- Equipment can be cleaned with hot or cold water, no additional cleaners are needed.
- Not hazardous to operators, vegetation or wildlife.
- Curing time ranges from 3 to 20 hours and is dependent on ambient temperature, soil moisture content, soil temperature and relative humidity.
- Dilution rates vary and require site assessment with desired result evaluation.
- Longevity of application is determined by land use.
- Recommended application temperature is above 21° C.
- Recommended storage temperature range between 10°-38° C.
- Product can be re-activated with water.
