered during application.

Storage

Store at room temperature, protected from direct sunlight and in opaque containers. Protect from frost. Keep container tightly closed.
