Description:

Dexid-400 is based on an optimized blend of glutaraldehyde and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) in aqueous solution. It combines the powerful broad-spectrum activity of glutaraldehyde with the soil penetrating, deterging and rapid biocidal capacity of QACs. It is a potent, high performance terminal disinfectant formulated for use in poultry hatcheries, livestock buildings and for disinfecting equipment, boot dips and wheel rinses. Dexid-400 has broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi of importance in the effective maintenance of animal health and hygiene. It is designed as a terminal disinfectant for use after surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed to remove all gross soil.
