How to Use

In place disinfection of dairies and processing plants:

• May be circulated at a dilution rate of 1:500 for the disinfection of dairies and milk processing plants following effective cleaning using a suitable detergent.

Cluster dipping:

• May be used for cluster dipping at dilution rates of between 1:50 to 1:200 in cold water, according to the specific pathogens involved to kill mastitis causing bacteria.

Poultry and piggery drinker lines:

• May be used between cycles for descaling, removing biofilm and sanitizing the drinking water system at a dilution rate of 1:50 and allow to soak for 2 to 8 hours. Rinse the system thoroughly with potable water.

General use:

• This product is recommended for CIP, filter bowl flooding; start up sanitizing and central sanitizing. The suggested dilution for general cleaning is 100ml per 10L of water and can be used for the sanitizing of internal aluminium parts of filters, and is also effective against yeast, yoghurt, cheese and buttermilk bacteria. It has been tested at 0.2 % and is effective against vegetative bacteria within a contact time of 5 minutes.
• It is effective against bacteria of particular concern to the dairy industry such as Salmonella sp, Staphylococcus sp and Listeria monocytogenes.

Aquaculture applications:

• Peracetic acid treatment of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ciliophora: Ichthyophthiriidae) and Trichodina spp. reduces the infection by Aeromonas hydrophila and improves survival in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
• Parasitism of Nile tilapia with I. multifiliis and Trichodina spp. increased the severity of A. hydrophila infection and associated with high mortality rate.
• 5 ppm of per acetic acid (PAA) achieved 5-log reduction in the viable colony count of A. hydrophila after 5 min contact time.
• 1.076 ppm of PAA represented the 4 h 50% lethal concentration for the infective stage of I. multifiliis (theronts).
• Continuous exposure of the infected farm to 1 ppm of PAA for 1 week was effective to eradicate the ciliated protozoa, decrease the microbial load in water, reduced the load of A. hydrophila in fish tissues, improving the survivability.
• There was no evidence of ciliated protozoa after treatment.

Description of first aid measures:

• Inhalation: If spray/mist has been inhaled, proceed as follows. Move affected person to fresh air and keep warm and at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
• Skin contact: Wash with plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists after washing.
• Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give plenty of water to drink. Get medical attention immediately.
• Actions to be avoided at all costs: Do not induce vomiting.
