- Amount to Use
VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial can be used alone or in combination with other biocides to create products for a wide range of disinfection applications.
Considerable data exists which provides a measure of the intrinsic anti-microbial activity of VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial, generated via European suspension test protocols relevant to application in Food, Industrial, Domestic and Institutional Hygiene.
Its activity has been further demonstrated under conditions representative of practical use, and a range of use concentrations is provided in Table 3. However, it is recommended that field tests under practical conditions be undertaken to determine the most cost-effective dose for your application.
This data and information on the compatibility of VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial with a range of formulating chemicals is available on request.- Table 3: Applications

The levels of VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial to prevent the growth of problem micro-organisms are listed in Table 1. MICs do not represent effective use levels but do indicate the intrinsic broad spectrum of activity of VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial.
VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial has a non-specific mode of biocidal action which means that bacterial resistance is very unlikely to occur. Detailed information on the mode of action of VANTOCIL IB Antimicrobial is available on request.- Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC)

Effective and stable over pH range 1-11. Compatible with nonionic surfactants, glycols,
glycol ethers, most strong acids and common chelating agents such as EDTA, NTA, IDS.
Limited compatibility with anionic surfactants, strong alkalis, complex phosphates and strong oxidisers.- Foaming/Surface Tension
Has significantly less tendency to tension foam than quaternary ammonium compounds. PHMB is not surface active.
