Description
Ambicide
Superior dual action formulation
Effective against a broad spectrum of diseasecausing organisms
Ideal for use in hatcheries, food processing
and on the farm
Applications
Ambicide’s non-staining, non-tainting dual action
formulation provides a broad spectrum of activity
against viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores. Its twin chain
quaternary ammonium and tertiary compounds makes
it the ideal solution for use in the disinfection of vehicles
transporting food grade grain, and on food contact
surfaces.
AmbicideTM provides a flexible solution for surface,
equipment, vehicle, and egg dipping or spray disinfection
at low temperatures and in the presence of organic
challenge
GENERAL PROPERTIES
• Dual action formulation with twin chain
quaternary ammonium and tertiary alkylamine
compounds
• Broad spectrum of activity
• Specifically developed for use in the hatchery
and food processing environments
• Can be applied as a foam, spray or egg dip
• Can be used through pressure washers and
spraying equipment
• Non staining and non tainting
• pH 7.9
Composition
A synergistic and unique blend of tertiary alkylamine and
a twin chain quaternary ammonium compound with added
foam booster to provide excellent foaming characteristics.
Mode of action
AmbicideTM works by disrupting the cytoplasmic
membrane, resulting in loss of vital intracellular
constituents and precipitation of cell contents, leading
to cell death.
Instructions for use
Surface disinfection
The level of disease-causing organisms present after
basic cleaning can remain high enough to offer a serious
disease challenge. Using a disinfectant independently
proven effective against viruses, bacteria, fungi and spores,
such as AmbicideTM, is essential.
Spraying
Manually prepare a solution between 0.5 – 1% (1:200
– 1:100 dilution) of AmbicideTM or calibrate your dosing
equipment to achieve the required dilution. Using either
a knapsack sprayer or pressure washer on a low pressure
setting, spray the disinfectant solution on to pre-cleaned
surfaces at an application rate of 300ml/m2.
Foaming
Manually prepare a 2% (1:50 dilution) solution of
AmbicideTM or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve
the required dilution. Using a pressure washer with a
foaming lance apply AmbicideTM disinfectant solution to
pre-cleaned surfaces at an application rate of 250ml/m2.
Egg disinfection
Setters and egg stores containing eggs
Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of
AmbicideTM or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve
the required dilution. Using either a mechanical mist/cold
fog generator, knapsack sprayer or pressure washer on a
fine mist setting, apply AmbicideTM disinfectant solution for
a period of 5-10 seconds per 3m3 to wet the surface of
the egg or equipment.
Egg disinfectant dip
Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of
AmbicideTM using warm water (38-41ºC) in a suitable
container and dip hatching eggs for 2-3 minutes prior
to placement in the hatching baskets.
Vehicle disinfection
Manually prepare a 1% (1:100 dilution) solution of
AmbicideTM or calibrate your dosing equipment to achieve
the required dilution. Using either a pressure washer
or knapsack sprayer on a fine mist setting, apply the
disinfectant solution to all surfaces of the vehicle including;
wheel arches, mudguards and any exposed chassis.
