Amount to Use

VANTOCIL TG 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 antimicrobial activity of VANTOCIL TG 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 TG with a range of formulating chemicals is available on request.

The levels of VANTOCIL TG Antimicrobial needed 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 TG Antimicrobial.

VANTOCIL TG 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 TG Antimicrobial is available on request.
