Virkon S — Directions for General Use A 1% Virkon S solution is recognized by industry and governments worldwide as a disinfectant of choice for livestock disease prevention and control. It is versatile and can be used for non-porous hard surfaces, agricultural production equipment, vehicles, wheels, boot disinfection and daily farm premise disinfection. Disinfection of moveable equipment require a 1:100 (1%) solution. To apply, spray equipment with Virkon S solution at an application rate of 300ml/m2.

Dilution Instructions Virkon S is available in individual 1.3-ounce (29.6 millimeters [mL]) packets or in bulk tubs that include a 1.3-ounce measuring scoop. A 1% solution is obtained by mixing 10 grams of Virkon S powder with 1 litre of water or 1.3 ounce per gallon of clean water. Practice the following procedures when using Virkon S:

Dilution Requirement -

1. For heavily soiled surfaces, clean with an appropriate detergent prior to disinfection. A scrub brush may be useful to facilitate cleaning.

2. Do not apply Virkon S powder directly on surfaces you are trying to disinfect; always mix with water first.

3. Always prepare the Virkon S solution in a clean container of known volume.

4. If using bulk product, measure the correct amount of Virkon S powder using the provided measuring scoop. The scoop holds approximately 1.3 ounces (29.6 ml) of Virkon S powder which, when added a gallon of water, will make a 1.0% disinfectant solution.

5. Stir or agitate the mixture to dissolve the Virkon S powder.

6. After application of the solution to the surface(s) to be disinfected, allow a minimum of ten minutes contact time and follow up with a clean water rinse. One gallon of solution is sufficient to disinfect approximately 135 square feet (12.5 square meters).
