  • Hatchers
  • Egg Rooms
  • Tray Washes
  • Processing Areas
  • Foot Baths and Wheel Dips

 

Pig Industry:

  • Spray Races for Vehicle disinfection
  • Livestock Housing Units
  • Equipment
  • Foot Baths and Wheel Dips

 

FEATURES, ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS:

  • It is effective against pathogenic bacteria, amongst others :
    • Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
    • Staphylococcus Aureus
    • Escherichia Coli
  • It is effective against the following viruses :
    • Avian Influenza Virus
    • Newcastle Disease Virus
    • Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
  • It is unaffected by hard water.
  • It is biodegradable.
  • It can be applied through foaming equipment.
  • It is non-corrosive.

 

DILUTION RATES:

 

 Disinfection

 PARAGON is readily dilutable with water, and it is recommended at a use of 1:200

Foot Baths and Wheel Dips 1:50 – 1:100
Vehicle Overhead Spray Races 1:200

 

TECHNIQUE OF APPLICATION:

All target areas should be pre-cleaned prior to the application of PARAGON.

A typical procedure for Poultry Industry would be as follows:

  • Remove all animals and birds from the target areas
  • Remove all organic matter from the target area
  • Wash down with clean water
  • Clean with a suitable detergent and water
  • Rinse area
  • Apply PARAGON at recommended dilution either by low pressure sprayer or foaming equipment.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

APPLICATION PARAGON should be applied to pre-cleaned surfaces that are in good repair
DILUTION 1 : 200
USE TEMPERATURE 10 – 36ºC
USE PH 6.0 – 6.5
CONTACT TIME 20 minutes maximum
PRESSURE 2 – 3 bar (200 – 300 kPa)

 

HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

The active ingredients of PARAGON are Gluteraldehyde and Quaternary Ammonium Compounds, which can be harmful in the concentrated form to the eyes, mouth, skin and other sensitive body areas

 

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION:

MAIN HAZARD Toxic, corrosive to tissue and mucous membranes.
CHEMICAL HAZARD Reacts with Amines.

 

SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION AND FIRST AID:

EVENT SYMPTOM FIRST AID
INTAKE BY MOUTH Marked irritation or chemical burns of the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach. Toxic – give at least two glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Contact Physician.
SKIN CONTACT Irritation – mild to moderate local redness and possibly swelling. Wash skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. Contact Physician.
EYE CONTACT Major irritation – severe conjunctivitis with marked swelling and redness of the conjunctiva. Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Contact Physician.
INHALATION Irritation – will cause stinging sensations in the nose and throat, coughing, chest discomfort and tightness, difficulty with breathing and headache. Remove to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Contact Physician.

 

STORAGE CONDITIONS:

Normal care should be taken during storage to avoid subjecting the product to extreme conditions of temperature. Rough handling of the drums should be avoided as this could lead to product spillage. PARAGON should be stored between 15 – 35ºC and in closed containers.

 

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL:

PARAGON is quite inert to the normal absorbent materials, e.g. sand, sawdust, etc. Absorb spillage with above mentioned materials and dispose of according to local regulations. Any spills have to be rinsed with copious amounts of water.

Empty containers, or used containers, should be sealed and returned to the supplier or dumped at a waste disposal site according to local regulations. If not possible, the container should be thoroughly rinsed with soap and water and stored well closed until it can be disposed of.

 

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA Use any type.
SPECIAL HAZARDS Incompatible with alkalis. Avoid heat. Avoid hazardous decomposition products like Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide.

 

PHYSICAL AND TECHNICAL DATA

FACTORS AND MATERIAL INFLUENCING THE PRODUCT PERFORMANCE:

 

Temperature Error

Temperatures above 60ºC should be avoided, as decomposition may occur.

 

Water Hardness

PARAGON is unaffected by water hardness.

 

Effect on pH and Contact Time and Use Temperatures

PARAGON should be used at a pH range of ≤ 6 with a contact time of 20 minutes at an ambient temperature of 15-35ºC.

 

Mixability or Compatibility with Other Products

Following is a table showing the already known compatibilities against various chemicals:

COMPATIBLE Citric Acid, Benzoic Acid, Boric Acid, EDTA, Phosphoric Acid
PARTLY COMPATIBLE Sodium Gluconate, Sodium Chloride, Barium Chloride
INCOMPATIBLE Tetrasodium Phosphate, Ammonium Chloride, Disodium Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Tetrasodium Metapyrophosphate.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION

Concentrated solutions of PARAGON should not be disposed of by drain into sewer systems or natural waterways. They could be toxic to the biomass of a biological water treatment system or to aquatic life in natural waters. Extreme care should be exercised to avoid the spillage or pollution of the concentrated product into the environment. The concentrated product should be contained at all times.

 

Large quantities or ‘slug’ can be harmful to the treatment system. Large spills should be collected for disposal. It may also be possible to decontaminate spilled material by careful application of aqueous sodium hydroxide or dibasic ammonium phosphate solution. A warning must be issued that heat and fumes can be liberated.
