What is F10^®SC used for?

• Effective general disinfection of all hard surfaces (such as tables, floors and cages)
• For animal housekeeping procedures (such as the cleaning of food and water bowls and bedding)
• Can be used in the presence of your animals (at recommended dilution rates)
  
• A solution of F10^®SC can be sprayed on and left to disinfect after cleaning to provide additional biosecurity
• Fogging of entire rooms and hard to reach surfaces
• Fogging of air spaces to eliminate air-borne micro-organisms

Note – F10^®SC should be used on surfaces which are already ‘clean’, but need disinfecting – i.e. remove any visible dirt from the surface before use. For a ‘one-step’ product for light duty cleaning, where a detergent is needed, use F10^®SCXD. Also see our video on the difference between F10^®SCXD and F10^®SC, and when you might choose to use one, rather than the other.

The recommended dilution rates of F10^®SC

• General disinfection at 1:500 (2ml in 1 litre)
• High level disinfection against bacteria, fungi and most viruses (including coronavirus) at 1:250 (4ml to 1 litre)
• For use against the most resistant viruses such as Parvovirus or PBFD at 1:100 (10ml in 1 litre)
• For environmental control of protozoal oocysts (e.g. of cryptosporidium, coccidia and giardia) use at 1:100 (10ml in 1 litre)
  

These dilution rates mean that F10^® is one of the most cost-effective disinfectant ranges on the market.

How to use F10^®SC

• Remove any dirt from the surfaces so they are visibly clean (pre-clean to optimise the disinfection process)
• Add the required amount of F10^®SC to 1 litre of water – i.e. to create a dilution rate of 1:250 add 4ml*
• Note – the 5 litre bottle can be bought with a 4ml dosing pump for accurate measurement. Smaller bottles include a measuring well, which can be used to measure the correct amount
  
• Spray or wash the surfaces/object using the solution
• Leave to air dry – no need to rinse or wipe off the F10^® solution

* 1:250 is recommended for efficiency against most pathogens. If more resistant viruses are known to be present, use at 1:100 (10ml/litre). For control of protozoal oocysts use at 1:100 (10ml/litre). For general disinfection use at 1:500 (2ml/litre).
