2.10 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

Applicability

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 liter of water or 1.3 ounce per gallon of clean water. Practice the following procedures when using Virkon S:

Dilution Requirement -

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

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

3. 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.

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

5. 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).

6. Virkon S solutions are stable for up to seven days. Test strips are available to determine the mixed solution’s strength.

Safety Precautions for Virkon S Virkon S is a disinfectant in the peroxygen (hydrogen peroxide) family. It is 99.9% biodegradable and breaks down to water and oxygen.

In rare cases for sensitive individuals, skin contact with dry powder may cause an allergic skin reaction. Use rubber gloves when mixing dry powder with water. If skin irritation occurs after accidental contact with dry powder, take off contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15–20 minutes. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for further treatment advice.

Eye Contact Virkon S diluted in water according to package directions (1% solution) is not an eye irritant. Eye contact with dry powder may cause eye corrosion or ulceration. Severe eye damage may result if not immediately treated. Always use safety goggles when mixing dry Virkon S with water.

Remove contact lenses, if present, after five minutes, then continue rinsing eyes. Call a Poison Control Center or doctor for further treatment advice.
