Methods of Application

Spray

• After a thorough removal of gross soils and cleaning with soap, allow surfaces to dry
• Concentrated GLUTEX sanitizer liquid formulation should be diluted and used at concentration levels as low as ½ oz and up to 1 oz  per  gallon of water. For example, to sanitize a 1,000 sq. ft. area of a farrowing barn floor, use 6 oz of GLUTEX GQ1 Sanitizer added to 6 gallons of water
• Apply to cleaned surfaces at low pressure (<300 psi), paying special attention to mats, slat openings, cracks, corners, seams and joints. Start at the highest point working down to the lowest surfaces.

Foam

• To enhance contact time of GLUTEX sanitizers, especially to vertical barn surfaces, crates, pens or onto high surface area materials, create a foam using as little as ½ oz and up to 1 oz per gallon of water
• Apply the foam using conventional foam generator or a liquid aerator, keeping foam between one to two inches thick
• Follow the equipment manufacturer’s specified directions and wear appropriate protective equipment

Fogging

• Remove swine and feed from pens, crates, trucks or holding areas
• Wash all surfaces with appropriate cleaner from Dow Microbial Control, rinse with water and allow to dry
• Mix GLUTEX sanitizer with water and fog at the maximum settings 3.5 gallons diluted GLUTEX sanitizer per 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area
• Wait at least three hours before re-entry or repopulation of animals after application
