• 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

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

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

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:

SYMPTOMS OF INTOXICATION AND FIRST AID:

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.

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:

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.
