Viru-Gard
The Supreme Powder Disinfectant: Effective against all known classes of Virus and all types of Bacteria and Fungi
Viru-Gard
is a powdered stabilized blend of peroxygen compounds, surfactant, organic acid and an inorganic buffer system for
broad-spectrum pathogen control, effective against all classes of viruses, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
and fungi. Viru-Gard is safe for the environment, degrading to harmless components at in-use dilutions.
Viru-Gard is cost effective with high dilution efficiency and effective in adverse conditions such as hard water, organic soiling and low temperature.
Instructions for Use
Viru-Gard can be used for terminal disinfection, fogging (in the presence or absence of livestock) and for water sanitation.
Terminal Surface and Equipment Disindection
Use via a pressure washer with a fan nozzle set at 500-1000 psi at a dilution of 1:200, thoroughly wetting all surfaces. This will require 250-300 ml of solution per m2 to achieve thorough wetting.
Fogging
Using a mechanical fogger apply a 1:200 dilution as a fine mist. This procedure can be safely carried out in the presence of livestock at times of disease challenge.
Water Sanitation
During terminal disinfection, drain header tank and clean, fill tank and dose with Viru-Gard to achieve a 1:200 dilution. Allow solution to stand in system for 1 hour, drain and flush with clean water.
With birds present, dose the header tank daily with a 1:1000 dilution.
Recommended Dilution Rates
Viru-Gard is active against a wide range of organisms and depending on requirements can be used at dilutions ranging from 1:100 to 1:1000. General purpose disinfection 1:200
