DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
PRESERVATIVE FOR ADHESIVES AND TACKIFIERS: ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide is recommended as an in-
container preservative for the control of bacteria and fungi in water soluble and water dispersed adhesives such as
animal glues, vegetable glues, natural rubber latices, polyvinyl acetate, styrene-butadiene and acrylic latices. ACTICIDE庐
GA microbiocide is recommended as a preservative for tackifiers derived from rosin and hydrocarbon resins. Add 0.5 to
1.65 lb ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to each 1000 lb of fluid to provide 5.5 ppm to 18.3 ppm isothiazolones and 26 to 86
ppm bronopol. A higher dosage rate providing up to 33 ppm isothiazolones and 248 ppm bronopol may be required for
storage during extremely high temperatures and humidity.
PRESERVATIVE FOR BUILDING MATERIALS: ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide is recommended as an in-container
preservative for the control of bacteria and fungi in building materials such as mastics, caulks, joint cements, spackling
and grouting. Add 0.5 to 1.65 lb of ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to each 1000 lb of fluid to provide 5.5 ppm to 18.3 ppm
isothiazolones and 26 to 86 ppm bronopol.
PRESERVATIVE FOR LATICES: ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide is recommended for the control of bacteria and fungi in
the manufacture and storage of synthetic and natural polymer latices including acrylics, styrene-butadiene, carboxylated
styrene-butadiene, ethylene-vinyl acetate and biopolymers intended for industrial use such as xanthan gum, gum arabic,
guar gum, protein derived polymers, starches and casein derived polymers. Add 0.5 to 3.3 lb (227 g to 1.5.kg) of
ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to each 1000 lb (454 kg) of emulsion to provide 5.5 ppm to 36.6 ppm active isothiazolones
and 26 to 172 ppm bronopol. Note: to insure uniform mixing, add ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to latex or solutions
slowly with agitation. The actual concentrations required will depend upon such factors as the specific substance to be
treated, frequency of repeated microbial contamination expected and level of protection required.
PRESERVATIVE FOR PAINTS AND COATINGS: ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide is recommended as an in-container
preservative for the control of bacteria and fungi in water based coatings such as paper, wood coatings and paints
(including paint wash solutions) used for architectural, product finishes, sealants, and special purpose coatings. Add 0.5
to 1.65 lb (227 to 750 grams) ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to each 1000 lb (454 kg) of fluid to provide 5.5 ppm to 18.3
ppm isothiazolones and 26 to 86 ppm bronopol. A higher dosage rate providing up to 33 ppm isothiazolones and 248
ppm bronopol may be required for storage during extremely high temperatures and humidity.
Special purpose coating uses: include use as a: <> preservative for electrodeposition paints or solutions, <>
preservative for photoplating solutions or coatings, <> preservative in fount (or fountain) solutions used in the
printing process as a maintenance fluid/coating and as a special coating for printing plates, and <> preservative in
spin finish coatings for fibers.
Note: to insure uniform mixing, add ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide to latex or solution slowly with agitation. The actual
concentrations required will depend upon such factors as the specific substance to be treated, frequency of repeated
microbial contamination expected and level of protection required.

INFORMATION SHEET
THIS ACTICIDE庐 GA INFORMATION SHEET MUST ACCOMPANY EACH SHIPMENT
OF ACTICIDE庐 GA
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
*FUELS/OIL/STORAGE TANK BOTTOM WATER/CRUDE: ACTICIDE庐 GA is recommended for the control of
bacteria and fungi in the following liquid hydrocarbon fuels and oils: crude oils, aviation fluids, kerosene, heating oils,
residual fuel oils, coal slurries, liquefied petroleum gases, petrochemical feedstocks and diesel fuels. ACTICIDE庐 GA
is recommended for refinery and terminal use only. ACTICIDE庐 GA should be directly dispensed into a fuel tank,
storage tank, or flowing stream of fuel in a manner to ensure uniform distribution of the preservative in the fuel
system. Slug dose or continuous feed methods are recommended. When the system is noticeably fouled, add 2.0
lbs of ACTICIDE庐 GA per 1000 gallons of fluid in the system (0.01% wt/wt). This will provide 3.3 ppm of
isothiazolones and 16 ppm of bronopol. Repeat until control is achieved. A shock dose of up to 11 lbs of ACTICIDE庐
GA per 1000 gallons (14.4 ppm of isothiazolones and 66 ppm of bronopol) of fluid (0.12% wt/wt) is recommended in
the case of extreme contamination. Grossly contaminated systems should be physically cleaned to remove debris.
When the system is not noticeably fouled, add 1.0 lbs of ACTICIDE庐 GA per 1000 gallons of fluid to maintain the
system (0.02% wt/wt). This will provide 2.88 ppm of isothiazolones and 13.2 ppm of bronopol. Repeat every 4-6
weeks or when microbial contamination is detected. FOR USE IN AVIATION FUEL, THE FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION (FAA) MUST BE CONSULTED AS TO THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ADDITIVE FOR USE IN
SPECIFIC ENGINES AND/OR AIRCRAFT.
*DISPERSED PIGMENT: ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide is recommended for the control of bacteria and fungi in the
manufacture and storage of dispersions/emulsions/solutions/suspensions such as kaolin clay, montmorillonite clay,
titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, magnesium silicate and kieselguhr used in paint
and paper productions. Add 0.42 to 2.29 lbs of ACTICIDE庐 GA to each 1000 lb. (0.05% to 0.27% wt/wt ) of fluid to
provide 6 to 33 ppm active isothiazolones and 26 to 151 ppm active bronopol.
*AQUEOUS COMPOSITIONS: ACTICIDE庐 GA is recommended as an in-container preservative for the control of
bacteria and fungi in aqueous products such as aqueous emulsions and dispersions including stabilized oil/water
emulsions, silicon emulsions, surface preparation compounds, foam control products, nutrient solutions and pesticide
formulations. Add 0.5 to 3.3 lb (227 g to 1.5.kg) of ACTICIDE庐 GA to each 1000 lb of composition (0.05% to 0.32%
wt/wt) to provide 5.5 ppm to 38.6 ppm active isothiazolones and 26 to 181 ppm bronopol.
*LIQUID SOAPS, CLEANERS, DETERGENTS, CARPET SHAMPOOS FOR INDUSTRIAL AND HOUSEHOLD
USES AND IN POLISHES AND WAXES ACTICIDE庐 GA is added at a level of 0.4 to 1.5 lb. (180 - 680 grams) to
each 1000lb. (453.6 kilograms) of product to be protected to provide 6 to 22.5 ppm of active isothiazolinones. For
control of bacteria and fungi in liquid detergents, in liquid laundry products and also in dishwashing detergents, waxes,
polishes, and other similar cleaners, use 0.4 to 1.0 lb. of ACTICIDE庐 GA per each 1000lb. (453.6 kilograms) of treated
product to provide a level of 6 to 15 ppm of active ingredient (isothiazolinones). ACTICIDE庐 GA may also be used for
control of bacteria and fungi in package utility products such as pre-moistened sponges and mops. Use 0.4 to 1.5 lb.
in each 1000 lb. of water to pre-moistened sponges and mops.
GENERAL ADVISORY STATEMENT ACTICIDE庐 GA SHOULD BE ADDED TO THOSE PRODUCTS
FORMULATED AS CONCENTRATES WHICH ARE IN TURN DILUTED FOR USE AT A LEVEL TO ENSURE THAT
THE FINAL USE-DILUTION PRODUCT WILL CONTAIN BETWEEN 4-36.6 PPM ACTIVE ISOTHIAZOLONES AND
26-172 PPM BRONOPOL, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, EXCEPT FOR PAINTS AND COATINGS WHICH SHOULD BE
AT 4 - 33 PPM ISOTHIAZOLONES AND 26 - 248 PPM BRONOPOL, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
ACTICIDE庐 GA microbiocide weighs 8.7 lb. per gallon. `
* Not approved for use in fuels/oil/storage tank bottom water/crude, dispersions/emulsions/solutions/suspensions, aqueous compositions, and other
cleaners such as liquid soaps, cleaners, detergents, carpet shampoos for industrial and household uses and in polishes and waxes in the State of California
