Application information

Rocima™ 586 microbicide is an effective preservative in most aqueous compositions. The concentration required to give protection depends on several factors. These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which microorganisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature and length of time for which protection is required. Trials at different concentrations are recommended. Suggested use levels of Rocima™ 586 microbicide are shown below.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions

In general, avoid eye and skin contact, wear safety goggles, gloves and protective clothing. In case of eye or skin contact, despite precautionary measures, wash immediately and thoroughly with plenty of warm water and obtain medical attention. ROCIMATM 586 microbicide should be stored at room temperature in tightly sealed original containers. Protect from frost and heat. Any supplies which do freeze must be mixed thoroughly after thawing before they can be used without any loss in efficacy. ROCIMATM 586 microbicide is stable up to 40°C.
