Technical Details

ADVANTAGES :

The Reason Why Gramicid Disinfectant is Predominant to other Product is:

BIOCIDAL EFFECT
Gramicid has broad spectrum of biocidal activity. It is highly effective on:

All the Bacteria & Viruses.
Ligeonella Pneumophila.
Bacillus Anthracis (being used as a means of biological weapons).
Yeasts & Fungi like species of saccharomyces, Candida, Penicillium, Asperigillus, Rhizopus, Mucor, Cladosporium etc.
Blue-Green Algae and Green Algae.
Protozoa like Entamoeba Histolytica.
The Larvaecidal effect of Gramicid will help in mosquito control and hence vector control.
GRAMICID DISINFECTANT controls naturally occurring Pathogens in the Environment, Particullarly in Water, Food & Air.
GRAMICID DISINFECTANT destroys Biofilms within which microorganism are trapped. Gramicid uses nascent Oxygen to destroy the Biofilms & follows it up with Silver which destroys the microorganisms within the biofilms.This double action makes GRAMICID DISINFECTANT far more powerful.

TECHNICAL DATA :

Foam Behaviour:

Gramicid does not foam.

Discoloration:

In the case of coating of paint of other lining materials commonly found for e.g. in swimming pools and storage tanks, preliminary tests should preferably be carried out at suitable sites.

Corrosive Property:

The following material are corrosion resistant against Gramicid. Fe, Cu, S.S., Aluminum 99.5% (iron free), Chromium – nickel steel i.e. 1.4301, 1.4401, Titanium, PP, PVC, PE.

Corrosion Study:

Concentration……………………………………………….. 1%
Duration……………………………………………………… 24hr
Temperature ……………………………………………….. 500C

Material	Actual loss of weight in mass g/M2/24 hr.	Permissible loss of wt. in mass g/M2/24h
Aluminum 99.5	0.37	10
Anticorodal	0.53	10
Tin plasted Iron	0.04	30
Cr-Ni-Steel (18/8)	0.06	0.5
Iron	0.06	20

Toxicity:

Classified as “relatively harmless” according to IDRL, Pune
LD₅₀ = > 2854 mg / kg.

Biodegradation:

Gramicidis not harmful to the environment. Its principal constituent, Hydrogen Peroxide, does not have any detrimental effect on waste water, as only water & oxygen are liberated, i.e. no harmful by-products occur as a result of decomposition.

Inflammability:

Gramicid is non-inflammable. However, spontaneous combustion may occur if it is placed in contact with cotton, wool, wood, straw, paper, oil, coal, textiles etc. such a contact should be avoided.

TEST REPORTS :

MAKING TALL CLAIMS IS NOT OUR BUSINESS, THE REPORTS FROM VARIOUS REPUTED LABORATOREIS SAY IT ALL.

N.C.L. (National Chemical Laboratories), Pune.
State Public Health Laboratory, Maharashtra Govt.
Bombay Veterinary College, Parel, Mumbai.
Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay, By Municipal Analyst.
Indian Drugs Research Laboratory, Pune.
FDA approved.

(We will be pleased to so you above certificate copies on your request.)

SAFETY MANUAL:

1.When working with GRAMICID DISINFECTANT protective goggles must be worn at all times. It is advisable to use rubber gloves, which after use can be rinsed with water.

2.If spilled, GRAMICID DISINFECTANT must be washed away immediately with plenty of water, (Effluents containing GRAMICID DISINFECTANT products entails no hazards for sewage system or ground water.)

3.GRAMICID DISINFECTANT is nonflammable. However, spontaneous combustion may occur, if it is placed in contact with oxidizable organic substances. Hence contact between Gramicid and cotton, wool, straw, paper, oil, coal, textiles, etc., should be avoided.

4.In the case coatings of paint or other lining materials commonly found, for example, in swimming pools and storage tanks, preliminary test should preferably be carried out as suitable sites.

5.GRAMICID DISINFECTANT should only be stored in the original containers supplied by us, with the corresponding original seals. Gramicid removed from the container, may not under any circumstances, be returned to the container.

6.Keep in a cool place with close lid.
