The number of technical products being preserved with BIOCIDE LXE 100 is increasing steadily and it is not always possible to predict its suitability. The optimum use should be established by a preliminary experiment. In critical cases, predilution with water is often helpful. The optimum dosage rate of BIOCIDE LXE 100 depends upon the degree of contamination and the susceptibility of the product to be preserved. Occasionally, the degree of contamination exhibits seasonal fluctuation, so that a periodical determination of germ counts can assist in choosing the optimum dosage rate. Therefore, the ranges of concentrations listed below should be taken as general guidelines only.
